OpenSUSE :: Can't Change The Resolution Beyond 1024x768 On Dell Latitude D600 Running 11.2

Feb 25, 2010

I can't change the resolution beyond 1024x768 on my Dell Latitude D600 running 11.2. It's got a Radeon Mobility 9000. The only fixes I've seen involve the Intel 915 chipset not this one. I've changed it in sax but even though it says it should be 1400x1050 it remains at 1024x768.

Fedora Installation :: Live Cd Install On Dell Latitude D600 ?

Mar 30, 2010

Just did a fresh install of F12 on the D600, and a couple of problems. The network was working during the install, but after does not see ethernet nor wireless.

The only straying I did from a default install was to manually create partitions, making one for swap and the rest is / on ext4. Seemed fine installing and booting.

Also the touchpad and mouse settings are messed up, buttons reversed, click events from the touchpad showing "clickdown" but not acting as if the click was released.

ONE BIG COMPLAINT: I see selinux doesn't come with an easy way to disable. How is it disabled with F12?

For now I'm in a hurry, so I'm going back to F11 - past OS installing and booting ok include Ubuntu 8.04, 9.10, F5, F7, F9, F10 and XP to name a few.

Hardware :: Ethernet Not Detected: Debian Lenny On Dell Latitude D600 Laptop

Mar 18, 2011

Ethernet is not detected with the following setup:

OS: Debian Lenny
Laptop: Dell Latitude D600
Ethernet adapter: Broadcom 57xx Gigabit Integrated Controller
Wifi adapter: Broadcom BCM4309 802.11a/b/g

Have done the following troubleshooting suggestions from around the www:

LAN controller is enabled in BIOS
dmesg | grep eth0 returns nothing
lspci -v | grep -i net shows wifi adapter but no ethernet adapter
ifconfig -a does not show eth0
ifconfig eth0 up confirms ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
Have done lsmod, but not sure what I should be looking for.

I would post lspci, dmesg or any other output, but as the adapter is not being detected, I have no network/internet connection from that laptop, have only one other Windows based (at this stage) laptop that I am using to write this message, and so would have to type out the output manually.Adapter indicators are both on when laptop is powered up. Am unsure if the ethernet adapter has somehow gone to sleep, and if so, unsure how to wake it.Perhaps the ethernet adapter is defective, but am hoping to confirm this before looking for a workaround/replacement.

Fedora Installation :: Get F12 Running On My Dell D600 Laptop?

Nov 21, 2009

i am trying to get F12 running on my Dell D600 laptop and am having some SERIOUS networking issues.

i had F11 running, but the upgrade process was FUBAR'd and doesn't work so i had to do a clean installation. upon finishing that, i now have no network connectivity.

i try connecting an ethernet cable to eth0 (LAN connection), no connection. i try connecting to my wireless network using wlan0, no connection

i turn off network manager, try adding them manually same thing.

how the frick do i get this thing to connect to the world?

Edit: p.s. the only connection that i've been able to get so far is some halfway connection to my wireless, but it puts me on the 10.x.x.x subnet, and my entire internal network is on 192.168.1.x.

Edit: one other thing, every time i make changes and reboot it tells me to log into system-config-network as root and make further changes

General :: Dell Latitude C840 Screen Resolution - Slackware

Oct 19, 2010

I have a Dell Latitude C840 with a nVidia GeForce4 440 Go card and the screen is reported to go to 1600x1200, 32 bpp on Wikipedia. But I am unable to choose that resolution in Slackware. last time i changed the resolution to a higher one i needed to edit the xorg.conf, and change the HorizSync setting to match the monitor. but im unable to find the specifications on the screen for the C840. is there another way of doing this ? mabye a nVidia driver or something ?

Code:
# Monitor section
# Any number of monitor sections may be present
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "My Monitor"
# HorizSync is in kHz unless units are specified.
# HorizSync may be a comma separated list of discrete values, or a comma separated list of ranges of values.
# NOTE: THE VALUES HERE ARE EXAMPLES ONLY. REFER TO YOUR MONITOR'S USER MANUAL FOR THE CORRECT NUMBERS.
HorizSync 31.5 - 50.0

# HorizSync30-64 # multisync
# HorizSync31.5, 35.2 # multiple fixed sync frequencies
# HorizSync15-25, 30-50 # multiple ranges of sync frequencies
# VertRefresh is in Hz unless units are specified.
# VertRefresh may be a comma separated list of discrete values, or a comma separated list of ranges of values.

Ubuntu Installation :: Manual Partition Failed On D600 Latitude

Jan 25, 2011

I have installed a dozen dual boot XP / Ubuntu boxes, however this one has me stumped. After the installation failed in the partitioning phase I tried manually partitioning which also failed. Then I went to using a Gparted LiveCD. I can resize the NTFS partition fine each time rebooting in XP and it is OK. However when I shrink the NTFS then try to add an ext4 (or ext3) right after the NTFS it acts like it is working, then when it says "complete" the disk disappears out of Gparted and it shows no devices. If I reboot into the LiveCD it shows a blank second partition, if I try to format it in ext4 I get the exact same results. If I go to Windows it will show an unknown healthy partition. If I grow the NTFS back to the full 60Gb it seems to work fine. It just won't create a second primary ext4 partition.

Debian Multimedia :: Distorted Resolution - Only Running At 1024x768 ?

Oct 1, 2010

I recently installed Debian 5.0 (Lenny) on a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop. I have been banging my head trying to figure out why my laptop display (15.6" optimum resolution 1366x768) is only running at 1024x768. This was not a problem in Ubuntu even as far back as 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) which came pre-installed.

I am running kernel 2.6.32 (from Backports) to get WiFi to work and it still hasn't remedied the video oddities.

How do I either:

1) Letterbox the 1024x768 so that it isn't distorted?

or, more preferably,

2) Display in the full 1366x768?

My video card is:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)

I also have the xserver-xorg-video-intel driver from the stable repositories installed.

Ubuntu Installation :: Change Resolution To 1024x768?

Aug 12, 2010

I'm trying to use the Xubuntu-based BitDefender Rescue Disk, and having an issue. Posting in their forum didn't return anything, so I figured I should ask here next.

Using the default settings, the Rescue Disk starts in 800x600 and complains that the resolution is too low to run the app in graphic mode.

FYI, this servers + monitor run Windows just fine in 1024x768 @ 75Hz, and even higher.

I tried adding "screen=1024x768" to the command-line, to no avail.

FWIW, the default includes "vga=791" but I don't know what it means.

If someone had the same issue, how can I set the resolution to something higher so I can run BitDefender in graphic mode?

Ubuntu :: 10.04 Can't Change Video Resolution To 1024x768?

Aug 22, 2010

I can't change the video resolution for Intel 82740 (i740) video card.I'm new to Ubuntu 10.04, as I've just installed it and I have a problem with video settings.I can't change video resolution for my video adapter. I can only choose between 800x600, 640x480,400x300... not 1024x768 for example.No restricted or proprietary drivers...I used Knoppix 5.1.1 Live CD and it automatically set the resolution to 1024x768.I also used Puppy linux 5.1 Live CD and it had a configuration program which also utilised 1024x768.If these versions of linux can utilise the 1024x768 resolution, why can't Ubuntu 10.04

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Monitor - Resolution Of The Kde Desktop Is Always The 1024x768

Jun 15, 2010

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.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: 11.2 Nvidia Video - Cannot Get Anything Besides 1024x768 Or 800x600 Resolution

Jan 16, 2010

I'm having a real fight with an Nvidia 6100 video under 11.2. I cannot get anything besides 1024x768 or 800x600 resolution with any technique besides doing an upgrade installation over an existing 11.1 system. I want 1440x900 for this wide screen LCD and that works with the upgrade install but that gets me into other problems with versions and other stuff - not a desireable choice.

OK. I know that the Nvidia driver (190.53) works as all is well under the upgrade. When I do a totally clean installation or a clean install with the existing /home I get a default 1024x768. If I use sax2 to try and change it one of two things happens: the change is ignored or I drop to 800x600 and the ball game is over: I'm stuck there, period. Other than a couple of commented-out lines, xorg.conf is the same as it was or 11.1 (and back to 10.1 after allowing for version changes) after running sax2 but even nvidia-settings won't give anything beyond 1024x768 if I try and use that.

I've been through the how-to stuff and back messages here but I'll be darned if I can force the desired 1440x900. I had a similar issue with 10.2 or so where the only way to get it right the first time was to set the desired resolution to 1440x900 during the hardware setup during the installation but that seems to have disappeared along with xorg.conf which only appears after running sax2. I can't even use the manual diting tricks in xorg.conf I've had to use with some cards - it seems to be completely ignored and I can't see any real problem with it anyway once sax2 builds it. On a couple of machines with later version of the Nvidia video everything is working as expected, at least with GF 6800 and higher video.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Screen Settings Does Not Appear A Resolution Higher Than 1024x768

Recently I have acquired 2-port KVM switch. When the monitor is connected through this KVM in Windows 7 resolution is properly detected - 1280x1024. When I go under Linux (openSUSE 11.4 with KDE, nVidia 260.19.44) there is a problem with the resolution. In the screen settings does not appear a resolution higher than 1024x768. How do I set the desired resolution in Linux?

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.2 64bit On Dell Latitude E6410 I7 Nvidia VNS 3100M - Get A Black Screen

May 9, 2010

I'm trying to install OpenSuse 11.2 64bit on a new Dell Latitude E6410 notebook. This is the Intel i7 processor with 8 Gb of RAM and Nvidia NVS 3100M graphics. I can boot from my 64bit installer DVD, but once I choose either Live version, to test it out, or just go for Install, after the first selection screen where I can change the default video at the bottom, I just get a black screen, no video.

I can't find any info on installing Suse on this notebook, (I think its only be available for a couple of weeks now). What do I do to get the screen to show me the graphical installer, Or how do I make the KDE Live version run from the 64bit DVD. I also tried the 32bit version DVD, but it wouldn't give graphics either, so it seems like an X issue.

OpenSUSE Wireless :: Dell Latitude E6500 Cannot Turn On Intel 5100 Wifi Card?

Nov 9, 2010

I have a Dell Latitude E6500 running Opensuse 11.3. As far as I can tell the module for my wireless card is loaded correctly and it's working:

Code:
sudo lspci | grep -i wifi
0c:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation WiFi Link 5100
Code:
[ 556.642557] iwlagn: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link AGN driver for Linux, in-tree:d
[ 556.642560] iwlagn: Copyright(c) 2003-2010 Intel Corporation

[Code].....

The funny thing is that it works fine in a Fedora installation, which has an older kernel and older drivers, on the same laptop. The fact that the indicator light doesn't come in when the physical switch is turned on suggests it's something to do with that switch.

OpenSUSE Install :: DELL Latitude E6410 - Core I7 M620 With Integrated Intel HD Graphics - Blank Screen

Aug 19, 2010

I have been unable to get both opensuse 11.2 and 11.3 32 bit versions work properly on my DELL Latitude E6410 laptop. With both 11.2 and 11.3 KDE Live CDs I get no graphical display when I attempt to boot into the Live system. VESA mode does not help either, only text mode works. So I installed the system in text mode but during the first boot the screen went blank again.

One peculiar thing is that 11.1 installs and boots fine, what gives? Is this even supported or I shouldn't even try to bother getting this setup to work? Has anyone been able to run opensuse 11.3 on a Core i7 integrated Intel graphics system with X system working?

OpenSUSE Install :: Cannot Install 11.2 At Dell Latitude XT

Dec 19, 2009

I can't install OpenSuse 11.2 on my Dell latitude XT notebook.

1. I tried DVD x86-64 install. The process seemed ok, but after installing Suse can't boot - with its any menu item. Booting seemed ok, there was no errors in screen lines, but when GUI seemed try to load (the screen became colored), all freezed. VGA menu item and other boot menu options did not save the situation. Repeat booting from DVD with Recovery option showed not mount or not correctly unmount fs (which couldn't be corrected by recovery program), some not fatal difficulties in the core and other minor and correctable errors. But after recovery process the picture was the same.
2. Then I tried net install. The same picture.
3. Installing to clean hd... The same. (Manual partitioning - the same too.)

I will not describe my numerous different attempts (and wast time spent for net downloading), so far as I thought that the matter was in my adjustments in the installing process, because other Linux distributive (such as Mandriva, Ubuntu etc. tried by me) were installed without the slightest problem at the Latitude XT.

4. Then I downloaded and installed 11.1 version of Suse. There was only some minor errors, and booting was normal. But there appeared some problems with downloading from repositories and I couldn't update it to 11.2; and installing 11.2 over 11.1 from DVD resulted to the same problems.
5. After I searched this forum, I've tried different installing options (noacpi and so on) at last.. But without any result and any change.
