Description Hu Jiaqi 2008-12-07 06:02:50 UTC

My video card is 'nVidia 8400m gs' and the screen resolution should be 1280x800,
but when I boot up to GMC KDE4 LiveCD, X starts with the 'vesa' driver instead of 'nv' driver
and I can only get 800x600.
Manually adjusting in Sax shows no problem. 
I think maybe something about automatic detecting is broken.

11.0 LiveCD works fine.

I try it again and it now uses 'nv' driver but the resolution is still wrong.

Maybe we don't know that card yet.
Please post the output of 'lspci -n'. Also, please check what driver you get when you invoke 'sax2 -a -r'.
