Had a nice Princeton Graphics monitor ran at 1280x1024 . It died :(
Can't afford much so found a cheap 20' Acer wide screen 1920x1080 ($89.00) could not pass it up
Forgot that my old 6800 plus video card does not support that :(
Ordered a $30.00 NVIDIA Geforce 210 card. It arrived this afternoon
Works but I'm still stuck at 1280x1024 the monitor will display this res but it is stretched :(
Tried adding 1920x1080 to the xorg.conf but KDE and xrandr don't see it.
Here is the output
output when I try to add the 1829x1080 mode
and where I defined the mode
This is a cheap monitor and does not seem to speak to anything else nvidia-settings calls it unknown. Also only VGA input
Any help appreciated
