Hi, (resending to the new list after noticing the new list announcement) I've got a GeForce 7100 GS and a 17-inch L1730S LG monitor. The native resolution of the LCD is 1280x1024. The problem is the framebuffer works perfectly when it uses 8-bit color depth but it flickers for 16, 24 and 32-bit color depths (in 32-bit it flickers much worse than in 16-bit). fbset reports the same mode in all cases: mode "1280x1024-60" # D: 108.003 MHz, H: 63.983 kHz, V: 60.021 Hz geometry 1280 1024 1280 25990 16 timings 9259 248 48 38 1 112 3 hsync high vsync high accel true rgba 5/11,6/5,5/0,0/0 endmode The same happens for "1280x1024-75"; ie. bpp=8 works and for other values, the screen flickers while fbset reports the same mode for all values of bpp. I use 2.6.31> kernel and pass video=nvidia:1280x1024-16@60 to the kernel; I tried other values of refresh rate like 50, 65, 70 and 75 with no luck. Also I tried inserting M and R characters before the dash but again it didn't do anything positive. Xorg works with no problem (with any bpp value): ... (II) NV(0): Supported detailed timing: (II) NV(0): clock: 108.0 MHz Image Size: 338 x 270 mm (II) NV(0): h_active: 1280 h_sync: 1328 h_sync_end 1440 h_blank_end 1688 h_border: 0 (II) NV(0): v_active: 1024 v_sync: 1025 v_sync_end 1028 v_blanking: 1066 v_border: 0 (II) NV(0): Ranges: V min: 56 V max: 75 Hz, H min: 30 H max: 83 kHz, PixClock max 140 MHz (II) NV(0): Monitor name: L1730S ... The selected mode is the same as the one selected by the kernel for the framebuffer. Any idea what's wrong? What is the relation between bpp and display timings? Any other confs that might work?
