How can I increase resolution when impossible to set up nvidia driver?
- by Asimov4
I was stuck at 1024x758 before creating an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file as follows which works well to allow me to have a resolution of 1920x1200 with the vesa driver.
Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Configured Video Device"
    Driver      "vesa"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
    Identifier  "Configured Monitor"
    HorizSync 24.0 - 83.0
    VertRefresh 50.0 - 75.0
EndSection
Section "Screen"
    Identifier  "Default Screen"
    Monitor     "Configured Monitor"
    Device      "Configured Video Device"
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport    0 0
        Depth       24
        Modes       "1920x1200"
    EndSubSection
EndSection
But now my display is kind of slow. I have an NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT but really cannot find how to set up the driver to work.
Are there any alternatives to VESA that would work faster?
