miserable 1366x768 resolution when it should be 1920x1080

[giants_fan]

Hi,

Hopefully somebody can help...

I have a Dell E6510 (which has a native resolution of 1920x1080), but for some reason, the maximum I can do is 1366x768. I'm using the proprietary nvidia drivers (version 260.19.06) on Ubuntu 10.10--a brand new install.

Here is my xorg.conf file. It's pretty basic, I think:



# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig: version 260.19.06 (buildmeister@builder101) Mon Sep 13 04:59:45 PDT 2010

:confused:


Any ideas?

Thanks,

Have you tried using nvidia-settings yo set a different resolution? Just open it with admin privileges, so it can write to the config file.


gksudo nvidia-settings

The highest resolution nvidia-settings gives me is the 1366x768. Is there any way to add 1920x1080 to this list?

'Detect Displays' doesn't help any.

Are you connected by VGA ?

What does the xorg log file say ?
Especially about EDID DDC mode validating etc...

Thanks all, but is longer an issue. Apparently, you can get the E6510 with either a 1920x1080 or a 1366x768 display--and guess what--I have the latter. :mad:

Thanks for updating. I was just going to suggest messing with xorg.conf, but no need for that now.
