In the vein of the "Can't get resolution higher than 1280x1024" and
"Another CentOS 5 oddity..." threads, I just installed CentOS5 w/Xen
kernel on a Sony VAIO desktop with an nVidia NV5M64 (RIVA TNT2 64 Pro)
card, using an old Samsung SyncMaster 700NF monitor.
system-config-display chose the highest possible resolution for the
monitor and Xorg did its best to drive it, but it just isn't quite
right...
Since you're not going to be using the GUI much, this won't matter, but
I was able to get my nVidia Quadro 4 running pretty nice (except for
some of the fancier screenasvers crashing the x server...) using the
binary drivers from RPMForge.
Search the list archives for "NVidia Quadro4 200/400 NVS CentoOS 4.4"
starting on April 5...
Here is my xorg.conf file:
