    DVI and 2405 FP

    Here is my post with my XF86Config file: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=880641 1. I don't think you'll have any problems with your 9800Pro. It should have decent TDMI transmitters for DVI. Try my modelines if putting 1920x1200 for resolution does not work. My modelines are...

    Dell LCD 1905FP VS 2005FPW for AUDIO PRODUCTION

    I would think that a widescreen monitor would be better for timelines, and such, since the X-axis would be wider on the widescreen monitor. I had the 2005fpw, other than the backlight problem, great monitor. I got a 2405fpw instead; *faint* backlight bleed in top left corner, but only...

    DVI and 2405 FP

    I use FreeBSD and XFree4.3 I should have tried "IgnoreDDC" or EDID, or whatever. Apparently, there was a bug with some newer video cards, mostly Nvidia, where the monitor would communicate a weird spec to the video card, and rather than damage the display, the video card would default to a...

    DVI and 2405 FP

    I just bought an XFX 6600GT with dual dvi output. Works fine with DVI at 1920x1200, unlike the Chaintech 5500 I tried on it two weeks ago.

    2405 - Fullscreen movie problem

    I've now installed my 6600GT. No problems, DVI works great. You should change your card.

    2405 - Fullscreen movie problem

    170 MHz is the maximum clock rate listed in the Dell manual. I don't know if I would run it at 193, but that's just me being paranoid with an expensive display. Did you try the modeline that the monitor communicates by EDID? I posted my XF86Config in another thread. My problem is *exactly*...

    2405 - Fullscreen movie problem

    Actually, I have the problem with VGA on my card (I don't have a DVI output). I didn't try DVI on the 5500 either, as the EDID problem reared its' ugly head and I wasn't aware of it at the time.

    2405 - Fullscreen movie problem

    I've posted on this before: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=880105 I have the same problem with an XFX MX4000 running under FreeBSD and XFree86 4.3. I think I've narrowed it down to an XV driver issue: The problem occurs when I use *any* movie playing program (VLC, Xine...

    Linux and 2405FPW

    I use FreeBSD and XFree86 4.3, but this should still work. Look in your /var/log/XFree86.0.log (or similar) file. DDC should probe your monitor and reveal something like this: (--) NV(0): DDC detected a CRT: (II) NV(0): Manufacturer: DEL Model: a00f Serial#: 808862547 (II) NV(0)...

    Pixel clock of Dell 2405fpw - too low?

    Yeah, I ran the Sony 232 fine at 1920x1200. I can run regular applications on the Dell fine at 1920x1200. But, when I use that XV driver with mplayer for viewing video files *FULLSCREEN*, I have problems. And I have more problems with the binary "nvidia" driver. I think it has something...

    Pixel clock of Dell 2405fpw - too low?

    I'm using FreeBSD, and XFree86 4.3 with the Dell 2405fpw. I currently have a MX4000 card. (Yes, I know, but I will upgrade when I decide to keep the display). When starting up X, I get a message from EDID, DDC, whatever, that the max pixel clock for the display is 170 (Hz or MHz, I'll have...
