Nvidia replacement renders fullscreen unusable

Hi,

I replaced my old GeForce 8500GT for a GeForce GTX 550Ti keeping the same proprietary drivers package by Debian and everything went ok except that now I cannot run any Windows program fullscreen using Wine: the screen appears black (windowed mode works flawlessly).

According to (for instance):

********************************************

It seems Wine tries 1680x1050x32 (which is ok) but the refresh frequency is wrong (Wine tries 60Hz while KDE reports to be using 50Hz).

Any idea on how to fix this?

Thanks in advance,
Antonio

Run nvidia-settings and set the resolution and refresh rate in there.

Thanks for your help but it didn't work. I also did the following:

1) Deleted xorg.conf and recreated it using nvidia-settings (ran a game fullscreen and it worked once, both KDE and xrandr reported 1680x1050@50).

2) After quitting Wine, subsequent runnings in fullscreen didn't work.

3) Set up 1680x1050@60 using nvidia-settings: KDE reported 1680x1050@?. xrandr reported 1680x1050@93. Strange. Then I tried fullscreen which didn't work and after that, killing Wine reverted resolution to 1680x1050@50.

Any clues?
