>
> I have a 17inch widescreen TFT monitor made by Kiss Technology.
> Their website is being overhauled atm but I found direct links to the
> monitor info and brochure page: http://www.kiss-technology.com/?p=coolview3
>
> I have a creative GeForce2 GTS (nvidia) graphics card.
>
> I used to use Mandrake 10.0 (default with xfree86), it took me a short
> amount of time to get the 17inch widescreen working right, but I did
> without experiencing this problem.
> I updated to Mandrake 10.1 packages which saw the default X becoming
> xorg - and at once I started experiencing a problem with the display.
> After upgrading to 10.2/2005LE I have the same problems.
> Thus I believe that xorg is the root of the issue.. with the mandriva
> tools not setting it up correctly (I intend no slight towards xorg!
> don't hurt me!!).
>
> The problem: the colour of the display is darker, with horizontal bands
> from 'bleed' of colour, i.e. the relatively darker colour of the
> titlebar of a window will spread outwards left and right from the window
> to fill the screen.
>
> I thought it was some modeline problem, and so copied the modelines from
> my working XF86Config-4 file into xorg.conf, but this didn't help.
>
> Advice on the mandriva mailing list was to run monitor-edid and use the
> modeline from that. This did not help. monitor-edid output is:

> Name: DCM0170
> EISA ID: DCM0170
> Screen size: 31.0 cm x 23.0 cm (15.20 inches, aspect ratio 4/3 = 1.35)
> Gamma: 2.07
> Analog signal
> Max video bandwidth: 130 MHz

> HorizSync 30-80

> # Monitor preferred modeline (75.0 Hz vsync, 80.0 kHz hsync, ratio 5/4)
> ModeLine "1280x1024" 135 1280 1296 1440 1688 1024 1025 1028 1066
> -hsync -vsync

> This does pose an immediate question. Why is it suggesting 1280x1024
> when it is a widescreen monitor, surely it should be suggesting 1280x768
> (even Kiss website lists that as the max resolution)?

> If it is indeed the modeline that is my problem, can anyone suggest
> anything to help me?

> If it isn't a modeline issue, can anyone think of anything else?
