in an attempt to get me less radioactive i have put my lappy on a desk not on my lap. it is a little way from me so i need to do 800x600 resolution so i can read comfortably. the fedora install i have (vista copes ok) only shrinks down the screen to 800x600 when i choose this screen mode. i really need 800x600 fullscreen.
View 1 RepliesI newly installed ubuntu 8.04 distro. on my IBM lenovo n200. every thing works fine. except for the sound.
The sound card is detected the driver is installed and loaded but it just won't work.
I have tried removing then installing alsa-base and alsa-utils but nothing.
I have tired tinkering with the mixers but still nothing.
I looked through lots of documentations and suggested solutions with no luck.
I believe that my problem is simple. but I need some one to check what I have done so far to see if I have done it right.

Another problem I'm having is that when I turn the volume past 60% using the sound applet on the panel, it gets very distorted. If I open sound preferences, I notice it is in the "amplified" zone at this point, so I have to keep it in the "unamplified" zone, but then it's not loud enough.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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
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.

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?
I am using Ubuntu 10.10. I am facing a problem with display resolution. My monitor is a 14" Samtron (56v) and with Ubuntu i am stuck with 800x600 resolution.

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.

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.
My Fedora 12 is not showing screen resolution beyond 800x600. When I installed latest ATI Radon drivers, screen has become blank and I had to re-install.
