iceburg386 Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 :crazy: Out of all the computers in the world it seems the new 32bit Vista drivers dont work correctly with my card. The enable the glass effects fine, but Vista will only allow the resolution to be 640x480. When I change the res the desktop stretchs off screen, so all I can see is the top left hand corner. Anyone else having this problem or have any ideas on how to fix this? I have a gigabyte 6800gt. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceFreak2000 Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I have a 6600GT and I have the same problem as you. I wanna use the glass so bad!! 586296203[/snapback] Ditto; BFG 6600 GTOC 128Mb AGP - it's almost like having the physical desktop resolution set at 640 x 480 and a virtual desktop set to 800 x 600, but with no way of scrolling the virtual desktop. It's a shame, 'cos with the new nVidia drivers I can see some of the Aero Glass effects, and they look very purdy. Oh well, it was inevitable that there were going to be issues - after all, they're Alpha drivers on an (early) Beta OS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceFreak2000 Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Which driver are you using for your screens? 586296746[/snapback] If it's the drivers for the card you're referring to, I'm using the Alpha drivers released by nVidia yesterday: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_75.03.html If it's the monitor, I'm using the INF supplied by Belinea for my 19" Belinea 10 60 90 CRT.

petroid Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Same problem with a 6600GT. Also occurs with a 5700, so there must be somthing dodge with the new LDDM drivers, as opposed to the stock drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, you can have two identical setups, right down to brands and part numbers, but you cant guarantee both will perform the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IGx89 Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I'm also experiencing the exact same problem with my GF6800NU: the monitor's resolution is 640x480 and shows just the top-left quarter of the desktop. Installing different monitor drivers didn't work, either. The previous non-LDDM nVidia drivers from June worked fine. I'm going to try connecting my monitor to the other VGA port on my graphics card, and see if that helps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glassjoe Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I have a 6800GT AGP and its doing the same thing. All I can see is a 640x480 screen in a 1280x1024 setting. Gay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shekers Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 If there's that many people having this problem, I am sure a new one revision would be out as soon as today...i mean...it does say it's alpha build... :D . But I wanna use the Aero Glass...LOOKS SO COOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inertia Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 lets hope they also add sli support and the control pannel to the new revision :) - if they are making one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shekers Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Doesnt it seem weird that ATI have made drivers for x86 AND x64 that supports LDDM while nVidia only has x86 and in alpha build that doesnt even have the control panel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noveed Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 nvidia are acting very n00bish. they need to speed up on the release of thier drivers for beta 1, also include that control pannel, btw i had the same problemwith them, it was stuck in 640*480 or whatever,.... even when i increased the res it stayed the same. :( pretty stupid, the ATi ones worked fine with my 9800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inertia Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Not wierd no, just a shame, its perfectly acceptable for a company to only just start developing drivers for an operating system which has only just released Beta 1, we will just have to wait a while.

Sean2k5 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I have the same problem here to running a 6600gt with an Iiyama vision master pro 502, I installed the Iiyama drivers that are included with Vista and they made no difference all I get to see is the top left corner of the screen. Oh well Im sure somebody will find a fix for this soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malisk Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I think it's more about your monitors than the drivers. These drivers seem to be picky about your monitor inf files. My 6600GT w/ a Samsung Syncmaster 957MB for example has resolutions beyond 1600x1200. These drivers don't *universally* have a prob wih 800x600+. I noticed some of my resolutions went away, but nothing big. I wonder why some aren't listed but it really feels like inf issues or smth like that.

iceburg386 Posted July 31, 2005 Author Share Posted July 31, 2005 Well its nice to see that im not the only one with this problem. Its a shame nvidia didnt have beta drivers ready by now hopefully will see some thing next week. I guess its back to the non LDDM 6800gt drivers.

Monotech Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I too have this problem and I also came to the conclusion it has to do with the monitor, i spent a good hour and a half trying to work around this and finally gave up and went to the stock LDDM drivers, I have DWM working and my games perform above average. I will just wait till the next release of the vista drivers .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
