I'm fairly new to Fedora. I am using F14, on a brand new laptop. The LCD screen needs to be matched with a 16:9 ratio, or it stretches everything out. Unfortunately F14 only comes offering three options... none of which are 16:9. Is there an easy way for me to add a 16:9 ratio to my display settings? Does it matter that I am running in low graphics mode?..... it's the only way the liveCd would install.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI use a 17" laptop with a 22" secondary monitor running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. The res on the laptop screen is 1440x900 (16:10) and the secondary monitor mirrors this. Problem is that because the secondary monitor aspect ratio the display is somewhat distorted. It's not so bad that it is unreadable but I work in IT so I am at my computer for around 8hours a day so it wear thin after a while.
Is there a way for me to set different resolutions on each screen? The laptop have an ATI Radeon Graphics card and cannot change the Resolution above 1440x900 even within ATI Catlyst control center.
Under system > preferences > monitor I can select either 640 x 480 or 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768 which are all 4:3 aspect ratios, as my screen is 16:9 everything looks stretched. How can I set a 16:9 aspect ratio screen resolution?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04, I find that I can not successfully set the screen resolution of an external monitor to 1280x1024, for instance. The screen draws blocks of graphics in strange places & doesn't seem to erase properly. This screen resolution worked in 10.10, as did all the display options. However, now that I've upgraded only resolutions of 1024x768 & lower work OK. Is this is a bug in 11.04? My hardware: Dell Inspiron Mini 10v, Intel Atom CPU N270 1.60GHz, 1GB RAM
View 3 Replies View RelatedI generally suspend between work sessions. Occasionally, after a long time of running, my display goes black and is unresponsive. This seems to happen when I have fallen asleep while working. Now, I don't think someone has sneaked in and done something to my computer! Anyway, all the applications are still running (observed by bringing up the console, top/ps) but the X session does not respond. I have tried the Control-Alt-Backspace keystroke that is suggested for restarting X Window.
Over several times, I have experimented with killing specific processes from the console to see if I could restore life to the session, without having to shutdown. Today I noted that if I blast the compiz process it did come back. Of course, there may well be a specific combination of steps I did before that step that resulted in it working.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI installed Natty on a 5-year-old Compaq with an integrated Intel 8xx chipset, using a Polaroid TLA-01511C monitor, and the list of available resolutions varies quite a bit each time I boot. Sometimes it will only give me 1024x768, 800x600, and 640x480; sometimes it gives me a dozen resolutions ranging up to 1600x1200. Only once has it ever offered me the monitor's native resolution, 1280x800.
I'm guessing the EDID is being missent or misread each time. How can I set it to (ignore the EDID and) allow me to select 1280x800 each time? I did notice that when it was a Windows machine, it would give me the short list of resolutions when booted with the monitor off, but gave more options when booted with the monitor on. Here though, it seems to give the long list when booted with monitor off.
Here's my most current /var/log/Xorg.0.log; this time it booted with about a dozen modes available, but not 1280x800.

I have a problem with Plymouth. It works pretty well on low res, but on higher resolution some strange video artefacts appear - see attachments.
I use ATI proprietary drivers, if it has something to do with it.
The resolution is set in /etc/default/grub like this:
Code:
GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1024x768x32
edit: reducing colour depth doesn't help /end edit
I don't know whether it has anything to do with the current problem, but Plymouth used not to appear at all until I followed these instructions (or actually I took them from another thread but I can't find it at the moment and these are the same).
I don't know whether it's possible to take them during booting so I've taken these photos with a mobile and retouched in gimp to remove reflections (more or less), and since I'm no pro photographer nor photoshop/gimp master they look as they look. They should do to demonstrate the problem, though.
I'm using an HP 2009m 20" widescreen monitor, and have a Nvidia 8500gt video card. Latest Nvidia drivers from RPM Fusion are installed.
My problem is that the only widescreen resolution I have a choice of in both nvidia-settings and gnome's "Display preferences," is 1600x900. While this is fine for desktop apps, my video card doesn't handle games very well at that resolution.
So, I know my card and monitor are capable of displaying other widescreen resolutions (such as 1360x768) because they work in Windows 7, but Fedora doesn't give me the choice of selecting them.
Is there a file that Fedora uses to determine the supported resolutions? How would I be able to select resolutions that I know are supported (at least in Windows 7)? Can editing xorg.conf give me this ability?
I just looked in my xorg.conf, and it's surprisingly slim compared to others I've seen.

I have two identical machines. I updated one (yum update), and now I can't view the display when it boots up; however, I can ssh into it. I'm pretty sure it's a resolution display issue on a KVM connected to the machines.
Years ago, I could view and change the default resolution in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Now, it appears that information has been moved to another location.

I have a hdtv as a monitor hooked up to my desktop and this monitor is set to 1024X768 4:3. My monitor is suppose to be originally set 1024X768 16:9. In the nvidia X settings is not listed. So how can I change the aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9? My graphics card is: nvidia FX 5200 128MB (Ubuntu 10.04).

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy laptop (which is without screen) supports the following resolutions: 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 and also few other standard resolutions, but it doesn't support 800x480. I am using the laptop as a carputer and Xenarc 700TSV touchscreen as screen, which is of 16:9 ratio and the native resolution is 800x480.
Now the problem is my old laptop doesn't support 800x480 and It is not possible to upgrade the graphics card. The closest resolution supported by the laptop is 800x600 but the output is horizontally stretched. Is it possible to vertically stretched the desktop resolution so that when I use 800x600, it actually displays 800x480 pixels after vertical scaling? And when I see this 800x600 output in my Xenarc 7 inch screen, output is horizontally stretched and aspect ratio becomes 1:1 ?
I have just installed 11.04 on an eeePC B602 connected to my LG TV over HDMI
All runs fine, except the video is at the wrong aspect ratio. (this results in everything looking too fat!
Running the Preferences->Monitor utility shows that I have 1024x768 resolution selected at 75Hz (good!, as that is what the TV manual recommends), but it says that the aspect ratio is 4:3, but I want 16:8
Running xrandr gives:
Interesting, the physical dimensions reported 828mm x 620mm which is 4:3, but I want 694x393mm (I measured it with a ruler), which is 16:9
The card is a Radeon HD3400 series
So, what do I do next, in the good-old-days, you could just edit xorg.conf, but it seems that this no longer exists.
I am guessing that there is an xrandr command to change it, but after reading the man page for a while and playing around, could not get it to work.
I need my xorg in 9.10 to be in 5:4 ratio for it to display properly. Does any one know how I can do this. Can not update to 10.04 because I get frozen screen with activity indicator stuck in upper left corner. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a friend who runs Ubuntu 9.10 on a laptop that has a 16:9 screen (1366x768) and an Intel 4500m GPU. I'm trying to figure out how to get 4:3 resolutions to display in their proper aspect ratio (black bars on either side of the image), rather than stretching to fill the whole screen. This is mostly for playing older games in fullscreen. I've tried messing with xorg.conf and xrandr a bit, but I didn't have much luck.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a weird problem, which I suspect may have something to do with Ubuntu 10.10.
A while ago I started using a program called Imagination to create DVD slide shows, and Bombono to add menus etc. to the output from Imagination. Both programs worked like a dream. The weird part is, a test video I created using Imagination on 6/12/2010 can be imported into Bombono without any trouble. However, a new slide show I created today, cannot be imported - I get an error message from Bombono saying that the aspect ratio is 5:4, and not 4:3 or 16:9.
The only thing that has happened between 6/12/2010 and today (17/12/2010), is a routine Ubuntu 10.10 update. Does anyone know whether it is possible that a file needed by either Imagination or Bombono (or both) may have been changed by the update?
I want Smplayer to display all videos in 16:9 aspect ratio.
I searched at google & found a solution here [URL]
Its working, with Gnome Mplayer but not with Smplayer.
Smplayer still displays all videos in their default ARs.
Suppose I arrange multiple videos in Smplayer's playlist I need to get up from my seat & change the AR, every time a new track starts playing. This is really tiresome.
I just installed Kubuntu 10.10 on my Inspiron 1011, working great except it will not save my aspect ratio settings, I have it plugged into a 19 inch monitor, I have set the monitor at 1440X900 and disabled the built in monitor, but no matter how many times I correct it, when I log in both displays are on and set to 800X600. How do I make the settings stick?
