Problem with resolution 1366x768.

[Felipe Rozélio]

Good morning, well I used the amd64 debian squeeze in a philips monitor had a resolution of 1024x768
and had no problem. I bought a monitor from AOC e943Fwsk 18.5 'and then the problems started,
first noticed on the right side there was a thin black belt by cutting a small piece of the picture,
I researched and researched and found how to install the nvidia drivers and set up. Drivers installed and xorg.conf
created, now restart your pc when rebooted I noticed the fonts slightly deformed, was soon set in
the monitor, except that the resolution does not leave 1368x768 50 Hz whereas my monitor is 1366x766. after
attempt to do a lot of work and leave the legal resolution without that black strip on the right side
cutting some of the image, changed the driver setting in xorg.conf instead of "nvidia", "nv" and rebooted
X. When she returned I noticed that the image was further cut down a bit and decided the resolution
to 1360x768 and it was perfect, and so it is now that the image is complete and uncut.
But anyway there is a mistake because I wanted to use my 1366x768 resolution with no problems and
I noticed it on many distros, not only in Debian. Has anyone experienced the same problem with resolution
wide?

Probably some issue with how the monitor's EDID information is being
reported. Dealing with that is something I haven't had to do really, I can't
help much. There should be some workarounds, but it likely requires
deep X modeline stuff.

If you want to skip the "trying to fix it" part and go straight to despair,
read Matthew Garrett's (mjg59) blog entries about it.

Sounds like it may just need the monitor auto adjusting, try the monitors menu, or if there is an 'auto' button just press it.

(Maybe you have done so, but I thought it worth stating, just in case.)

Should be 1366 x 768 right?

Be happy, I have a Asus VW161D which has 1366x768 too, but Squeeze force
the resolution to 1360x768 and it does not mather what I configure.

Since Squeeze enforce this crapy resolution, VLC refuse to play several
High-Resolution mp4 files and I hear only the sound...

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening

You can try playing with "xrandr" (which works better when using the nv
driver), a command line utility to add undetected resolutions that can be
then set as the default:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution

For nvidia closed driver you can try to setup the desired resolution by
using the "nvidia-settings" utility.
