Hi All;
I've installed Fedora 10 on a new laptop with an Nvidia Quadro FX 3700M
graphics card. The card will do 1920x1200 resolution however the kmod-nvidia
driver from rpmfusion doesnt work properly (at least I suspect the
kmod-nvidia driver to be the issue - however I could be wrong)
Once installed all the queries I can run such as xrand and nvidia-settings
specify that I'm running at 1920x1200 however I know that's not true - I
recently had CentOS installed and it (without the kmod-nvidia driver) gave me
true 1920x1200 and the difference is huge.
So, my hunch is that I'm slightly ahead of the curve per hardware and soon
enough a driver that works with my video card will come along. Meanwhile
I've poked around at the nvidia site for linux drivers and I find that there
is support for the FX 3700, but not the FX 3700M.
Does anyone know what the difference might be between the FX 3700 and the FX
3700 M (Mobile)? I wonder if it would be wise to download and install the FX
3700 driver and see if it works ?
177.82 should work fine.
