Re: [gNewSense-users] GeForce 7025 and gNS

[Tor at Shared Genius]

Last I recall looking, the second command Eric gave you edited 
xorg.conf, but I believe there have been significant changes to X since 
then which may have altered the behavior of the command.  You may have 
to run it with X not running in order to get it to work correctly.  I 
believe a refresh rate of 60Hz is most universally supported by 
monitors, or if you know that your monitor supports something different 
you can try that.

If you don't succeed with the second command given by Eric (copied 
below, for convenience), try taking out the -phigh option ( sudo 
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ).  This will run through a variety of 
options and let you manually select everything.  I believe you may also 
be able to add 'Driver   "nv"' to the device section of xorg.conf.  Line 
shown in place below.

Running gksudo displayconfig-gtk and and manually setting the monitor
and video card *may* help.

Does sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg give you any errors?

Cheers,
