Hello there.
Issue: Screen resolution cannot be changed in Nvidia-settings display configuration panel. Stuck at 800x600 or lower. Also, display is not detected. Status: Happy Status until day-before --->> was using CentOS 5.5 or lower && used Nvidia GeForce 8400/9400 cards && Nvidia drivers for linux from the nvidia site. Not-happy status now --->> CentOS 5.7 or 5.8. Nvidia Quadro FX 600. Process followed before: Download driver from nvidia website. init 3, sh *.run file, init 5. Displays used to be detected and resolutions were fine and graphics was fine. Process followed now: Same. but result is different! After reading from forums I tried the elrepo driver installation as well. Blacklisted nouveau .... etc. No success. Vesa driver loads of course, but not of much use. lspci gives>> VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [Quadro 600] (rev a1) I noticed two things (hopefully clues??): 1. CentOS 5.7 on another machine with GeForce cards also does not detect display but at least resolution is changeable in nvidia settings. 2. Quadro 600 card does not have a VGA port. So, am using an adapter from DVI to VGA and then connecting the monitor. Phil, Pardon the newbie-ness. I did go to the links in your signature and breezed through the content. Tried to post accordingly :) Any help from the forum is appreciated. -Girish p.s: This is my first post on this forum - mech engineer by background. But have been using CentOS 4/5 for the last 4 years very satisfactorily for running some mechanical engineering simulation applications. This forum has been very very valuable to an extent that I did not need to post ! |

Did you follow the instructions on the ELRepo kmod-nvidia page? If you had previously installed the driver from the Nvidia site, did you uninstall it first? Also, kmod-nvidia should blacklist nouveau for you -- no need to manually do this step. You need to provide more detailed info than "No success" for us to be able to help you. |

Just realized this was CentOS 5. So, there is no nouveau.
You could try editing the xorg.conf file to set the resolution for your monitor. |

Welcome to the CentOS fora. Please see the recommended reading for new users linked in my signature.
Have you tried system-config-display? |
