Debian :: Cannot Seem To Change Screen Resolution
Aug 17, 2010
Ever since I installed Debian, my monitor keep saying: "Input Signal Out of Range Change Settings to 1600x900 - 60Hz". So I thought it a problem of the screen resolution, so I have been trying to edit my xorg.conf file, but it doesn't seem to work at all. And this is my settings.

Now that I'm more lucid I can adjust the format a bit. If I try opening the TTY the screen goes completely black after visualizing few artifact on the bottom of the screen.
Pressing Ctrl+Alt+F7 brings me back safely to the GUI
So far I tried to modify the /etc/defaults/grub file to uncomment the grub resolution and the grub_terminal to no avail. Now at least it seams to waste some less time to load the grub (it took something like 15 sec before) but it lost the previous green/torquoise background and now it's white char on black background.
On a side note pressing C on the grub to reach the grub console gave me some answer I don't know how to deal with... I was trying to use vbeinfo but it didn't found the command and so I tried the insmod:
Photo(large) of the complete grub console session wrote:grub>
grub> videoinfo
List of supported video modes:
Legend: mask/position=red/green/blue/reserved
grub> videotest
error: no suitable video mode found.
grub> insmod vbe
error: file `/boot/grub/x86_64-efi/vbe.mod' not found

I am wanting to try to change my normal user (bbq) to a different screen size within my secondary user (lfs). I was wondering how one would do that.
This happened when OpenClonk changed my screen resolution and when i changed it back my screen blacked out (and me being the idiot save it).
Debian 8 GNOME
Also (a bit unrelated) could a video card problem cause a user to log out? I have been having some severe problems with my monitor and I am thinking it is th video card. Sometimes when I am starting a program my monitor will lose connection to my computer (HDMI signal not found) and I will either have to wait a few seconds and it will turn on or it will just stay blacked out.

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"

I'm very new to Ubuntu and have 9.04 running on a Sony Vaio, don't know what graphics card I have. My screen resolution doesn't have an option higher than 800x600, so everything looks super zoomed in. Other threads tell me to edit xorg.conf, which I did (probably incorrectly). The result was the computer had mega problems when I restarted it, and when it finally got back to the desktop it didn't give me any other options for screen resolution. Also it says I'm in low graphics mode.

I recently upgraded my desktop pc from 10.04 to 10.10 and ran into a tad of trouble. After I attempted to login from the GDM, something caused the system to crash and return to the GDM. So, I got my laptop out, did some googling, and decided to delete ~/.config/monitors.xml to try and reset the resolution. That got me to the Desktop, at which point I was greeted by more display issues.
The point at which the computer normally goes idle seems to crash and return it to the GDM as well. Needless to say, I disabled the idling/password prompt setting to prevent crashes every five minutes. Anyway, the prevailing problem is that I can't change the resolution itself -- as that seems to cause the same issue.

I've recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 on an old Dell computer I have. Everything seems to work fine, but I can't seem to change the screen resolution. In the monitor Preferences it says Monitor:Unknown. It's stuck on 1600x1200 and I'd like it to be closer to 1024x768
I've tried changing the xorg.conf file to no avail. I've been browsing for 3 days now looking for a solution.
[URL] These are my specs if it helps any, ignore the windows installation info because I have it installed alongside ubuntu.

I cannot get my screen resolution to change from 1600x1200. This is a new install of Ubuntu 10.10 and the desired option ( 1024x768 ) is listed under System/Preferences/Monitors. Changing the resolution and clicking Apply results in a screen refresh, but the resolution remains at 1600x1200.
I have gone through just about every tutorial and thread I can find, but nothing works. Here is some relevant information I have gathered code...

Just installed F11. Been totally frustrated all day and all night with resolutions and DNS bugs. I installed system-config-display so I can get my video working properly. However, my monitor says it's out of range only on the login screen. How can I change the resolution for the login screen to match that of my working environment?

How do you get to the place to change the screen resolution through the menus in Fedora 13? When I couldn't find it, I ran gnome-display-properties, changed the resolution, restarted, and when it started back up the resolution was not changed!
What is the recommended way to change the screen resolution?

Just Installed the latest version of Ubuntu Netbook on my Toshiba Portege 7200 and the screen resolution is set to 800x600. The OS is not recognizing the fact the laptop can do 1024x768. I've been searching the net for a few hours to fix the problem and I'm not getting anywhere. The fix to the problem is to add the info below to the Xorg.conf file. This file does not seem to exsist on the latest version and if I create it manually it does not work.
# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using values from the debconf database.
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only* if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg package.
# Note that some configuration settings that could be done previously in this file, now are automatically configured by the server and settings. Here are ignored. If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

I cannot change the screen resolution down from 1680x1024 (or whatever the default is). Sometimes the task bar disappers, or I get a 'split-screen' effect. I have low vision. I need the old 1024x768 resolution.
I have tried Ubuntu, and many of it's derivatives eg, Linux Mint, Ultimate Edition, and yesterday with Zorin, that seems to be getting good reviews at the moment, and they all have the same problem. Older versions of 'buntu did not have this problem, only 10.04 and 10.10.
I have a standard desk-top pc - Pentuim IV using the on-board Intel graphics, and a Dell monitor.
This is VERY frustrating. Ubuntu is very common and widely-used. The only solutions I can find on the 'net have to do with reconfiguring the X11/xorg file, except there isn't one anymore. This is ridiculous. It should just work. Suse Linux and PCLinuxOS work on my hardware. Why not Ubuntu? By the way, I am not a newbie. I have been using Linux for the last six years, experimenting with different distro's.
If someone could shed some light on this, I would be most grateful. I don't believe I'm the only person who has had this problem, but there is very little infornmation on it.

I upgraded my opensuse from 11.2 to 11.3, but after it, I have several problem with it.
Firstly: My graphic card is intel hd4500 and motherboard chip's is intel G41. After upgrading, I understood suse 11.3 didn't have sax2. at a result. I have problem with graphic card driver and consequently can't change screen resolution, therefore after each restart, my resolution automatically fix to 1600x1200 but I would like to set it in 1280x1024? What can I do to change it permanently?
Secondly: I installed vmware workstation 6.5 and after it, I see a message that say vmware need to Kernel Header 2.6.34-12- desktop. I install kernel-syms, kernel-source, gcc and make but doesn't run yet. What happen for it?

I am trying to change the default screen resolution in Run Level 3 to 640x480. I have tried changing the menu.1st file and the vga=0x301 mode sticks until the system begins to boot and then resets to a higher resolution. This system does not have X, or Sax2 so no go on those options. This is OpenSuse 11.3 x64.

I am using HP Mini 1000 Series with Ubuntu 10.10 (later installed with xubuntu-desktop). I want to run a wine application which requires 800x600 resolution. However, my current resolution is 1024x576. The other available solution is 640x480. Previously, I used pre-installed Windows XP, it allows me to change the resolution to 800x600 by clicking the "List All Modes" button at the display setting, then I can choose the 800x600 resolution. So, I think HP Mini is also able to support 800x600 screen resolution. May I know how can I do it in Ubuntu?
