#7317 closed bug (duplicate)
Haiku unable to set resolutions other than 640x480, Nvidia Geforce 6800

Description
Haiku doesn't offer me any other options for resolution than 640x480 when running from disc or live cd.
Additionally if I (as was suggested to me on #haiku) remove (or move) the nvidia.accelerant file from it's location the system hangs on boot (after lighting up all the icons)
The Graphics card is a Nvidia GeForce 6800 and using the dvi or vga outputs produce the same results.
This bug affects both the alpha2 and the nightly build 40790.
I do not know what else to put here, so please ask and I will provide as much information as I can.

Addendum, as I can't figure out howto add things in the original report...
If however I delete all files related to the nvidia driver all is well and the vesa driver is used, providing me with all the resolutions I could ask for!
I have also attached the output of listdev on the box in question if that helps in any way.

Check out bug #6716, I bet these two are the same. Vesa works for me, though.
Are you using a not-so-new monitor?

Replying to MichaelPeppers:

Two not-so-new monitors actually...
It does indeed seem to be the same bug (not that I know anything about screens, drivers etc), perhaps somebody with powers to do such things could merge them (or I could attach my files to #6716 and this one could be closed, I have no idea how these things work)
I promise I'll search better next time!

Hi there,
Indeed, this is a duplicate of #6716. Your screen at connector two reports a strange, rather lowres mode in the additional modelines. This is the place were newer ('normal') monitors reports their native resolution at least, while yours doesn't. The other screen (1600x1200) is reporting correctly and therefore if you would remove that other screen this one would work with the driver as expected.
Closing this bug. Keep monitoring the other one for extensions to the driver.
Bye!
Rudolf.
