Ubuntu :: Can't Set 1360 X 768 Resolution

Dec 18, 2010

In Ubuntu 10.10, with the Nvidia Current driver (260.19.06), I have the option to set 1360 x 768 resolution (via gksudo nvidia-settings), but it doesn't work. The screen goes blank for about 10 seconds and then comes back on, reset to 1024 x 768.

I've searched this forum and internet in general for the past 5 hours but have not found a solution that worked.

Fedora Networking :: Enabling Wifi On An Acer 1360

Dec 24, 2009

trying to bring back to useful ife an old laptop: an Acer 1360.

I have installed kmod-ndiswrapper to assist me. The laptop has one of these:

Quote:

00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Linksys, A Division of Cisco Systems [AirConn] INPROCOMM IPN 2220 Wireless LAN Adapter (rev 01)

I have grabbed the Windows drivers for this card and installed:

Quote:

[graham@old-acer ~]$ ndiswrapper -l
WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release.
neti2220 : driver installed
device (17FE:2220) present

lsmod shows:

Quote:

ndiswrapper 158060 0

Looking good to me - (is that conf file required an issue?) but Network Manager doesn't recognise that I have any wlan running at all. The Wifi button on the laptop is on but 'red' and not 'green' for up and running.

Um. Next steps? I suppose I could buy a compatible wifi card and slap it in?

Barebones installation. Manually start x with 'startx'. For some weird reason, the resolution randomly sets to either 1024x768 or 800x600. How do I permanently set a resolution?

Ubuntu :: Actual Resolution Is Only 1024x768 - Can't Get The Native Resolution (1280x1024)

Apr 5, 2011

I'm running 10.10. I have a Nvidia GTX 460. My actual resolution is only 1024x768. I can't get the native resolution (1280x1024). Nvidia-settings does not show this resolution. Google hasn't helped at all so far, and I have installed the Nvidia Driver.

Ubuntu :: Changing A Display Resolution If You Have A Higher Resolution In 9.1?

Dec 7, 2009

I searched the archives and didn't find anything on this, and was just wondering if there is a problem if you load Ubuntu 9.1 and have a display that's higher than 1024x768. I'd prefer a machine with a higher res, but I've heard that Ubuntu will only go as high as 1024x768.I'm guessing, however, that by 9.1, it should recog the higher res while loading and it won't be a problem, but thought I'd check before shelling out on a machine with a nicer display.

Hardware :: Resolution Changed - Can't Return To Normal Resolution

Nov 20, 2010

I was evaluating a live distro on a USB drive and the resolution got changed from my normal 1680X1050 to 1024X768. I normally run SuperOS (ubuntu derivative) at 1680X1050 on my 22" LCD flatscreen monitor. The users manual for the monitor says that the optimum resolution is 1680X1050. Now when I go to system, preferences, monitors the monitor is unknown and the highest resolution that is available is 1360X768. I have clicked on Detect Monitors but not sure anything is happening. I have went to system, administration, additional drivers but none show up. The OSD menu for the monitor is showing 1380X768. I haven't been able to make any changes to the setting. I push the button that is supposed to get me into the sub-menu but nothing happens.

Fedora Installation :: Get To Start The Install Process In A Resolution Other Than The "Optimum Resolution"?

Dec 5, 2009

I have googled this and I refuse to believe the answer is "older video card" or "ubuntu". Does anyone know what boot parameters to use or how to get Fedora to start the install process in a resolution other than the "Optimum resolution"? resolution=640x40 vga=ask. These do not work. They set the debug display but when the graphical portion starts it defaults to the "optimum resolution" and the message displays "Cannot Display This Video Mode". As you consider the answer, think this is a new computer, blank hard disk, etc. I am installing Fedora 10. Tried 11 and Vista seems less buggy, prefer 10 or 9.

Ubuntu :: Resolution Changes After Reboot?

Mar 3, 2010

I use a few different hard drives that I plug into one PC instead of partitioning, since it causes problems. I plugged in my Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit and it booted up in 1024x768 instead of 1280x1024 which is the default resolution for this monitor.Why would it change when it's been 1280 x 1024 everytime but this time? When I check the display settings it doesn't even have 1280x1024 anymore?

Ubuntu :: Resolution Can't Be Set Correctly

Mar 17, 2010

I just installed ubuntu 9.10 (latest version + updates) on my computer. I am new to the linux OS.I have a 1366x768 resolution monitor with a maximum vertical frequency of 60 hz. This worked well on windows. As I've already read in the internet, this can rise problems on Ubuntu. The monitor is connected through a switchbox, so it doesn't get recognised. Even if it's hooked up directly (Ubuntu recognises it) I can't choose the correct resolution.

Currently I can't use another graphics driver than the generic one. The screen stays black ("wrong vertical frequency" displayed on LCD Monitor) if I use another driver. I'd like to use the proprietary ATI/AMD fglrx driver. I edited the xorg.conf file, but I was unable to get the right resolution. It seems to be outdated on Ubuntu 9.10. After that fail, I searched for alternatives and ended up with a file called

45custom_xrandr-settings

in the "Xsession.d" folder. I'm using the following contents:

Code:

xrandr --newmode "1366x768_60.00" 85.86 1368 1440 1584 1800 768 769 772 795 -HSync +Vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA-0 "1366x768_60.00"
xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1366x768_60.00

But the monitor still complains that it's the wrong vertical frequency when I use the fglrx driver. The generic driver uses another resolution than the specified one (as always) and gives me a blurry picture on the screen. I have also tried other modelines, Ubuntu just doesn't seem to be able to display 1366x768@60hz.

Ubuntu :: How To Change Tty Resolution

Mar 21, 2010

Ok, I'm sick of Grub2. It's a total mess that is needlessly complicated in the worst fashion imaginable. (Yes, I've read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2, it doesn't help.) I can't understand Grub2 developers thinking (maybe they're aliens?) and, quite frankly, I just don't care anymore. how to change resolution for textmode terminals (tty1, tty2, ...)? I don't want to read any more [censored] about gfxpayload and how it's supposed to work. Please don't respond if you can't provide an example config that simply just works.

[Edit/SOLVED]: No longer an issue in Lucid Lynx for me. See this HOWTO. Note that 1280x1024 isn't the only option. You can use any resolution supported by VBE of your video card. Use vbeinfo command in Grub shell to see the list of available display modes.

Ubuntu :: Set Various Resolution Such As 1400x1050 (VNC)?

May 24, 2010

In 8.04 I used displayconfig-gtk to tell Ubuntu a 1400x1050 monitor was connected so I could use this resolution over VNC. Now this package isn't available anymore.

I already messed around with xorg.conf ending up in no signal after GRUB. I fixed this in recovery by removing xorg.conf.

How do I do this? I want to be able to set various resolution such as 1400x1050 (VNC) and 1024x768 (when connecting a real screen).

Ubuntu :: Can't Adjust Resolution In 10.04

Jun 11, 2010

I have just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 to a computer with a generic, low end, on board graphics card. It will not allow me to change the resolution to something other than 800x600 or lower. 8.04 allowed me to set the resolution to as high as 1600x1200 using the same monitor/graphics card.

Ubuntu :: Can't Get 16:10 (1440x900) Resolution On 10.04

Jun 26, 2010

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..

Ubuntu :: Why Is Screen Resolution So Low?

Aug 25, 2010

i just installed 10.04.1 and have done a quick apt-get update/apt-get upgrade.the problem is i'm running a 1920 x 1080 display using a geforce gtx460, yet the screen is cropped in at 1280 x 1024. i have the option to go lower only.i first tried to install the nvidia binary in the old-fashioned way of (system > administration > hardware drivers) but this reported that there are no proprietary drivers in use and there was no option to 'switch one on'.i guess my hardware is too new so i want to install the drivers available at nvidia's website (256.44). this adds support for my gpu.

i tried to install these by exiting x but this just resulted in some sort of system hang. the function keys on my keyboard seem to be 'non-functional' too, making a ctrl+alt+f1 not do what it should. i think this may be a problem with the mac keyboard i'm using.is this just a waiting game? can i get into a virtual console somehow else (perhaps during bootup)? is there a way i can exit x without the system hang? is there another way of installing some workable drivers? should i be altering my xorg.conf?

Ubuntu :: Screen Resolution UB 10.10?

Oct 18, 2010

I have a custom PC with a (nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] (rev c1)) graphics card and a 17" Compaq MV720 CRT monitor. My graphics card/monitor combination is capable of resolutions up to 1280 X 1024.

I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 64Bit, and the highest resolution available at Sysytem>Preferences>Monitors>Resolution: is 1024 X 768. I want to get the resolution up to 1152 X 864, which the card/monitor is capable of. I looked around the forum for a solution, but couldn't find a thread that explains exactly what I want to do. In the most previous version of Ubuntu that I used (9.10), I could generate an xorg.conf with Xorg, grab the (Monitor, Device, and Screen) sections, and use that with a few changes to create an xorg.conf to get the resolutions that I wanted. In 10.10, that no longer works. In fact, it won't even work without the changes. After placing the xorg.conf in /etc/X11, the PC will only boot up to a text CLI prompt to login. No GUI desktop.

My PC is a totally orthodox desktop, no dual boot, no Virtualbox. What do I have to do to get the resolutions above 1024 X 768?
