I've decided to try Debian Lenny, after i succefully installed it without any problems there appears to be a problem - after loading the services and etc, my monitor turns off with a floating message saying it cannot display the current resolution, and that i should set it to 1280x1024@60Hz.
View 1 RepliesRecently when I rebooted the display resolution went to 800x600, where as before it was 1024x768. For some reason 1024x768 is no longer listed in (GNOME) System->Preferences->Moniters. Even after reinstalling Debian from scratch it's not there anymore. What can I do to fix this? System->Preferences->Moniters says Moniter: Unknown and stays that way even if I click Detect moniters.

How can I know the display resolution (e.g. 1280x1024 px) without starting X?I mean: let us suppose that /etc/X11 was renamed to /etc/x11. After reboot Debian starts in text mode only.

The motherboard - Gigabyte H97N-Wifi - supports that display, although the display drivers are supplied by Intel, and are therefore nonfree. On startup, my display resolution defaults to 1200x800. This is what /var/log/Xorg.0.log says about it:

I bumped into a webpage which stated that xrandr does not work with proprietary drivers, and if that's true, I can't get it to change resolution on my screen.
I recently installed Debian. I have a monitor plug in to my laptop and i cant get my monitor to display its native resolution.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a brand new computer with an ATI Radeon HD5850 video card I have a LCD monitor with a native resolution of 1920x1080. I installed Debian Testing 2.6.32-5-amd64
Because I have several machine, I use a KVM (switch keyboard) in the middle. This KVM is quite old but still work correctly only problem is that it don't forward the EDID information. Until now it wasn't a problem, and by specifying the correct parameters of the monitor in /etc/X11/xorg.conf , I always succeed to reach the 1920x1080 resolution
In installed the proprietary drivers from ATI Catalyst 10.6 (last version)
since I have 2 problems :
first in the console I used framebuffer in 1280x1024x32. Before installation of the ATI drivers, it was ok, now the screen is completely black !! on every tty (I didn't investigate much on this trouble yet)
Second problem:
I can't reach the native resolution of my monitor ! No matter what I'm doing, the best the driver propose is 1600x1200 !!
I made a lot of test and modification in xorg.conf but without success, it always goes back to this resolution and never propose something higher For information, if I connect the monitor directly to the video card (removing the KVM), everything is OK and the resolution is automatically set to 1920x1080

I installed the proprietary bumblebee-nvidia (version 3.2.1) as per the instructions in URL...The problem is that when I connect a monitor to the laptop, the image is duplicated with only part of the screen showing on the second monitor. The monitor itself is not detected in the display settings or arandr / xrandr, so I can't change the resolution or set dual display, etc. Here is the output of xrandr:

View 6 Replies View RelatedI searched the archives and didn't find anything on this, and was just wondering if there is a problem if you load Ubuntu 9.1 and have a display that's higher than 1024x768. I'd prefer a machine with a higher res, but I've heard that Ubuntu will only go as high as 1024x768.I'm guessing, however, that by 9.1, it should recog the higher res while loading and it won't be a problem, but thought I'd check before shelling out on a machine with a nicer display.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have googled this and I refuse to believe the answer is "older video card" or "ubuntu". Does anyone know what boot parameters to use or how to get Fedora to start the install process in a resolution other than the "Optimum resolution"? resolution=640x40 vga=ask. These do not work. They set the debug display but when the graphical portion starts it defaults to the "optimum resolution" and the message displays "Cannot Display This Video Mode". As you consider the answer, think this is a new computer, blank hard disk, etc. I am installing Fedora 10. Tried 11 and Vista seems less buggy, prefer 10 or 9.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAfter much too often wondering "hey, when did I actually start this time-consuming command?", I'm considering adding a timestamp to my bash prompt.My first try was simple: PS1="(A) $PS1" which gives a display like:(16:58) exscape ~ #
However, the problem with that approach is that it displays the time when the line was written, not when the command on it was executed. So, if I run "ls" at 16:58, and get a new prompt "(16:58) ..." and then run the next command 2 hours later, it'll look like this:(16:58) exscape ~ # new-commandI of course want the line to display the time when the command was actually run, not when the prompt appeared.
is there a way to display a list of all the files changed during current session?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI use an old notebook 15' LCD, (4:3) with the ridiculous (for fly eyes) resolution of 1400x1050. My eyes are not young anymore. On Ubuntu I could select the resolution of 1152x864 which is fine (1024x768 is too big and really makes me look like a grand-daddy...). How can I set 1152x864 on Fedora 13, if it is possible and how? Recent distribution do not rely on a xorg.conf file anymore. I use an older 9000 Mobility Radeon, and there are no proprietary drivers anymore, but the open source one. I gave it a try. Install the package to create an Xorg default and edited my resolution

I purchased a lenovo G550 recently and immediately dumped the Windows OS for Ubuntu 9.10. The display is currently defaulting to 1366x768. From reading it looks as though this display can support both 16:9 and 16:10 aspects. I have ran through the xrandr commands attempting to set my resolution to something...anything bigger than 1366x7768 (I'm used to 1600x1200 from my old T61, so this is painfully small). As a test I am trying to get 1920 1200, from my xrandr results it looks like it should be within the lcd's range. xrandr commands failed on me as I have seen on a couple other intel based resolution problems. I don't fully understand the root of the problem and have not had any luck in my searches. So I have also attempted to manually create the xorg.conf file, not luck yet.

I have a Dell U2311H monitor which has a native resolution of 1920 x 1080. My graphics card is an ATI 6870.
Last night I installed Ubuntu 10.10 alongside my Windows installation, and when booting into Ubuntu, the maximum resolution I can select is 1280 x 1024.
How can I resolve this to get Ubuntu to display at the native resolution?
I changed my display resolution to 832x624 from a higher resolution. Now all my resolution higher than 832x624 have disappeared and I cannot set a higher resolution.Does anyone know how I can get my higher display resolutions back.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI installed 9.10 on a computer I'm working on, and right away the graphics went out. It won't display the proper resolution without shoving the display significantly to the left.
After MUCH Googling, I found that this can be fixed by a driver called i915. After much MORE Googling, I found [URL], which as you can imagine filled me with relief.
And THEN I try to follow the instructions and discover to my pure horror that GRUB has been gutted and made unusable in 9.10. GRUB2 just simply does not seem to have an option to insert the i915 driver into my boot command.
should I just forget this unstable release and burn a 9.04 disk instead?
I've just installed BitDefender on my 10.04 netbook, updated and activated it, completed a scan, and found Backdoor.Generic.284566 The thing is, it won't let me delete/quarantine the nasty. BitDefender does give me a warning about my screen resolution being too low (800x600), i believe this may be the problem. The option buttons are not visible on the screen, therefore I cannot use the program properly.(i tried the max resolution 1024x600, but to no avail )
