I've got nouveau running on a 9500GT card, but having a problem with resolution settings.
My monitor is supposed to run at 1920x1200; however, it is detected at 1680x1050 from EDID, which is not the fault of nouveau. I have always had to workaround by using a custom modeline setting and have been doing this for 2 years.
Nouveau works fine at the 1680 resolution; however, I cannot get nouveau to work correctly at 1920 resolution. When I use the modeline for 1920 below I can only see a tiny (1/4 inch) section of the screen at the top of the monitor. It works and I can even move the mouse around in this section. It as if the whole bottom part is cut off and black.
Any thoughts and Thanks, Geoff
