it will NEVER let me change the screen resolution to 1440x900. It never gives me the option. I then spend hours looking for fixes, making Xconf files and editing them to no avail. The same is true for Fedora 15 (Beta). what can i do to get the 1440x900 option in my "Display" list in Fedora.

New install of 5.4 and I have a dell S1909W display that runs 1440x900. I don't run a windowed environment and only use CLI. I am only getting 25 lines per screen with huge text and I need to set the resolution so I can actually work :) I tried adding vga=866 to my /boot/grub/menu.lst file at the end of the kernel line but nothing changes after reboot.

Just installed F11. Been totally frustrated all day and all night with resolutions and DNS bugs. I installed system-config-display so I can get my video working properly. However, my monitor says it's out of range only on the login screen. How can I change the resolution for the login screen to match that of my working environment?

What is the recommended way to change the screen resolution?
so I've finally told myself i'd be better off with ubuntu instead of windows. And now I'm seeing I've made the wrong decision. I've spent 4 hours searching the web about how to get the 1440x900, tried some of the solutions and nothing worked. The resolution doesnt show up in the nvidia control panel. I tried somehow editing xorg.conf which just messed everything up so i had to put it in the default state..
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have tried this with many different configurations, however, I believe that the scroll bar that shows the progress of the boot is preventing it from changing successfully. I don't know how to switch it off. X is not installed. No gui, only tui.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to use GRUB2 in graphical mode with 1440x900 resolution, but the result is always garbled nonsense: the highest resolution I can get is 1280x800.
Word is from googling that long as vbeinfo lists a resolution, GRUB2 can use it. This doesn't seem to be true: vbeinfo says that 1440x900 is available but it doesn't work.
Testing it from the GRUB2 command line:
set gxfmode=1440x900
terminal_output gfxterm
# -> garbled nonsense
# back to trusty 640x480
terminal_output console

I've been loitering over my resolution and nvidia xserver settings for about 2 days now, fiddling with xorg.conf and breaking ubuntu in the process trying to get my resolution at it's native settings. I've searched through many forums and none of them have solved my problem. Its maximum resolution is 1360x768, which isn't enough. It should be 1440x900. I have tried adding custom modes to the xorg.conf file and it wouldn't work. I don't know what's going on. Also here is my xorg.conf since I saved the nvidia settings to it...

I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my Dell Latitude D610 (with ATI X300 graphics card) and am trying to set the default resolution to 1440x900 for my Samsung Syncmaster 931 monitor. I have installed "fglrx" and when I run "xrandr -q" I get the following information.
Code:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1440 x 1440

After having problems with an onboard graphics chipset I've just installed an ATI Radeon 128Mb 9000 Pro AGP graphics card into my old computer... The problem is that I can't get it to use 1440x900 resolution that my LG L194WT (Ubuntu won't detect it) requires and the highest I can select is 1360x768 and that looks all wrong
lspci gives:

My monitor's dvi jack is damaged so my nvidia geforce 210 does not recognise the supported resolutions correctly.
result: while it actually can support upto 1440x900, the highest available resolution is 1360x768.
While on windows, i used the nvidia utility to add the custom resolution and everything was nice.
On ubuntu 10.04, i haven't found a way to do that yet. yes, i searched forums, tried a couple of things with the xorg.conf file and lxrandr, etc. but to no avail.
I did manage to get the resolution listed in ubuntu's own display manager, and it shows 1440x900, but it doesn't apply when i hit 'apply'.
The nvidia settings manager does not show the resolution.
I installed Ubuntu 10.10 along side windows 7, It works flawlessly accept for one issue: no widescreen resolution (1440x900).I have some CIBOX screen and XFX HD 6850.

How can I change screen resolution?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm very new to Ubuntu and have 9.04 running on a Sony Vaio, don't know what graphics card I have. My screen resolution doesn't have an option higher than 800x600, so everything looks super zoomed in. Other threads tell me to edit xorg.conf, which I did (probably incorrectly). The result was the computer had mega problems when I restarted it, and when it finally got back to the desktop it didn't give me any other options for screen resolution. Also it says I'm in low graphics mode.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded my desktop pc from 10.04 to 10.10 and ran into a tad of trouble. After I attempted to login from the GDM, something caused the system to crash and return to the GDM. So, I got my laptop out, did some googling, and decided to delete ~/.config/monitors.xml to try and reset the resolution. That got me to the Desktop, at which point I was greeted by more display issues.
The point at which the computer normally goes idle seems to crash and return it to the GDM as well. Needless to say, I disabled the idling/password prompt setting to prevent crashes every five minutes. Anyway, the prevailing problem is that I can't change the resolution itself -- as that seems to cause the same issue.
I've recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 on an old Dell computer I have. Everything seems to work fine, but I can't seem to change the screen resolution. In the monitor Preferences it says Monitor:Unknown. It's stuck on 1600x1200 and I'd like it to be closer to 1024x768
I've tried changing the xorg.conf file to no avail. I've been browsing for 3 days now looking for a solution.
[URL] These are my specs if it helps any, ignore the windows installation info because I have it installed alongside ubuntu.
I cannot get my screen resolution to change from 1600x1200. This is a new install of Ubuntu 10.10 and the desired option ( 1024x768 ) is listed under System/Preferences/Monitors. Changing the resolution and clicking Apply results in a screen refresh, but the resolution remains at 1600x1200.
I have gone through just about every tutorial and thread I can find, but nothing works. Here is some relevant information I have gathered code...

The OS is not recognizing the fact the laptop can do 1024x768. I've been searching the net for a few hours to fix the problem and I'm not getting anywhere.
