mobilenvidia Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 I'm having great difficulties with 60.72. All I get after installation is a coloured (lined) screen. All my tricks arn't working. Now your job should you wish to accept it is to download driver here. Then install using the nearest Desktop equivalent GPU. Report back with Yeah or Neah. This thread will self delete after 5 seconds. Pieter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest james Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 Pieter, I was very intriged by this 60.72, Installed it with the given INF in the driver with added lines from your INF on the quadro4 700 Go Gl which is what i have. Just for fun for my adventurous personality i added these two lines to the INF that came with the driver, %NVIDIA_NV28.DEV_028C.1% = nv4_WSApps, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_028C Under the NVIDIA.MFG and NVIDIA_NV28.DEV_028C.1 = "Quadro4 700 GoGL" near the end, you know where Then installed the 60.72 with that INF.. And got the highest score i got yet on 3d mark 03 of 1085 Is this a dumb way of modding an INF or am i going the right direction? I mean it runs fine and well.

Guest imperia Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 (edited) I added these: %NVIDIA_NV34.DEV_0324.1% = nv4_NV3x, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0324 %NVIDIA_NV34.DEV_0325.1% = nv4_NV3x, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0325 %NVIDIA_NV34.DEV_0328.1% = nv4_NV3x, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0328 and these: NVIDIA_NV34.DEV_0324.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200" NVIDIA_NV34.DEV_0325.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5250" NVIDIA_NV34.DEV_0328.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200 32/64M" NOTICE: I copied all the lines from Pieter's INF file. But there is a little change. I changed nv4 to nv4_NV3x. No i go to test. Edited April 10, 2004 by dontknow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JFranks0987 Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 i installed them and am having no problems i installed as the closest desktop GPU and in the display properties it says that its my go card i did get a performance increase when i tried UT2004 ill let you know if there are any problems ill leave them installed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teraphy Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 I have yet to install these, Pieter. I'll let you know how it goes... -- installed -- Mine works fine. Obtained a "green screen" color flash just before Windows logon. Other than that no issues. When right clicking on desktop the "Digital Display" is now labeled "NVIDIA Laptop Display" On the Custom Resolution page I can now add custom resolutions as well as "Advanced Timing" which allows various settings to be set including Front Porch/Back Porch. That could be VERY good for those who can't get a resolution. I wonder if I'm the only one with that option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted April 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 Teraphy good news for you, not so for me? I'll have to wait till next release to see what happens. I feel all lonely and left out, here I am making INFs for drivers I can't even use. Can't write any more, crocodile tears are in my eyes :) Might go and do something else for a while, Pieter.

Almighty1 Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 Pieter, 60.72 with your inf works fine on the Dell Inspiron 8200 w/Quadro4Go 700GL. Teraphy and Pieter, 60.72 with the stock inf doesn't work correctly on my desktop w/GeForce FX 5950 Ultra on my SGI (Silicon Graphics Inc) 16:10 1600x1024 LCD. What happens is that the 1600x1024 60hz mode is sending a 1280x1024 60hz signal. This was the same problem that was introduced with 23.11 and was fixed in 27.40. Any version after 16.40 and prior to 23.11 and 27.40 and later have this problem fixed. Is this something that can be fixed in the inf or is it hardcoded in the binaries? Maybe Teraphy can let someone at Nvidia know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted April 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 I'll make an INF for your desktop to try out. Will do later tonight, as I'm on cooking duties at the moment. Pieter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobilenvidia Posted April 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 Ahh Teraphy, I see you've been working on the same thing as me. I've added some more things I found (but can't test) to my 20.34 INF (not out yet) I'm still doing some work on it. Sleep and don't get side tracked.

mobilenvidia Posted April 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 (edited) Almighty1, As promised, here is a Dual Desktop/Laptop INF. I've removed the TNT GPUs, and all GPUs are either normal or Quadro. So it might not work as expected with some of the odd ball Quadro's. It uses my own modded Resolution/Refresh rate table 240hz upto 800x600 on a GF2go. then drops of to 2048x1536x60hz. This might be different on your GPU's as they might have different DACs. But it's 60.72 v30.34 for all, this might no be the official laptop INF yet as I do some more fiddeling. Enjoy, Pieter.

Almighty1 Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 Cool Pieter... Where did you put the file since I don't see it attached? Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PKY Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 Have been using the previous drivers which gave me problems after waking up from sleep (read through the threads discussing similar problems) but with this new driver wake up from sleep works perfectly again. Thanks a lot for the modded inf. Using a Toshiba P20-304 GF FX 5600 Go 64MB No problems at all until now. :) Good luck for your notebook, hope future drivers will work and thanks for your efforts it's very appreciated.

ministeve Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 60.72/20.33 -> black bar. And exactly the same EDID as before (when there was a black bar). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamika007z Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 Gahhhh, should I try these drivers out? I might as well... I'm going to take a look at Pieter's INF before I do so, then I'll report back here. How's everyone doing here? I hope you all have a great Easter weekend!!! :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almighty1 Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 Hey Kamika007z, I think you'll be safe by trying them out... I think if Pieter managed his way out of it, then everyone shouldn't fear anything.... Have a great easter weekend! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobilenvidia Posted April 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 Almighty1, The INF has been added to post (above), It was getting late and my eyes were drooping. Will the Black bar issue ever be solved ?? Pieter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almighty1 Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 Thanks Pieter... Unfortunately, the INF doesn't seem to help any. It appears that Nvidia probably has this hardcoded as I remember this SGI display didn't work until Nvidia added the special timing mode to version 12.40 of the drivers, then they broke it in 23.11 again and fixed it in 27.42 which was working up to 56.72. I have tried all resolutions available which is the following: 800x600 1280x960 1280x1024 1600x900 1600x1024 These all have 60hz refresh rates but the monitor seems to be getting a 1280x1024 63khz signal. The refresh rate is correct. It's just that it seems like they did something and hit the original DVI interface limitation of 1280x1024. In all of the above resolutions including 1280x1024, it is displaying the horizontal pixels in the right amount but the vertical pixels is where the problem is. What appears to happen is that the left side of the screen is the edge but the right side, it seems like stretches the image so that the right side of the screen is missing about 15% as my mouse can still continue going past the physical edge on the right hand side so the image looks more fat. The SGI LCD display has a media box which has a on-screen menu that shows the diagnostics of the current signal. When I go back to 56.72, it shows 1600x1024 63kHz. So basically in 60.72 with the original inf and your inf, it is selecting the correct resolution but just outputing the wrong one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almighty1 Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 Just for interest... here are some older discussions on this: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&...2Btiming%2Bmode http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&...2Btiming%2Bmode This thread seems to discuss the timing parameters: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&...2Btiming%2Bmode http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&...2Btiming%2Bmode I also found this that is for people running Linux/*BSD with XFree86 Xwindows... ADDITIONAL MODE CONSTRAINTS Below is a list of additional constraints on a mode's parameters that must be met. o The horizontal resolution (HR) must be a multiple of 4 and be less than or equal to 2048. o The horizontal blanking width (the maximum of the horizontal frame length and the horizontal sync end minus the minimum of the horizontal resolution and the horizontal sync start (max(HFL,HSE) - min (HR,HSS)) must be a multiple of 4 and be less than or equal to 1024. o The horizontal sync start (HSS) must be a multiple of 4 and be less than or equal to 4088. o The horizontal sync width (the horizontal sync end minus the horizontal sync start (HSE - HSS)) must be a multiple of 4 and be less than or equal to 256. o The horizontal frame length (HFL) must be a multiple of 4 and be less than or equal to 4128 and be greater than or equal to 40. o The vertical resolution (VR) must be less than or equal to 2048. o The vertical blanking width (the maximum of the vertical frame length and the vertical sync end minus the minimum of the vertical resolution and the vertical sync start (max(VFL,VSE) - min(VR,VSS)) must be less than or equal to 128. o The vertical sync start (VSS) must be less than or equal to 2047. o The vertical sync width (the vertical sync end minus the vertical sync start (VSE - VSS)) must be less than or equal to 16. o The vertical frame length (VFL) must be less than or equal to 2049 and be greater than or equal to 2. Here is an example mode line demonstrating the use of each abbreviation used above: # Custom Mode line for the SGI 1600SW Flatpanel # name PCLK HR HSS HSE HFL VR VSS VSE VFL Modeline "sgi1600x1024" 106.9 1600 1632 1656 1672 1024 1027 1030 1067 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almighty1 Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 Pieter and Teraphy: I think I figured it out but don't know exactly what this is called. I tried using PowerStrip. What I had to do was to right click on the PowerStrip taskbar icon and then select Display profiles -> configure then click on Advanced timing options which under Synchronization, there is a sync polarity setting for both horizontal and vertical. I left the horizontal untouched. I click on - on the vertical and it fixes the issue and sends out the signal at 1600x1024 63khz and if I click on + which undoes it, it will go back to 1280x1024 63kHz. So it seems that 60.72 is making the horizontal sync polarity positive. Any idea what this is exactly since I think this might fix the issue with Samsung "UltraSharp" panels as well.

®®® Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 uh, thats interesting. I never understood the exact meaning/effects of the polarisation in PStrip. When i changed polarisation on my desktop system years ago, nothing happens, so i thought it's some weird setting for weird monitors :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ministeve Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 I used powerstrip on a desktop as well and polarization made the difference on one occasion (talking about a CRT anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
