Thread: Strange nVidia (?) behavior


i have 2 pcs per signature below. both run 10.04.01 (both upgraded 9.10 1 cloned other). both have nvidia cards running driver 195. 1 uses 9800gt, other 7800gt.

both pcs have had monitors upgraded crt monitors hp zr2440w ips lcd monitors, have native resolution of 1980 x 1200. on pc 9800gt, once nvidia xserver settings component of "system/administration/nvidia xserver settings" set correct resolution , result saved in etc/x11/xorg.conf using nvidia gui, screen resolution became fixed @ desired 1920 x 1200.

on 7800gt pc, changed resolution "takes" during session, rebooting results in 1280 x 768 no matter whether set resolution 1980 x 1200 in gui, auto in gui, or manually change xorg.conf. have confirmed gui changes become xorg.conf changes. have confirmed after boot up, xorg.conf still correct, though nvidia xserver settings gui has reverted resolution setting of 1280 x 768. getting value from?

relevant part of xorg.conf working pc 9800 gt is

code:
section "device"     identifier     "device0"     driver         "nvidia"     vendorname     "nvidia corporation"     boardname      "geforce 9800 gt" endsection  section "screen"     identifier     "default screen"     device         "configured video device"     monitor        "configured monitor"     defaultdepth    24 endsection  section "screen"     identifier     "screen0"     device         "device0"     monitor        "monitor0"     defaultdepth    24     option         "twinview" "0"     option         "metamodes" "1920x1200 +0+0"     subsection     "display"         depth       24     endsubsection endsection
the 7800 gt xorg.conf file same except video card name. other factor affecting monitor resolution.

have clue this?

Thread: Can not create raid array: mdadm: no raid-devices specified.

hello! i'm trying setup software raid on server, fail @ first step: code: root@sandnabba:/root# mdadm -c /dev/md0 -c512 -l5 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1 mdadm: no raid-devices specified. what doing wrong!? are sure -c equivalent --create? also, think need space after -c , -l options, value shouldn't command, or should have = between. @ man pages mdadm , double check spelling.
