It has been years since I updated the drivers on my mythbox. I have recently performed an upgrade to fix some issues. What is the best nvidia driver these days for the geforce 6200. I am planning on using my plasma at 720p or 1080i.

The default drivers in R5F27 work fine with my 5500, 6150 (onboard) and 6200 chipsets. What problem(s) are you having?

I get the black screen when x should come up. I thought I might have the wrong driver. Which one are you using?

I get this on the xorg log:

PANASONIC-TV (DFP-0)'s EDID does not contain a maximum image
(WW) NVIDIA(0): size; cannot compute DPI from PANASONIC-TV (DFP-0)'s
(WW) NVIDIA(0): EDID.
(==) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (75, 75); computed from built-in default


I don't know if that is signficant.

Here is the monitor section of my xorg.conf

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
Option "DPMS" "true"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP"
# Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT,DFP"
VendorName "MEI"
ModelName "MEIa035"
# HorizSync 28.0 - 78.0 # Warning: This may fry very old Monitors
HorizSync 31.5 - 37.9
VertRefresh 59.9 - 60.1 # DDC-probed
# Option "TVStandard" "HD720p"
# Timing", version 1.0, revision 0.8, adopted September 17, 1998.
# $XFree86: xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/etc/vesamodes,v 1.4 1999/11$
# ModeLine "1920x1080" 74.250 1920 2008 2052 2200 1080 1084 1094 1125 int$
ModeLIne "1280x720" 74.250 1280 1390 1430 1650 720 725 730 750 +hsync +$

Anything other information which would be useful just let me know.

Thanks

Here is an update

I changed my monitor section to say:

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
Option "DPMS" "true"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP"
# Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT,DFP"
#added this text to try to fix something
Option "UseEdidDpi" "FALSE"
Option "DPI" "100 x 100"
#end of addition rest was there
VendorName "MEI"
ModelName "MEIa035"
# HorizSync 28.0 - 78.0 # Warning: This may fry very old Monitors
HorizSync 31.5 - 37.9
VertRefresh 59.9 - 60.1 # DDC-probed
# Option "TVStandard" "HD720p"
# Timing", version 1.0, revision 0.8, adopted September 17, 1998.
# $XFree86: xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/etc/vesamodes,v 1.4 1999/11$
# ModeLine "1920x1080" 74.250 1920 2008 2052 2200 1080 1084 1094 1125 interlace +hsync +vsync
ModeLIne "1280x720" 74.250 1280 1390 1430 1650 720 725 730 750 +hsync +vsync
