Mandriva or Ubuntu, and boot it to see if it does better than CentOS5.<br> --</blockquote><div><br><br>this (live cds) won't work since he needs the nvidia drivers package to run a widescreen resolution (livecds usually don't include proprietary drivers). it also seems to have an old server (7.1, while the latest is 7.3 and 7.4 is to be released soon), the nvidia drivers also seem quite old. also with that xorg.conf it won't work unless with vesa modes (1024x768). Now, forst of all you should upgrade xorg, xorg-server and nvidia drivers to the latest available for your distro, or upgrade distro version, then set up the xorg.conf where the relevant sections in xorg.conf should be like this:<br>
<br><pre>Section "Monitor"<br> Identifier "Monitor0"<br> ModelName "LCD Panel"<br> UseModes "Modes[0]"<br>EndSection<br><br>Section "Device"<br> Identifier "Videocard0"<br>
Driver "nvidia"<br>EndSection<br><br>Section "Modes"<br> Identifier "Modes[0]"<br> Modeline "1360x768@60" 84.50 1360 1392 1712 1744 768 783 791 807<br>EndSection<br>
<br>Section "Screen"<br> Identifier "Screen0"<br> Device "Videocard0"<br> Monitor "Monitor0"<br> DefaultDepth 24<br> SubSection "Display"<br> Viewport 0 0<br>
Depth 24<br> Modes "1366x768" #maybe this needs to be "1366x768@60", but i'm not sure. try one or the other.<br> EndSubSection<br>EndSection<br><br>Section "ServerLayout"<br> Identifier "single head configuration"<br>
Screen "Screen0"<br> InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"<br>#where's the mouse? does it works? it should have a line similar to the keyboard one.<br>EndSection<br><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br>
</span></pre></div></div>so, recap: update xorg, xorg-server and nvidia drivers, set up the right xorg.conf and retry.<br><br>-- <br>dott. ing. beso
