Debian Multimedia :: Cannot Get Better Resolution Than 800x600

Aug 25, 2010

I just installed Debian 5 onto an older PC and cannot get a better resolution than 800x600. The PC is currently dual booting with Windows XP and in Windows I can get the resolution to 1280x768 without any issues. I checked the device manager in Windows and the video card shows up as VIA/S3G Unichrome II. What do i need to do to get this working at 1280x768 in Debian? I had Mint installed previously and it got to this resolution fine until I upgraded it to a new version, then it was stuck at 1024x768.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Modify Resolution 800x600 With S3 Driver

Sep 6, 2010

I've performed a fresh installation of Lubuntu 10.04 on a rather old PC hardware. Unfortunatly the displayed resolution is only 800x600 although the used graphic card can run with higher resolution (at least with Windows). According to this thread one could modify the resolution using xorg.conf. Below the information for the graphic card:

Code:
benutzer@pc1-lubuntu:~$ hwinfo --gfxcard
19: PCI 09.0: 0300 VGA compatible controller (VGA)
[Created at pci.318]
UDI: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_5333_8811

Debian :: Display Resolution Stuck At 800x600

Nov 26, 2010

Recently 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.

# xrandr xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 800 x 600, maximum 800 x 600 default connected 800x600+0+0 0mm x 0mm

I am using a 15" CRT Samsung monitor and when I upgraded 10.10, the screen resolution became 800x600 and I am not able to increase the resolution of it. This was working fine with 10.04 version.

Below is the o/p for "xrandr":

Ubuntu Multimedia :: BenQ E2200HD Monitor - Unable To Configure A Resolution Higher Than 800x600

Mar 6, 2011

I'm currently using ubuntu 10.04 version. I've recently purchased a BenQ E2200HD monitor. However, the monitor is unable to configure a resolution higher than 800x600. I've tried changing it via 'preferences' - 'monitor' etc. The monitor model is 'unknown'. and the highest resolution available is the 800x600.

I've tried changing it manually, but it says x.cong file does not exist. Xrandr doesnt seem to work either. Or i would get CTRC 262. My current set up is, intel i5 2600, 4GB Ram, Nvidia GTS 240. I'm pretty certain, my graphics card (despite being in the low end) can support HD resolution. Even if it can't, it surely can support a resolution higher than 800x600.

Fedora Hardware :: 11 - Resolution Stuck At 800x600

Nov 24, 2009

My screen resolution is stuck at 800x600. I am using Fedora 11. The screen resolution used to go higher, but after a restart I have not been able to get it about 800x600. Below is a link to my smolt profile, [URL]This is my video driver Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family Graphics Controller. It is an onboard card. I have installed a new graphics driver which did not help. The name of it is, i915Graphics.tar.gz. Keep in mind I installed the driver after F11 wouldn't allow me to increase the resolution from 800x600.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Resolution Stuck In 800x600

I just switched to opensuse a couple of days ago and I noticed that my resolution was stuck in 800x600. I went and downloaded the nvidia drivers and went to install the driver for my monitor through sax2. When I tried to add the monitor driver I would get out of range errors. I rebooted and can now set the resolution to 1680x1050 which is my max. However, when I go to test these new settings the resolution shown in the window is 1400x1050.

Ubuntu :: Screen Resolution Changed To 800x600?

Oct 26, 2010

I've been using Ubuntu for about two years now, then suddenly today (after my PC accidently lost power) the screen resolution changed to 800x600 (it is, in fact, a widescreen monitor, and this resolution looked 'zoomed in'). The only two resolutions detected with xrandr were in the 4:3 ratio (800x600 and something worse). I followed some instructions, trying to reset the resolution to 1024x576.

I got as far as

$ xrandr --newmode "1024x576" ...

then,

$xrandr --addmode default 1024x576

but when I

$xrandr --output default --mode 1024x576

I a message to the effect of 'your screen can only support 800x600 or less'. Ah-ha, I thought, you stupid machine; this screen has had a greater resolution for over a year.

And so, from System->Preferences->Monitor, I forced the computer to switch to this new resolution. When prompted, I reset.

My current problem is that when I turn the computer on, the monitor displays a floating 'Input Not Supported' sign. I Ctrl+Alt+F1'd, and now all 'xrandr' and 'cvt' commands return:

Can't Open Display

My first priority is to get the computer back to it's less-broken 800x600 state;

EDIT: I'm running Ubuntu 10.04

Ubuntu :: Screen Resolution Will Not Go Above 800x600 Anymore

Dec 12, 2010

After the latest kernel update (2.6.32-26), my computer will no longer start up with a screen resolution higher than 800x600. Before this update, my computer would sometimes startup with this problem, but this could usually be fixed with a restart (or two if necessary). At this resolution the panels and a lot of tool-bars will not display properly, so I am limited as to what I can do using the GUI.

my video card is an S3 unichrome (I think. It is built-in to the motherboard so I don't know for certain) my screen is an old ctr one I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on the 2.6.32-26 kernel

Ubuntu :: Broken - Stuck At The Resolution 800x600

Feb 23, 2011

It started when I first installed Ubuntu because I heard it was good and I felt like a change of OS, but it didn't recognise my monitor and because of that it was stuck at the resolution 800x600 (I think) and so it didn't quite look right, also it made going on the Internet really awkward, so I searched on the internet to find out how to fix it and I couldn't find anything that worked, so instead I installed Ubuntu netbook version thinking that it would recognise it because it is meant for laptops, so I put the ISO on a USB and it installed but if I tried to do it again it just tried to reinstall itself (I think it was just because I didn't delete the other Ubuntu) and so I just stopped using the USB, so I eventually gave up and tried to delete linux.

I used the Wubi installer for the original Linux so I used that (in the C drive in the Ubuntu folder) to uninstall it too which looked like it uninstalled it fine, I then made the stupid mistake of using EASUS (I think, I cant check anymore) Partition editor and deleted all of the linux sections and made the C drive bigger, after it finished that my laptop doesn't boot up and im stuck at a black screen with it saying to reboot and insert proper boot device. With it not booting I couldn't do anything, but then I remembered the USB and so I put that in and now it boots to Linux, but I really want my windows 7 back because this linux isn't even installed and wont install, the only way I can use it is by exiting the installer and then using the ubuntu that doesn't really look right and doesn't save anything I do. Is there anyway to get my windows 7 back or am I stuck using this?

Ubuntu :: Screen Resolution - Only Choose 800x600 ?

Mar 3, 2011

I have a good Asus monitor in which I can have a resolution of 1280x800 when using Mac Os (I have a Power Mac G4). However, when I try to have a better resolution with Ubuntu, the only resolution that it lets me choose is 800x600! There are no choices. I tried the "detect display" button but it doesn't change anything.

Hardware :: Monitor Resolution @ 800x600 After Update

Feb 2, 2009

Here are my stats:

Distro: Kubuntu 8.04
Video: Nvidia 7200 w/ 256mb
RAM: 2gb

What happened: I allowed two weeks to pass before running a full scale update of the kernel, KDE, video driver, and various other apps. The update went through and it prompted for a reboot. Once I did, KDE wouldn't load and it halted.

So I logged in via tty4 and checked out the xorg.conf file. It was really basic and figured I had to reconfigure.. So I ran nvidia-xconfig, then startx. The setting was at 800x600. So I went into nvidia-settings and it said I didn't have a video card with an nvidia gpu.

I copied an old backup xorg.conf and restarted X. Then into nvidia-settings but it wouldn't allow me to set the resolution higher than 800x600. At this point, I began searching forums for fixes. There was mention of envy. So I found it in the repositories and installed it. Still, I couldn't fix the res. So now I'm stuck and asking for assistance. Maybe it is really simple. I just wish I saved my old xorg.conf file before running the update.

Ubuntu :: 9.10 - Resolution Automatically Changed Into 800X600

Aug 21, 2010

I have a configuration of:
Intel Pentium Dual Core 2.40 Ghz cpu
Intel DG31PR desktop board
2 GB adata DDR2 (800 BUS) ram
NVIDIA Ge-Force 8400 GS NX84GS series PCI express

It's the first time I was installing a linux. First I collected an extra hdd for the installation. I used the entire drive for ubuntu 9.10 installation. It installed without any problem except the special features were turned off. It was said that the special features and animations would start only if their is a sufficient graphics processor. I picked up a solution and from the hardware drivers option, installed the nvidia graphics card. Problem started when i restarted my pc. The resolution automatically changed into 800 X 600 px. I changed it to 1280X1024 (which is highest for my monitor). But when I restarted again, it again became 800X600 px. And it becomes like this everytime I restart.

Ubuntu :: How To Change HP Mini Screen Resolution To 800x600

Nov 7, 2010

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?
