General :: Laptop's Screen Resolution Changes After Boot?
Jun 2, 2011
Well, this has happened numerous times before when I had other distros, Ubuntu, Mint,and even Fedora, and then it didn't bother me because I had a GUI and a Desktop Manager, but now it's become a bit of a problem. I can read it okay, but I'd like to have it full resolution again. I'll post a link below

Not easy to see what I typed, but I've tried adding "vga=773" to my kernel line but it didn't help. What do I do? *I hope I'm not being incoherent*

I am getting a screen resolution of 1280x1024 on my laptop, but I sometimes like the lower resolutions, which are unaccessible via the Screen Resolution program.

I have installed Debian 504 on an old Toshiba Satellite laptop with 192mb of memory. Install is fine, boots up etc ok.The screen resolution is limited to 800 x 600 (not filling the whole screen)"Screen Resolution Properties" shows 640 x 480 and 800 x 600 as the only 2 options.How can I get a bigger resolution please?

I just installed the latest version of Ubuntu on my Toshiba Sattelite A25-207 laptop. I totally erased my previous Windows XP OS and everything else. Everything is great, execept the screen resolution. The resolution is set at 800 x 600 and I know that my screen can handle bigger. How do I change this?
I am totally new to Ubuntu and I have no idea how to play with code.

Firstly when I first installed Ubuntu on my machine, the bootscreen logo was small and high resolution, and it looked nice, however as I started using Ubuntu I must have done something for it to change to large and low resolution.
I try the live cd again and that one is normal, so it must be my settings.. and also when I am shutting down, the screen shows some messages I can't read because it's kind of fast, and the messages are kind of low res too.

I just want to know how to adjust the screen resolution of my boot up screen. My PCs maximum resolution is 1366x768 but I think my boot up screen only uses 600x400. I doesn't look nice for me. The logo of Kubuntu is too big and the colors are not the true colors of the Kubuntu Boot up screen.

The odd time I boot my laptop the screen resolution will change to 1024x768 and I would have to change it back to 1200x800. Not only that but I would have to move all the applets on the panel, to where they were.
This has been happening since I've first installed Ubuntu 7.10 and continues to 10.04.
Here's some information about my screen. sudo lshw -C video:
Code:
*-display:0

I am using FC10. how do I change the resolution of the "Boot Up" screen? My monitor is 1024x768 capable but my boot screen is 1280x1024. I don't get anything until it finally loads X Windows. When my machine is booting up I cannot see the screen because my monitor can't handle it. When I hook it up to my other monitor (1280x1024 capable) I can see the boot up screen. I'd like to be able to see the boot screen in case there are any errors I need to se. How do I change it?

I tried to fix splash screen resolution on boot up in 10.04 from instructions I found on the net. I updated lines in grub. Now when I boot I see the dual boot menu but hit linux i just get a black screen. I can't get into my system from there.

Unfortunately my experience in the Unix* based world up to this point has only been using web servers and administrating them, no GUI experience of any kind so I am completely unfamiliar with the setup and entire usage of Xorg or any other Window manager at this point. The issue I am having is with the screen resolutions I am being allowed to chose for my Dell Studio 1535 running Fedora Core 13 and the KDE 4 desktop GUI, thus my issue since I am not really familiar with how to run a Unix* based GUI in the first place.
The basic information, if there is more needed just advise what and what command gathers that info (or what conf/log I should look into in order to find it). Laptop is a Dell Studio 1535 Video is the Mobile Intel GMA X3100 ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics. LCD interface is the LVDS.
So far it seems to give me modes for 1024x768 and on down, nothing above this. I believe I am supposed to use the radeon driver being that is the type of card it is but every time I change the xorg.conf file to use this instead of vesa the system wont get past the loading screen anymore upon reboot and nor can I seem to find a way to bring up a command line so I can hit up the Xorg.0.log to see what is wrong or change the xorg.conf file back to the original driver it had listed.
I am going to assume this is a missing driver or something else it hangs on but without being able to get access back to the system and having to rebuild it again (re-install via live CD) I am basically out of luck at this time. Sorry for the rather poor post but I do hope to receive some basic directions on where to go from here with this issue

I 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.

I've just installed 10.04 on my Dell Latitude D830 with a NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M; upon booting Ubuntu asked me to install the official NVIDIA driver (latest) so I went ahead and installed it, now the boot splash screen is in about 640x480/800x600 rather than the usual 1920x1200 it was when I first booted.

I have just bought a new Acer 23" 1920x1080 flatscreen. I used to have an old fashioned 1280x1024 flatscreen.Now the problem is, every single time when I log on Ubuntu resets my screen res. to 1280x1024. So every time I have to use the Nvidia Settings to set my screen res to 1920x1080 and every time I have to place my panel widgets back in the right place and order, because of that, which is quite annoying.GDM has no problems though, it always displays in the right resolution.I use a Nvidia GeForce 6200 graphics card and the nvidia-current driver on Ubuntu 10.04 i386. I cannot use the Gnome monitors manager to set my resolution. Every time it sends me to Nvidia Settings.This is my Xorg.conf;
Code:
# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings
# nvidia-settings: version 1.0 (buildd@palmer) Fri Apr 9 10:35:18 UTC 2010

i changed the boot up resolution in the boot up loader to 1366*768 (native res of my monitor) the boot option is still set to quiet splash however, instead of showing the progress bar, it would now always display the complete boot up log ( the list of starting services and such) i then manually changed the boot option from to 1024*768 at boot loader screen, and teh splash would show up, but then on next boot up if i stick with 1366*768, it doesnt work again

I installed Ubuntu 10.10 to dual boot alongside Windows 7 on a Dell Inspiron. This worked fine and after restarting it seemed to be working normally, after the first boot into windows though when I tried to restart the laptop again I just get a blank screen with a blinking cursor in the top left instead of the grub screen.I'm still able to boot the LiveCD fine and tried to reinstall Ubuntu but the exact same thing happened? Anyone know what's going on/how to fix this?

My alienware laptop doesn't boot sometimes to the login screen. It doesn't move on from kubuntu screen (the one with the animated dots). This happens only sometimes. When this happens if I press the power button once,the dots start moving and machine shuts down. I also have a nvidia card and don't know if the bug has been sorted where it doesn't show proper resolution during the kubuntu dots screen.

I recently installed Debian Linux (Lenny, but I used a backpost kernel) A couple months ago, I dropped my laptop and it has GIANT cracks in it so that it is nearly impossible to see most of the screen. I've managed to work around it by hooking it up to my TV screen, but now that I've installed debian, and am trying to use bash as much as possible, I wonder if it would be possible to tell debian not to use any of the unusable screen. Is there a way to set this up? It's an Acer Aspire One 150 ZG5

I decided to update all the software on my computer. Fortunately, it upgraded kernel version 3.14 to 3.16. I was happy to learn that suspend now worked on my laptop by calling pm-suspend, but it did not worked by closing the lid. So I search and found on debian's website that installing systemd and adding some config lines in /etc/systemd/logind.conf would sove the issue. So I followed the procedure and did like instructed, to end up with a computer that boots on black screen.
The last verbrose line I see on boot up is "kvm disabled by bios" and then it shutdown down the screen. The computer works, as I can login and shutdown by doing those operation blindly.
I tried removing systemd but it still does not work. If I use the old kernel 3.14 I can boot without any problem, but if I use kernel 3.16, I boot to a black screen. I remember successfully booting in 3.16 before installing systemd.

I'd like a distribution with KDE.
I've tried Kubuntu, but I don't get any higher screen resolution than 640*480. The graphics adapter that seems to get me in trouble is an Intel based one.
I'm open to other OS'es that uses KDE -I just need to be able to use Kdenlive.

I've just upgraded from Debian Lenny to Squeeze. It didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped, one of the casualties being the proprietary nvidia driver I had previously installed. So I fixed that using the 'Debian way' rather than NVIDIA's installer, and that is now all fine. So far so good. However, when I boot up, pre starting X, my screen is a much lower resolution than it used to be (640x480, I think). Really chunky and ugly as it runs through the start up scripts. I assume that somewhere early in the startup scripts the nvidia driver is being loaded and set to a low resolution. Can someone advise me where this might be, and what to look for? Am I on the right track? I stress that this is before X is started. Once X has started the screen resolution is as I want.

Have just installed my frist linux os and the screen has a big black border around it. Set the res on install to 1024x768 & this is displayed in display settings. If I run xrandr in a shell tool it only shows 640x480 available.xorg.conf has "1024x768" "800x600" & "640x480" available.Have search the web but nothing I've found works.

i have been searching for the past few days on how to do this i have found many articles all telling me slightly different ways of doing so but none have worked. the monitor i am using displays at 1680x1050@60Hz however most access will be from a laptop running at 1366x768 through VNC i have the VNC working thats not a problem my current problem is that when i turn it on the screen defaults to 1600x1200@60Hz when i go to System>Preferences>Screen Resolution the options i get are 1600x1200, 1280x1200,1024x768, 800x600, 640x480 however when i change to something other than 1600x1200 the refresh rate changes to 85Hz and cannot be displayed by my monitor so i have to wait for it to default back, not that i want to change it to any of those in the long term /etc/X11/xorg.conf looks like this (i have only edited the Modes line)

I just installed 64 bit Debian 6 (Squeeze), and the O/S will not identify my monitor or allow me to set screen resolutions higher than 800 X 600.
I had the same problem in Debian 5, and remedied it by editing the xorg.conf file in the X11 folder in the /etc subdirectory. Worked like a charm.
Debian 6, however, has no such conf. file, and the Debian installation notes at Debian Wiki says Debian no longer uses Xorg as a video driver.
I am, therefore, completely lost.
