Hi,

I have a 20.1" NEC 20WGX2 and its native 1680x1050 isnt supported by default in Slackware/KDE.

Does anyone have this screen working? If so could you post your xorg.conf?

I have tried adding the resoltion under the correct bitdepth, but I need modeline settings and sync rates as well and i have no idea what they are :confused: :confused:

Thanks for any help.

Thanks guys, I tried the above but it didnt work :(.

This is my xorg.conf sections:

Code:
Section "Screen"
    Identifier  "Screen 1"
    Device      "VESA Framebuffer"
    Monitor     "My Monitor"

    DefaultDepth 32

    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       8
        Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubsection
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       16
        Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubsection
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubsection
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       32
        Modes "1680x1050" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubsection

EndSection

Code:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier  "My Monitor"
DisplaySize 433 271 # mm
HorizSync 31.5 - 81.1
VertRefresh 56.0 - 75.0
ModeLine "1680x1050" 170.00 1680 1960 2136 2240 1050 1053 1059 1089
VendorName "NEC"
ModelName "20WGX2"
EndSection


And finally the xorg log file: (all screens/monitors have the correct identifiers)

Code:
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Fatal server error:
no screens found


Any ideas?

EDIT: I fixed it by install the nvidia driver :rolleyes:, but i get the above error if i switch from 24 depth to 32depth? Cant figure out why it wont work in 32bit?

Thanks
Jack
