Hello,
I've been having problems with my new monitor, a Samsung SyncMaster 172T,
on the DVI output of my nVidia GeForce 3 Ti500 with xfree86 4.3.0. The
monitor has duel inputs, analog and digital, but I'd like to, if
possible, use the DVI input.
It functions adequately using the vesa driver, limited to 1024x786. I'd
like to be able to use nVidia's binary driver, nvidia, or at least the
nv driver.
When I try to use the nv driver, the screen will go blank and flash
slightly, eventually the led on the LCD will begin to flash, and I have to
press Ctrl+Alt+BackSpace to drop out of X. Similar behavior is observed
using the nvidia driver.
I've been looking around for advice, including this list's archives, and
have integrated that advice into my XFree86Config file. I've attached it,
with the added/modified lines highlighted. None of them have seemed to
made an impact on this particular problem however.
On the Samsung website, the horizontal sync range for 'digital' is 30-63
and the vertical sync range is 56-75.

If the log would also be helpful, I will gladly send that as well.
Thank you very much!
