General :: Use A Framebuffer And Using "vga=791" (1024x768) In Grub The Monitor Turns Itself Off?
Sep 11, 2010
When booting up the linux distro everything boots up fine. However the linux terminal shows "-Bash:" and doesn't show the current directory. This may be fine for some people but I need to know what directory I am working in and having it displayed would make things a LOT easier.
Sadly though I can't find any useful information about doing this.I found something like "PS1=w" but that doesn't do anything at all. Oh yeah and I don't have a .bashrc nor a /etc/bashrc for some reason. Also when trying to use a framebuffer and using "vga=791" (1024x768) in grub the monitor turns itself off. This applies if I set vga to anything. I believe I compiled framebuffer support in the kernel but I am not 100% sure so if you believe that is the problem then I will double check. That would require redownloading the source again and networking hasn't been set up yet so.
Also what packages does "iwconfig", "ifconfig", and "dhcpcd" come in? Those are the tools I commonly used to connect to my wireless internet but they are not present in the linux distro.

I am using 11.4 32 bit Gnome. It is working fine expect high CPU usage. Specially by X-ORG. I am running this on my old PC with core2duo, Intel motherboard DG31PR, Integrated Intel GMA 3100 Graphics(intel G31 Exprss chipset) , 3 GB RAM I went to Hardware information in YAST and found some discrepancies.
1. desktop board is listed as D945GTP instead of DG31PR
2. in framebuffer 1440 X 900 is not listed which is my monitor resolution
3. BIOS info has no vendor name

I gave up on ubuntu few months ago and now I'm giving it one more chance since I am already sick of Vista. Okay, I researched all over google for specific problem and I think there are few possible problems such as not recognizing Monitor (Polaroid 1911-TLXB) or missing driver (Intel 82G33/G31). I have DELL Inspiron 530. Im stuck with 800x600. I did try SYSTEM>ADMINISTRATION>Hardware Drivers and it searched and found NOTHING.

FC13. In Screensaver, I've made sure no screensaver is selected. In Power Management, PowerDevil is unchecked, profile is set to "performance" and that profile is set to never dim the screen. In fact, just to be sure, I edited all the other unselected profiles to not dim the screen. I've done this as a user, and I've done this as root. My monitor still gets turned off at the 10 minutes mark (I used a stopwatch).
Site search only turned up this thread, but I'm using kde not gnome, and I can't locate a screensaver daemon to kill.

I've read many posts about other people having this issue and I can't seem to find one that is the same problem I am having. I'm totally new to ubuntu and linux as well for that matter, Basically I wanted to give linux a try and started doing some research and liked everything I read about ubuntu. I went to the website and used the wubi (I think that was what it was called) to install ubuntu. Now when I boot my computer it asks me which operating system I would like to use. I navigate to ubuntu and press enter and it starts up with no problems what so ever.
At first I was really surprised with how easy the installation was and how great everything was going, however. After looking around for about 10 minutes, the screen abruptly went black and then my monitor had a small blue box on it with "No input" on it before the light went from blue to orange. I tried hitting every combination of keys I could think of and in the end had to do a hard restart.
Long story short. every time I use ubuntu my monitor shuts off after about 10-20 minutes, regardless of what activity I am doing. I've tried going to /apps/gnome-power-manager/timeout/ to make sure that sleep_display_ac was set to 0 (it was), I've turned off power management using the power manger under preferences. No matter what I have tried, it continues to be a problem.

The monitor is a dell 2009 w (16:10 with around 1680x1050 IIRC) I have a fujitsu desktop with the intel core i5 CPU. the crux is the i5 has an integrated GPU. hwinfo says 'clarkdale integrated graphics controller' and yast tells me the same too, knowing the monitor model as well (with correct resolution) So we have an intel GPU ... but the resolution of the kde desktop is always the 1024x768. sax2 do not accept any other resolutions - he knows only threee, one larger at 1280x1024. But even if i try to turn it on he falls back to 1024x768. this is independed from runlevel 3 or 5. the /etx/X11/xorg.conf knows the monitor and the two modes 1024 and 1680 - but everyhwere else it seems that it is unknown, using default vesa mode... the gfx tools seem to ignore the ability of the higher resolution.

the problem is: my monitor turns off when I want to install ubuntu! t's really pissing me off right now.Explanation:right now, I'm using Ubuntu 9.10, and I want to installUbuntu 10.04, so I made a bootable usb, and i booted my computeron this usb. so far, there's nothing going wrong. First, I had to select a language for Ubuntu, so I did that.After that, I had to choose want i want to do with ubuntu,so I selected (of course) "install Ubuntu".Then i got the loading screen, and after a short time,suddenly my monitor turns off

I have just installed an ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro (AGP) in my tower, which is running Ubuntu 10.04. I installed the fglrx driver via Jockey, and ran 'aticonfig --initial', with no errors. Now, when I boot, it gets as far as the plymouth splash screen, and the display turns off, and the power light flashes on and off. If I boot in failsafe and use the backed up confguration, it works fine again. The monitor I am using is quite an old one - a 17" CRT with maximum resolution of 1152x864. I do not know the vendor.
Here is the output of xorg.conf
Quote:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "aticonfig Layout"
Screen 0 "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0

I am looking for a generic vesa driver xorg.conf file that will work with most any 1024x768 monitor.
This is for a network appliance and our field people have many different type of monitors.
This product will mostly be used "headless" but sometimes our field people will plug in a monitor.
The intel driver will not even start x without a monitor plugged in so I found it necessary to go to the vesa driver.

My VLC player blocks screensaver while playing, but my monitor still turns off when watching for some time. I did a few searches, but I don't see any good keywords so I'm starting a new thread.

suspend has always worked fine with 11.04 and now it stopped working a few days ago. How can I figure out what is going on? The display turns off but the computer never turns off and the only way to bring it back is to hold the power button down and then start it back up.

After making and update my Karmic Koala and trying to set up lamp through tasksell, i have rebooted my notebook. Then the ubuntu logo was displayied and i get an"Ubuntu is eunnung in low graphics mode"(EE) open /dev/fe0: No such file or dierctory.i have done some googling and figured that it has most likely to do with ubuntu tryin to using frame buffer wrongly.

I have a disturbing problem with my monitor which goes to sleep (or ??) after few minutes if my comp is not used and most of the time I have to restart my comp.I disabled everything in Powersave , but nothing. I did have that problem in previous versions of SUSE, but somehow, I solved that. I cant remember what I did then.

I hope this is not a totally ridiculous question. I use putty often to remotely connect to my laptop at home. I recently learned about the Linux framebuffer, and was curious if there was a tool like putty that would let me remotely connect to my laptop but use the /dev/fb0 device for forwarding graphics. Sort of like a vnc or X11 forwarding, but instead of using X, gdm, kdm etc. we use the framebuffer.

So I have a resolution problem. Before posting here, I've checked many MANY forums for similar issues, handpicking certain techniques and trying each. Sometimes they worked, and then my problem came back.
Distro: Fedora 14
Monitor: emachines 18.5" E181HV
GPU: Nvidia GeForce 8800GT
resolution: 1360x768
My problem is that the resolution will never stretch past 1024x768. I have the image of my desktop in the middle part of the screen, with black sections on either side. Here is a list of things that I've already done or tried:
Install Nvidia drivers
disable Nouveau via grub.conf
use xrandr to modify xorg.conf and add the resolution
different cable
different DVI converter
One day, I logged into my Fedora boot, and after a week of frustration, the issue decided to fix itself. So I continued on, using Fedora and planning on a permanent switch from Windows. I log back over to Windows to play some games and whatnot (I'm not a fan of how Wine handles some games). I then log back to Fedora, and the issue is back. The resolution is messed up again.I've since removed that partition from my drive, as I've reached my wits end with troubleshooting. My linux expert friend tells me it may be that my monitor is just not good enough, or is not sending/receiving the proper EID signature, thus will not accept the resolution, or something along those lines.

I like to use rdesktop at resolution 1024x768. But without adding the parameter "-g 1024x768", it always connects me via 800x600. Is there a way to change the default value to be 1024x768 so I don't have to keep telling the system?

My monitor recent died and I'm using an old CRT as a replacement for now. I get an error when Ubuntu starts saying it could not find a framebuffer compatible device. It then gives me the option to boot into low res mode which I accept. Once I login, the display actually looks fine, but I would like to get rid of the error message.Anyone know how to remove framebuffer usage from the bootup process? A text display is fine. I looked in my xorg.conf, but I didn't find anything that I could tinker with.

I installed Centos5.2 and have created 1 instance so far. It all works great, but when I created the new instance (using command line from ssh and "virt-install") it gave a message saying probing for video, not found, assuming headless and on I went with the install.
But now I have need for a framebuffer because I have a JBOSS/Java Captcha routine which throws an error if it can't use the X11 libraries or some such (I've resolved this before on a headless Amazon instance once by just running "Xorg"). But I can't run Xorg on my DomU because it can't find the fb device!
So, I searched around and did a makedev -d /dev/fb to create it, but it still doesn't work, because, I assume, the hardware isn't found anywhere. So... how do I get Xorg to work in this case? Or do I need to re-do the virt install and somehow force it to find video hardware (but how?)
Here is some salient output:
root@virty{/etc/X11}: uname -a
Linux virty 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5xen #1 SMP Tue Dec 16 12:26:32 EST 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
root@domU{/etc/X11}: uname -a

I have ad724 chip from analog devices that converts VGA signal to composite video, but it requires input in PAL standart. Is it possible to change framebuffer resolution and synchronisation to achive PAL on RGB output? I have try to change this using fbset but there is no change of resolution. Grub runs kernel with framebuffer of 640x480 resolution and i'm able to watch videos using mplayer on cli ubuntu version, but i have problems with setting it up to PAL.Why fbset does not affect to current display?
PS. I have Intel Atom CPU with intel integrated graphics (maybe problem is here?)

I've just installed Slackware 13.37 x64.Right now, everything is fine! All hardware OK, sound OK, Network/WiFi OK, nVIDIA Proprietary drivers OK, KDE Composite OK, Desktop effects OK.But when initializing, the messages pass very slow!My lilo framebuffer settings are 1024x768x64 (Code 791, 317 in Hex), my Graphics card is an nVIDIA GeForce 9100 M G (256Mb), but yet, I can see it refreshing like an image loading in 56Kbps connection.
I really would like to use framebuffer during boot (Oh, come on... The little penguin is kinda neat :-), so I'll ask... Is there a way to use my graphic driver in framebuffer, or make it faster?

Up through Slackware 13.0 I used xorg.conf without trouble. On Slackware 13.1 I am caught between two unacceptable alternatives. If I don't use xorg.conf at all I can't adjust the screen density between e.g., 640 x 480 and 1024 x 768 by hitting <ctl><alt>+ or <ctl<alt>- If I use the same xorg.conf that I have used for years I gain the above facility but when I go to a console session via <ctl><alt>F1 the monitor complains that it is being fed bad information. If I can't resolve this conflict I will have to retreat to Slackware 13.0.

I've installed Ubuntu Server on an old computer and I want it to autoboot as it is intended to be a headless box.I have installed the desktop packages to allow me to use FreeNX.URL]Unfortunately I've already made these changes and it still seems to need a monitor before it will show the boot menu and a keyboard to press enter on the first option.If I restart from within the gnome desktop, it will reboot perfectly. If I use shutdown -r now, shutdown -s now or shutdown -h now and then power it on again, it will display the GRUB boot menu without automatically booting.

I'm using 11.04 and when I boot I see post messages and then when it gets to grub I just see black screen with a monitor timing not supported issue. I have a geforce 6100 nforce 405 video card with a Dell U2311H monitor. It does boot to the desktop eventually, and everything from there on works as expected.

I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 in text mode on a VIA EPIA-M motherboard with VT8623 VGA that gives a distorted screen when using the framebuffer. I used to be able to disable the framebuffer during installation by passing debian-installer/framebuffer=false to the kernel, and the screen would be fine. However, with Ubuntu 10.04, I still get a distorted screen even with debian-installer/framebuffer=false.

Ubuntu 10.10 - Framebuffer in Console - links2
I've searched and searched and I cannot find the answer. I had links2 -g working in framebuffer in the last release, but in Ubuntu 10.10, I cannot get it to work.
Problem: I do NOT have any framebuffers. /dev/fb0 etc.
I have changed my console font size in grub2 to 640x480 and it works perfectly.
I believe I have all the required framebuffer files and libraries (libs) installed, yet I do NOT have any /dev/fb0 etc.
