low res. after "sudo envy"

[civint]

I recently installed my new nvdidia GeForce 2600 (256MB), and in an effort to get the linux frivers, I ran the command

sudo envy

However, now my monitors reslution is stuck on 640x480.

My xorg file looks as follows

Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA GeForce 2600"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "UseFBDev" "true"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "L1718S"
Option "DPMS"
HorizSync 30-70
VertRefresh 50-160
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "NVIDIA GeForce 2600"
Monitor "L1718S"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"

EndSection

Something I also noted, was that when I installed the nvidia x-server settings program from synaptic, it thinks that I have a crt monitor, when I do in fact have an LG Flatron L1718S (17" flat panel) monitor.

*edit*
when I ran xrandr, this came up

SZ: Pixels Physical Refresh
*0 640 x 480 ( 216mm x 162mm ) *50
1 320 x 240 ( 108mm x 81mm ) 51

The xorg.conf "Monitor" section specs are incorrect for your L1718S display.

I'd change it to this...

Code: Select all

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "L1718S"
Option "DPMS"
HorizSync 30-83
VertRefresh 56-75
EndSection

In the "Screen" section, try adding this...

Code: Select all

Option  "metamodes" "1280x1024_60 +0+0; 1024x768_60 +0+0; 800x600_60 +0+0; 640x480_60 +0+0"
