I recently install a Dell SE 198 WFP monitor. Using the "nVidia"
configuration utility, the card was set up and the following was
entered into the "xorg.conf" file:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BoardName "GeForce GT 220"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
# Removed Option "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" "CRT-0"
Option "TwinView" "0"
Option "metamodes" "1440x900_75 +0+0; nvidia-auto-select +0+0"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
When I enter the XFCE display settings menu, the resolution is
correctly displayed; however, the frequency is listed as "50" with "51"
as an option. When I press the monitor's button to check its settings,
it list the resolution as 1440x900, but a 60Hz rather then a 50 as
listed in the 'display' box menu.. The manufacturer states the monitor
works best at 75Hz, which is what the nVidia configuration utility
placed in the xorg.conf file.
Why am I unable to modify the settings listed by XFCE? Is there
something else I should be doing? The display does appear to be
adequate though.
