Ubuntu :: 10.10 Can't Be Installed With Video 640x480?
Oct 21, 2010
I had the following problem when I installed ubuntu 10.10: - my video was only able to show 640x480 and the installation was a nightmare (I started more than 10 times until I was able to finish - because right-down buttons are not visible ...) If you need more details about my hardware let me know and I can run some software to collect data about my hardware if is necessary. Basically I have a dual monitor system (one lower resolution and one with higher resolution). A nice fix will be (if possible) to not clone automatically the screen on both screens -> and to give me the option to choose the video settings (before starting the installation - and this screen to have always 640x480 ...)

Just upgraded from Etch and now I'm stuck at 640x480 resolution. Xorg.conf doesn't show any display modes, and xrandr gives the only resolution as 640x480. The laptop is a Toshiba Tecra 730XCDT. I know its a doorstop, but 800x600 worked fine under Etch. Anyone know how to to change it back? It's really hard to look at right now.

I have a laptop with 2 graphic cards on it, currently I have the nvidia drivers installed, and I want to install the Intel ones, but when I try to install I am prompted to remove the nvidia ones.
I have a module to turn off the nvidia card, but I still need to get the drivers for the intel card install, how to do it?

My Ubuntu can not go any higher then 640x480. I have found out what the problem is. The monitor has broken down (firmware or some thing) but still works fine in Windows. How do i know this ? Well a few mouths ago i was on Windows Me and one day it booted up saying that it is installing a default driver for the screen , so i let it do and after it did that it would never use the VA702 driver. Also the resolution could get higher then 1280x1024(this is the screens biggest res). A other mouth later i installed Windows XP and when using it i tried to install the VA702 driver but it did not work so i had to manually install it which worked but did not get correct resolutions e.g. could go higher than the monitor is meant to go. Now in Ubuntu can't go higher then 640x480. How can i fix this ?

I just installed an nVidia driver for my Dell laptop running the latest flavor of Ubuntu (Lazy Lynx, or whatever it's up to). After it rebooted, the screen came up black. I have no video. How do I get rid of this driver and get my video back?

I am test driving Ubuntu 9.04 (Desktop) - the screen resolution always pops up as 800 x 600 - Preference Display tells me there is a different graphics driver (which I have installed) and set to 1280 X 800 which then works till I re-boot. I changed it in NVIDIA X Server Settings. When I try to save to X configuration I get a message "Unable to create new X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'." - which I presume is because I am not in superuser mode - how do I set up a superuser account (is this even possible?) or is there a nioce simple way for a real newbie to fix this?

Gents:
Running x64-U_8.04.1/EVGA_nv9400/Viewsonic 19" LCD
On a concurrent forum--INSTALL-- thread I've reported being "trapped" in a 640x480 screen resolution after changing graphics cards. It is very difficult/impossible to use screen GUI-function as displays overlap and do-NOT "traverse".
I have got installed the NVidia GUI tool which reports the proper card, screen display ( 1280x1040 ) and the current X-WIn setting ( 640x480 ).
A poster on <INSTALL> suggested use of the CLI command <xrandr> to fix screen display ... thus perhaps allowing full GUI function for changing X-WIN setting. Is use of <xrandr> the best-available method for me to get out of the 640x480 "trap"?

My Ubuntu server box, has a Iiyama prolite LCD, 22", 1680x1050, that had not problem at all since... I can remember. Since yesterday, after a restart, xserver started in 640x480, with only 320x240 as alternative.
I have latest nVidia drivers installed, and the main difference with last week, is that now, Display Configuration says CRT-1, unknown instead of Iiyama.
I've tried.
1. Uninstall xserver and reinstall.
2. dpkg reconfigure
3. Uninstall nVidia and come back to original Nouveau.

I have a fresh install of 10.04 lts I've followed the BinaryDriverHowto on the wiki. Which seemed to install everything ok.
The Nouveau had I believe 1024x768, now all I can seem to get with the proprietary driver is 640x480.
Is there a way to add resolutions to the xorg.config? I tried to use what the howto suggested, but I get video mode not found.
Here's what the Nvidia xorg.config looks like. Don't know if it will help.
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
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig

I installed the video drivers for my ATi 3870 and I found out the hard way it was the wrong driver, so now upon booting I can only get as far as an Ubuntu screen with some text and then my computer will restart once it reaches that point. It'll keep doing this until I turn it off, and I can't seem to get to a point in which I can get any control over it. I made a live CD but it has the same effect.

I have a FX 5200 and a 26" TV with VGA input which supports 1330x760. No problem with this in Windows, but in Ubuntu, as soon as I install nvidia drivers (175) resolution goes 640x480.
I've tried editing xorg.conf in several different ways, but resolution didn't change, maybe I was doing it the wrong way.
PD: 10.04 Lucid Lynx fresh install

I am a first time user and recently installed 9.10 from a LiveCd then immediately upgraded to 10.04 LTS. I had no black screen problem, but my resolution is stuck at 640x480 with no other options. I upgraded my driver to NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-195.36.31 and the resolution remains the same. I have a Geforce GTS 250 and an Acer H233H capable of 1920x1080_75.
My XFile:
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder62) Thu Jun 3 09:41:37 PDT 2010
# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using values from the debconf database.
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only* if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg package .....
I have tried entering a CVT generated modeline to the xorg file but it did nothing.

My server showed a black screen on the monitor because the resolution was out of range. I fixed this problem by pressing 'e' at the grub menu and I changed the first line to say "set gfxmode=640x480". What do I need to change in my grub settings to make this a permanent change?

I have BackTrack 5 installed to my hard drive. I understand that this distro is focused on hacking. I think it is focused on hacking so much so, that there are a multitude of dependancies involving video and even audio, and especially media players omitted. So I was wondering if anyone has ever done this, and I think this is an issue that many wouldn't mind addressing despite finding no similar threads. Any media player I attempt to install requires numerous other files and installations to be present. So I go looking for these other software and when I try installing many of them, they too need software updates. And of course it branches and branches.

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.

I have on old Thinkpad T42 with the Mobility Radeon 7500 graphics chip. It used to work like a charm with the open source radeon driver, until KMS came along. It had no problems except for fullscreen being always black. I thought this is because I have an old card, and used 'nomodeset' in the kernel line, which strangely cranked up the memory usage and made the system choppier, but I managed. Today I was testing the use of an external monitor at home, and found out not only that it only works properly with KMS enabled, but fullscreen games work like a charm (e.g. DOSBox, which I use a lot).
After experimenting a bit, I found out that on the internal display (LCD), 640x480 produces a black screen, while others work as expected. so i set dosbox to use 800x600 as the fullscreen resolution, and it works. The problem is that there are a lot of games (and apps) that I use which provide no configuration options to set the resolution, so I end up with a black screen (when I'm using the internal display, of course). Bottom line: I'm not asking for anyone to fix my problems from a distance, basically blindfolded.

I have just installed Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic on my HTPC, and it detected my TV (connected via DVI, so is a monitor effectively) OK, and displayed the proper resolution of 1360 x 768. I want to use the proper nVidia drivers which I've enabled using the restricted drivers tool in Ubuntu. On doing this, it has set the resolution to 640 x 480, and the nVidia configuration tool will not let me set it any higher.
1. The contents of xorg.conf are now irrelevant as of the last few versions of X?
2. The nVidia software is not reading the EDID information from my TV properly?

I have just installed Ubuntu Server 10.04. With Version 8.04 I had no problem to change the resolution from 640x480 to 1440x900 (console, no GUI installed). With 10.04, it does not work, the only resolution that works is 640x480. I have tried the following:
Changed: GRUB_GFXMODE=1440x900
Result: Success, Grub comes up with 1440x900, but when booting, the resolution changes to 640x480
Changed: GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1440x900
Result: Booting -> blank screen > automatic reboot
Changed: GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
