Dell S2409W ( 24" Widescreen ) with Debian/Ubuntu/Linux Mint

This monitor support resolution up to 1920x1080 but i still can't make it work on maximum resolution for the monitor. My current setting was 1680x1050 and it work just great. How i did to make it works?

1. Download and install latest Nvidia drivers from www.nvidia.com

2. Once downloaded, press ALT+CTRL+F1 and login as root

3. Stop the current Xwindows with

/etc/init.d/gdm stop or /etc/init.d/kdm stop

or you can do this with command

service gdm stop or service kdm stop

4. run NVIDIA-.x.x.sh to install the driver and say YES to nvidia-xconfig

5. Edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and define this :

Section "Monitor"

VendorName   "Dell"
ModelName    "S2409W"
HorizSync       15.0 - 65.0
VertRefresh     50.0 - 75.0
Option             "DPMS"

End Section

save and exit

6.  Then run this for nvidia

nvidia-xconfig -render-accel
nvidia-xconfig -allow-glx-with-composite
nvidia-xconfig -composite
nvidia-xconfig -add-argb-glx-visuals
nvidia-xconfig -add-argb-visuals

7.startx or /etc/init.d/gdm start

it should works..

thank you for reading
