Fedora Hardware :: Can't Get 1680x1050 Resolution On F13
May 31, 2010
I performed a clean install of Fedora 13 (LXDE remix) over the weekend, and have been very pleased with it so far. However, I encountered a setback this morning when I brought my laptop into the office and hooked it up to an external Viewsonic VG2030wm LCD monitor. I can no longer utilize the native resolution of 1680x1050, although on F11 I could do so using the commands:
Code:
xrandr --output LVDS --off && xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1680x1050
The 1680x1050 mode is listed by xrandr (see below). However, when I run the above command the external monitor repeated alternates between a black screen and displaying my desktop (I'm not sure if the resolution is correct -- it's hard to tell).
I'm running 10.04 desktop on a Dell PowerEdge T710 connected to a Dell 22" LCD (E2210). The T710 uses a Matrox G200eW chipset. For some reason, I can't set the display resolution to the native res of my monitor (1680x1050). For what it's worth, here are the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
X.Org X Server 1.7.6 Release Date: 2010-03-17 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.24-27-server x86_64 Ubuntu Current Operating System: Linux map-renderer-1 2.6.32-22-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 3 19:31:57 UTC 2010 x86_64 Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-22-generic root=UUID=95546d53-2465-4192-84e4-ed7d2a6a8491 ro quiet splash [Code].....
The native resolution from my LCD monitor is 1680x1050, but the list of "NVIDIA X Server Settings" only allow me to set it to maximum 1360x768. The monitor is conected via VGA cable and it is recognized as CRT-0. When I run the 'xrandr' command from terminal, it shows:
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default Screen 0: minimum 320 x 240, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1680 x 1050 default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm 1024x768 50.0* 800x600 51.0 52.0 53.0
I have this 20"-21" Gateway display that has a resolution of 1680x1050, and will not work proper at a lower resolution, it squishes up and does not fit to the desk top but I can't find a way to manually set the resolution. I am using Ubuntu version 7.10.
I recently installed Ubuntu 10.04, and after I rebooted to finish installing my Nvidia drivers, the bootsplash reset itself to a resolution of 800x600. Is there any way to change it back to 1680x1050?
Intel motherboard DG33TL, chipset G33. I use the on-board graphics. The display is an Fujitsu-Siemens 22" with 1680x1050 res. The latest four versions including 10.04 of Ubuntu selects wrong resolution at boot up, 1024x768. There is no option for higher res. It should be 1680x1050 and I can't change it. Have not found a solution. It works on other quite modern motherboards, but just NOT DG33TL.
I'm trying to help my brother get his monitor to display the correct 1680x1050 resolution. He just installed Ubuntu because he was getting a blue screen with windows. If I can't help him fix this I'm sure he'll decide Ubuntu sucks and go right back to windows
I just bought a new system with NVIDIA GeForce 9100 integrated graphics. I used [URL] to install the NVIDIA drivers and utilities. If I use sax2 from the commandline in runlevel 3 (or from KDE) and select LCD 1680x1050 for the display, I am able to test and save the configuration. If I then init 5, KDE starts with the proper display settings. NVIDIA X Server Settings tool shows that I have a Gateway FPD2275W(which is what I have) with display dimensions 1680x1050.
I even have the option to change the refresh rate to 75. I never told the configuration tools what kind of monitor I have, so something detected it. The problem comes when I reboot. The display reverts to 1280x1024 which is not correctly proportioned for my display. The NVIDIA tool then shows some kind of generic monitor, and does not give me any options to configure the display correctly. My system has an AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 820 Processor.
I 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.
When I boot my computer I get this message: Warning Pc video resolution is out of range Change setting to recommended resolution 1280x1024 @60mh So I hit ctrl alt f1 I typed in Sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg Nothing happens. It's been very frustrating because with everything that I've looked up it says that it's suppose to guide me through something. I desperately need my computer for school.
Barebones installation. Manually start x with 'startx'. For some weird reason, the resolution randomly sets to either 1024x768 or 800x600. How do I permanently set a resolution?
I'm running 10.10. I have a Nvidia GTX 460. My actual resolution is only 1024x768. I can't get the native resolution (1280x1024). Nvidia-settings does not show this resolution. Google hasn't helped at all so far, and I have installed the Nvidia Driver.
I 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.
I was evaluating a live distro on a USB drive and the resolution got changed from my normal 1680X1050 to 1024X768. I normally run SuperOS (ubuntu derivative) at 1680X1050 on my 22" LCD flatscreen monitor. The users manual for the monitor says that the optimum resolution is 1680X1050. Now when I go to system, preferences, monitors the monitor is unknown and the highest resolution that is available is 1360X768. I have clicked on Detect Monitors but not sure anything is happening. I have went to system, administration, additional drivers but none show up. The OSD menu for the monitor is showing 1380X768. I haven't been able to make any changes to the setting. I push the button that is supposed to get me into the sub-menu but nothing happens.
I've installed Ubuntu 9.10-karmic koala-and all runs good except screen resolution. I don't have any graphic card, and with windows I never had problems...but with linux max resolution is 800x600. what can I do to set a resolution of 1024x760 or similar ?
I am new to Fedora.I install it using virtual box 3.0.8.Screen resolution can not go higher than 800 x 600. I am not familiar with vi.Is there any reconfiguring command just like in ubuntu?
I have 2 samsung lcd monitors same model....but the issue is after installing fedora 12 using one of the lcd monitors the resolution was perfect..after replacing with the other monitor i am not able to get the right resolution...even in display setting there is no option for that particular resolution..its seems to be strange..i am also not able to find the xorg.conf file in fedora.
I am running Fedora Core 10 x64-bit. My video card is Quadro NVS 285 and the driver installed correctly. However I cannot change resolution above 640 x 320. Even adding resolutions higher than 640 x 320 such as 1600 x 1200 does not work so I created a new xorg.conf with the nvidia tool
Below is my xorg.conf file:
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig # nvidia-xconfig: version 270.41.19 Mon May 16 23:52:12 PDT 2011 Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout0" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0

My monitor is a Priceton Graphics VF912. I cannot find ANY information on this monitor on the internet as far as its Horizontal Sync and Refresh Rate. I know it is capable of at least 60 Hz because I have an identical one attached to my windows machine.
Someone please help. I have tried everything: running the xconfigurator tool, the nvidia xconfig tool, maually editing the xorg.conf and adding the resolutions myself and nothing works. Also xranr does not detect my monitor's capability correctly either. My system is an HP xw4300 with all stock parts except hard drive which is 500 gb sata. Using the stock "nv" driver does not give me resolutions above 800 x 600
I'm new to Linux I used to use Ubuntu, when I wanted to change resolution in ubuntu just go to xorg.conf but don't have this in Fedora 11. My resolution is 800x600 right now btw.
I am running fedora 11 live cd on a work computer waiting on a new harddrive. Ran knoppix and Gos 3.1 fine. they start at 800x600 but can relatively easily be changed to much better but fedora likes this really low resolution on the monitor 640x480. In Gos I unhide screens and graphics and change it there but fedora doesn't seem to have this basic setting utility. Where is it in fedora or its equivilant. The basic monitor setting only offers the 1 option and even this box is not fully visible, ok and cancel are cut off at the bottom. Going back to Gos for now, though someone managed to crash it while surfing the net. mATX Via chipset p4m800 s3 unichrome graphics. linux loads vesa drivers instead of s3 unichrome drivers.
After booting, logging into KDE i click the System Setting>Display and the screen resolution becomes 1024x768(60.0Hz).I do this everytime to get this resolution.Is there any way to save the screen resolution? And nothing happens if i press "Print Screen SysRq" from keyboard, so can't get any screenshot. Why doesn't "Print Screen SysRq" work?
i recently installed fedora 11 i386 from fedora 8 i386. it was a fresh install. with 8 i had a 1024x768 res and my monitor is a 15.4" Polaroid LCD tv that has a max res of 1280x800. when i goto display and try to change the res it only shows 800x600 and below.
I seem to have a "small" problem with this error that I am given when try to update my Fedora 11 install using the command:
Code: yum update The error reads:
Code: Missing Dependency: gnome-media = 2.27.91-1.fc11 is needed by package gnome-media-libs-2.27.91-1.fc11.i586 (installed) I have tried to the run the command: yum-complete-transaction but that has not bore any progress.
I have no other gripes but one minor problem; After the boot, the KDE4 desktop starts with a resolution of 1152x864 instead of 1280x1024 selected at display settings. Strangely, it seems to activate the correct resolution instantly when I enter the display settings menu that shows the intended resolution (no need to apply anything). Going to the settings menu is a bit bothersome after every boot.
While trying to implement some of the suggestions in the fedora 12 common problems (Intel Graphics)I discovered I cannot get the resolution correct using a xorg.conf file . Here is the file# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display
I installed Fedora 12 into a virtual Machine (using virtualbox). Everything was perfect but the screen resolution is only 800*600. I cannot read the text fine and work is impossible.I searched already other posts but i couldn't find anything helpful.How can i set the resolution at least at ca 1280*1024?
MY current screen resolution is 1200X800 but from my monitor manual I can see that it support these resolution also 1366X768, 1280X960, 1280X1024 but there is no such option to change in my fedora 12. How can I change that?
