this is the output of #xrandr: bash-4.3# xrandr xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1280 x 1024 default connected 1280x1024+0+0 0mm x 0mm 1280x1024 0.00* 1024x768 0.00 800x600 0.00 640x480 0.00 1680x1050 (0x7d) 241.500MHz h: width 2560 start 2600 end 2632 total 2720 skew 0 clock 88.79KHz v: height 1440 start 1443 end 1448 total 1481 clock 59.95Hz how could I set the resolution to 1680x1050 . I have formely tried by installing the nvidia driver, but after a while the mouse and kbd usb stopped functioning again. I fixed the problem by removing nvidia. this time the mouse and kbd are functioning perfectely well. so I would like to have a better resolution (1680x1050) without nvidia driver.
If you want to use all the possible resolutions your GPU and display support, rather than the standard limited list provided by the VESA driver, you're going to have to use one of the specific drivers, either nvidia or nouveau. I'd say it's probably more worth your time to solve the mouse and keyboard problem than to try to do advanced graphical setups without the advanced drivers. Many of us use nvidia without mouse and keyboard issues, I'm pretty sure it isn't a problem caused by the driver, instead something caused by the configuration. What I would suggest (and how I install nvidia myself) is this: 1) Remove any xorg.conf file you have currently 2) Install the 'nvidia' port 3) Run 'depmod -a; modprobe nvidia' 4) Run 'Xorg -configure' to generate an xorg.conf.new 5) REMOVE EVERYTHING from that file EXCEPT for the 'Device' section. An example would look like this: Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "nvidia" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" EndSection 6) Save this as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-device.conf. That is the *only* xorg config file I use and things work properly. Matt
tks Matt. just to make no mistakes as the system is perfect: inside /etc/X11 there are 2 subdirectories xinit and xorg.conf.d (that is empty) and the 1 file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf.nvidia-xconfig-original). so this xorg.conf.nvidia-xocnfig-original file is the one to be removed, as there is nothing inside xorg.conf.d and then follow the other steps cited. 2015-01-23 0:35 GMT-02:00 Matt Housh <jaeger@morpheus.net>:

Matt the resolution is now 1680x1050. it is perfect. however, whenever I try to run firefox the X shut down all. I drop here the pastebin of xorg.0.log to help http://pastebin.com/6UyB6Hyw 2015-01-23 0:35 GMT-02:00 Matt Housh <jaeger@morpheus.net>:

I have tried to disable the nouveau driver. so I created /etc/modprobe.d/disable_nouveau.conf file with the following lines: "blacklist nouveau" and "options nouveau modeset=0" but it has been useless. when I start the X the resolution is perfect (1680x1050) but I try to open firefox the x shutdown
