Hi to all,

I have RHEL 6.4 and NVIDIA GeForce 210 graphics card. After disabling nouveau and installing driver
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-319.17.run
display is enormous and one inch right sided. I did like this :-

Code:
# cd /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau
# mv nouveau.ko nouveau.ko.bak
# cd /boot
# mv initramfs-$(uname -r).img initramfs-$(uname -r).img.nouveau
# dracut initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
... wait...
# shutdown -r now


Do (*) again.

After gonig to runlevel 3 :-

wherever you stored you driver installer.

Code:

Code:
# ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-319.17.run


I followed the guide, responde yes or okay when applicable.

When I see the prompt again,

Code:
# shutdown -r now


Now I should have a nice GNOME 3 desktop waiting for me to login.

But This was not happened. There was only 848x468 max resolution
nothing was clear.

And this card is wonking properly in Win 7 at resolution 1360x768

Please tell me what should I do next to resolve this problem.

I also tried adding vga=792 to its Grub options for vga mode of 1024x768
resolution and 16M colors. but nothing was happned except CLI changed to
high resolution and GUI was same enormous.

Thanx in advance.
 


yes, Nvidia driver is running and is looking like this

, in RHEL 6.4 this is enormous. Because this is is only 848x480 resolution. how to correct it. link doesn't helped me.
 
There are several things that can be tried to work around this problem:

  • Add the parameter "resolution=1360x768" to the kernel line in grub.conf.
  • Add the parameter "video=1360x768" to the kernel line in grub.conf.
  • Modify and use the following xorg.conf file to allow your system to achieve the 1360x768 resolution necessary for hardware certification. To create an xorg.conf, refer How to create "xorg.conf" to configure X Windows on a system with no prior X configuration ?
  • Code:
    # This xorg.conf file has been designed for systems that support a resolution
    # of 1024x768 or greater, but only lower resolutions are listed in the
    # computer's System, Preferences, Display application. It assumes that X works
    # at low resolutions. It will allow you to achieve the 1024x768 resolution
    # necessary for hardware certification purposes if you save it as xorg.conf,
    # place it in the /etc/X11 directory and restart X. Please read the other
    # comment lines in this file and follow their directions to prepare the
    # file for use.

Respected sir ryanvade,
yesterday once I started my RHEL6.4 I found display of 1360x768 resolution , but after restarting computer all the things were reverted, how it was possible I don't know(that good display).
I tried everything you told me. Blacklisting in grub.conf, and in /etc/modprobe/blacklist.conf

written in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Samsung"
ModelName "LCD Panel 1360x768"
HorizSync 28.0 - 33.0
VertRefresh 43.0 - 72.0
Option "DPMS"
EndSection

lsmod gives this result :-

[root@kaljayi ~]# lsmod | grep nvidia
nvidia 9404959 28
i2c_core 31084 2 i2c_i801,nvidia


and nothing was changed.
what should I do next.
 
hmmm. Maybe something like this:
Code:
Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Device    "Card0"
    Monitor    "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth    24
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport  0 0
        Depth    24
        Modes  "1280x800"
    EndSubSection
EndSection
This one is tricky..
 
I think this is GNOME not the system.
Could you check in
System->Administration->Display
AND
System->Preference->Screen
 
sir finally I installed CentOS 6.4 and did as follows
Code:
#vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
I appended this line :
blacklist nouveau
:wq

#vim  /boot/grub/grub.conf
I appended in line of kernel
rdblacklist=nouveau
:wq

then
# cd /boot
#mv initramfs-version.img  initramfs-version.img.bak

#dracut initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

#init 6

after that going to runlevel 3
Code:
#./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-319.17.run
#init 6

after that everything was okay, but after rebooting 3-4 times again same problem ,
enormous display and to recover it complete format requires. Is there any hardware related problem i.e. in graphics card. In windows also sometimes screen goes black for a second with a alert sound, like it is updating something.
