DVI-VGA adapter problem












1















Is it possible to add unsupported resolution when monitor is connected via DVI -> VGA (passive probably) adapter? The problem is that the monitor (Acer AL1916W) is reported as CRT monitor, mainly because it connected indirectly to the GPU (nVidia 9800GTX+ using driver v310.14 @ xubuntu 12.10). I've tried adding custom resolution with xrandr, but result was following:



xrandr --newmode "1680x1050_60.00"  146.25  1680 1784 1960 2240  1050 1053 1059 1089 -hsync +vsync

xrandr --addmode DVI-I-0 1680x1050_60.00
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 153 (RANDR)
Minor opcode of failed request: 18 (RRAddOutputMode)
Serial number of failed request: 31
Current serial number in output stream: 32


The persists on windows too, but it can be fixed by adding custom resolution from nVidia Control Panel.



Thanks in advance!
