increase screen resolution from 1024x768 to 1920x1080

Stefano Colonna

Stefano Colonna

I have a graphic controller NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti on a PC Desktop HP Pavilion h8-1120 it.
I have succesfully installed a FreeBSD 10.3 RELEASE with Xorg and xfce4 that run correctly but with only 1024x768 screen resolution.
I haven't installed a DM but I have seen that xorg have installed an old TWN that start with startx command. I start xfce desktop with startxfce4 command
I have two monitor but actually I have checked my configuration with only one monitor Samsung SyncMaster BX2231 that support FullHD 1920x1080.
Now I want to increase my Xorg and xfce4 resolution to FullHD but I have some errors by Xorg:

1) I have erased old xorg.conf and xorg.conf.new and /var/log/xorg.log

2) I have ran Xorg -configure

3) in old and in new Xorg.0.log I have always this message:

Code: 
Number of created screens does not match number od detected devices
Configuration failed.
(EE) Server terminated with error


This is my /boot/loader.conf
Code: 
kern.vty=vt
I have booted with and without this loader.conf and I have always the same error by Xorg -configure


This is my /etc/rc.conf:

Code: 
hostname="amatronico"
keymap="it"
ifconfig_re0="DHCP"
ifconfig_re0_ipv6="inet6 accept_rtadv"
sshd_enable="YES"
# Set dumpdev to "AUTO" to enable crash dumps, "NO" to disable
dumpdev="AUTO"

moused_enable="YES"

dbus_enable="YES"

hald_enable="YES"

devfs_system_ruleset="localrules"

linux_load="YES"

This is my output of pciconf:

If I launch xrandr in command line of the console before starting xfce4 I have this response:
Code: 
Can't open display

I have also added to /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/screen-resolution.conf the following code:

Code: 
Section "Screen"
   Identifier "Screen0"
   Device  "Card0"
   SubSection "Display"
   Modes  "1920x1080"
   EndSubSection
EndSection

Finally I prefer don't install the NVDIA driver if possible.

Then you're stuck on 1024x768. The nv(4) driver doesn't support your card.

Dear SirDice

Since I want to increase my screen resolution I have understood that I have to install the proprietary NVIDA driver NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86_64-361.42 with command make install but this is the result:

Code: 
[...] 
make[2]: "/usr/share/mk/bsd.kmod.mk" line 12: Unable to locate the kernel source tree. Set SYSDIR to override 
*** Error code 1 
[...]

During the FreeBSD installation I have chosen to not install source code and now, since I'm a newbie of FreeBSD, I don't know if it's possible to install the source without erase the current installation.
 
Dear SirDice and tobik

I have installed the proprietary NVIDIA driver according the instructions of the thread from tobik suggested to me in the precedent post and now finally I have my FullHD resolution at 1920x1080 and also with double monitor !!!

Thanks and best regards,

Stefano Colonna
