Nvidia GeForce4 MX440...50hz is 85hz in fact...

[Panthera Tigris]

After installing the correct nvidia drivers for my GeForce4 mx440, I realised that Configure-KDesktop shows the resolution as 50hz. But when I use the menu button on my monitor I can see that it works  in 85 hz in fact. So thats what I want.

But don't choose a higher one on Configure-KDesktop  like 53hz or 54hz because the real resolution becomes worse like 75hz or somethin and 55hz is the worst .Then I learned that this is due to a known bug.

I have the same problem. I set my monitor at 85hz by using NVIDIA configuration panel but it's temporary-the configuration is lost when I restart Pardus. Saving the settings to xorg.conf doesn't help.

You should launch "nvidia-settings" application everytime you login to KDE.

I know that and it's getting on my nerves.

You can write a little script for automatically starting, you won't even realise how "nvidia-settings" is opened and closed, you'll just realise your nvidia settings are set.

First, install "autostart" package via package-manager then open a console and copy these commands;

Code:

echo '#!/bin/bash' >> nvidia
echo 'nvidia-settings &' >> nvidia
echo 'sleep 2' >> nvidia
echo 'killall nvidia-settings' >> nvidia
chmod +x nvidia
mv nvidia ~/.kde/Autostart

What does these commands do?

1- Creates a bash script for starting and closing nvidia-settings
2- Makes nvidia script executable
3- Moves it to ~/.kde/Autostart

Thank you, I will try it later

Instead of running "nvidia-settings" in "RUN Box" (Alt + F2),
Run it in a konsole as sudo.
Code:
sudo nvidia-settings

Enter password not root.

Now set your personal settings in nvidia and save.

Now "all" settings are saved and no probs with creating or deleting files.
I can now even save my res at 75hz. with millions of colors.

Reboot your pc and run "nvidia-settings" all your nvidia settings should be as saved from previous session including your res. at 85hz.
