Comment 59 for bug 173418

Avery,
Thanks for the quick reply. In essence you say I have to disable glx.
I did that to comment out the Load "glx" line (put a # in column 1) but
apparently that did not the trick but I have to use the line Disable
"glx" in section Module.
 However, in my other Linux configuration (FC7 with vesa drivers) glx is
enabled: I give the relevant sections of xorg.conf:
Section "Module"
 Load "extmod"
 Load "glx"
 Load "dbe"
 Load "extmod"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
 HorizSync 31.0 - 83.0
 VertRefresh 56.0 - 75.0
 Identifier "Monitor0"
 VendorName "Belinea"
 ModelName "1925 S1W"
 Option "UseEdidFreqs" "1"
# DisplaySize 426 270
 Option "dpms"
EndSection

Section "Device"

# Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
 Identifier "Videocard0"
 Driver "vesa"
 VendorName "Xorganisation"
 BoardName "nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 4000 AGP 8x]"
 Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
EndSection

I use 'vesa" as the nvidia drivers doesn't work. (If I give as driver
"nvidia" my system will not start in graphic mode and gives a screen
hardware message saying "signal out of range" and I assume it is either
pixel clock or refresh rate that is out of range.
The problem I have now there is that my new wide screen
monitor-resolution 1440x900 will not work.
I assume that the old hardware (see boardname in section "Device") does
not know that resolution. Can you give me clues how to get that in the
board. I don't do games but use the highest resolution to give me enough
space on my screen (a.o. for audio editing with more than 12 channels).
Hope you can help me out.
Sorry for the lot of questions but I hope you can help me out.
Joep
