Ubuntu :: Change Resolution Permanently Of Second Monitor?
Apr 13, 2011
I use a laptop and Ubuntu 10.10 x86. Problem is I have a second monitor with 1280x1024 native resolution, and that resolution is not displayed in modes.So I solved my problem temporarily using this: Code:xrandr --newmode 1280x1024_60.00 109.00 1280 1368 1496 1712 1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA1 1280x1024_60.00 The 1280x1024 mode appears and I do "apply" -> all OK. And then I press "make default" (where I get a pop screen confirmation warning me that will be the default config after reboot) - nice! Problem is: "make default" don't work! And I have to add a new mode after each login.

I upgraded my opensuse from 11.2 to 11.3, but after it, I have several problem with it.
Firstly: My graphic card is intel hd4500 and motherboard chip's is intel G41. After upgrading, I understood suse 11.3 didn't have sax2. at a result. I have problem with graphic card driver and consequently can't change screen resolution, therefore after each restart, my resolution automatically fix to 1600x1200 but I would like to set it in 1280x1024? What can I do to change it permanently?
Secondly: I installed vmware workstation 6.5 and after it, I see a message that say vmware need to Kernel Header 2.6.34-12- desktop. I install kernel-syms, kernel-source, gcc and make but doesn't run yet. What happen for it?

I have an asus eee pc with a 7 inch screen. the screen is small and today I attached a 15 inch dell monitor to increase the screen size. the dell monitor is displaying a 720x 400 resolution which results in a very large screen but no more space on the screen. I can select 1024x768 resolution in system,preferences, display. HOWEVER I cannot select APPLY to this resolution because the apply button is not visable on the bottom of the screen because the display is SOOOO big.

I have been using Ubuntu for a couple of years and always at the 1024 768 screen resolution.
I just finished installing version 10.04. It defaulted to 1280 1024.
I much prefer the 1024 768 because it is better for my older eyes, but when I attempt to change, the screen goes black for a minute and then stays at 1280 1024.
Since earlier versions of Ubuntu did it, this should also, but..

Installed server 10.04 using an old Sony 19" multi scan 400ps CRT monitor. The command line font is less than 1/8" high: something on the order of a large 4pt or small 5pt font. Made several attempts to locate the correct info using the man functions and searching the archives, but so far have not been unable to find the needed information. The eye strain is about to make me eligible for a white cane with a red tip.

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?

I have an acer aspire one netbook and in display properties it says the monitor is unknown. The trouble is that the screen is widescreen (16:9) but it has it as (4:3)so the screen is sort of stretched. Is the a terminal command as another way round this or how can i get the screen recognised?

I have a fresh installation of Debian 7.8 on my Dell Precision notebook. Somehow I failed to configure Xorg in a proper way. I do have X up and running, but I can not change my monitor resolution. Here is my graphics card.
Code: Select all$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Radeon HD 8800M Series
I tried to follow suggestions from Debian Wiki, somehow nothing really worked (https://wiki.debian.org/AtiHowTo)
Code: Select all# aticonfig
aticonfig: No supported adapters detected
Code: Select all# X -configure
Terminated with an error, below is the Xorg.0.log file
Code: Select all[ 227.953]
X.Org X Server 1.12.4

I mis-clicked and now my monitor resolution is WAY too high. I could fix that by re-clicking, but the menu to bring up the screen I need to click is off-screen.By blind clicking I got a command line window. Can anybody tell me the command line to bring up the system preference for monitor resolution?

Just installed Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat".
Install went through smoothly in both my laptop and an old Dell Optiplex GX 270.
Screen looks fine on laptop but terrible on the Dell. It's stuck on Refresh rate of 60Hz and flickers pretty bad. 60Hz is the only rate offered! How can I change the refresh rate to ~65-72Hz like is possible on earlier Ubuntu versions to ease eye strain?

I just installed Debian 8 (loving it so far) and everything its working right except for one thing: The monitor resolution!
I've got a LG 22 inch monitor and it supports up to 1360x768 but the display settings only shows 1024x768 as max resolution. Doing a little research i was able to get the desire resolution (1360x768) through the use of the tool "xrandr". The problem is that the resolution its not permanent and i need to invoke the xrandr script (i wrote a very basic "script" to set the resolution) on every restart or session logout and of course this is annoying. I've tried to use "crontab" to invoke the script on every restart but for some reason did not worked.
So, making more research i saw that apparently the correct way to set the resolution is by making use of "xorg.conf" but didn't quite get how to do....
Here's the xrandr script that i use:
Code: Select allOUTPUT=VGA1
MODE=1360x768
MODELINE=""1360x768" 84.75 1360 1432 1568 1776 768 771 781 798 -hsync +vsyn$
xrandr --newmode $MODELINE
xrandr --addmode $OUTPUT $MODE
xrandr --output $OUTPUT --mode $MODE

I just bought a 31.5" HDTV and have it connected to my laptop as a monitor. My laptop monitor is cracked and pretty much useless so I would like to be able to keep it turned off and stick with my new monitor. So far, I have managed to accomplish all of this, just one problem, I will need to go through too long a process for every login to set it all up again. I'm hoping someone can help me simplify this and have everything done automatically while Ubuntu is booting or even right after login.
Process:
Code:
$ cvt 1366 768 60
# 1368x768 59.88 Hz (CVT) hsync: 47.79 kHz; pclk: 85.25 MHz
Modeline "1368x768_60.00" 85.25 1368 1440 1576 1784 768 771 781 798 -hsync +vsync

I play MAME in Ubuntu 9.10 and every time i boot my PC I calibrate my joystick with jscal. The correction values are stored in a script ( /etc/joystick.cal ) but when I reboot, the old values are written again in so I have either to repeat calibration or open the script and give the right correction values (which I have stored somewhere). So , what is the way to save my changes in this script permanently ?

I have a dual monitor setup in Ubuntu, with my main monitor on the right and the monitor I want to extend to on the left monitor, but I can't seem to get it to do this, it always has the 'desktop' on the left monitor and then extends onto what I want to be my main monitor. I have an ATI Radeon 4350 Graphics card.

I'm using two swap disks. Changing the order they are in in /etc/fstab and using "pri" in fstab doesn't have any effect. This is what it looks like /etc/fstab
#swap on other disk
UUID=90a1550c-84d6-4bde-8bc1-7c15292980f1 none swap sw,pri=-1 0 0
#swap on same disk
UUID=13b70e65-f1c3-4728-920f-9e92467d1df0 none swap sw,pri=-2 0 0
[Code]...
Its opposite of what it is in fstab, and changes to fstab have no effect.

When I change it on desktop login as regular user to the right thing, then log out or reboot, I have to change it again when I log back in again. This is with an Audigy2 card, and onboard audio chip. I switch between the two for various reasons.

I had to reinstall Windows recently, which reset my clock under Linux. No problem, I set the clock, and then set the hardware clock to the system clock. Rebooted under Windows, and both were fine. After rebooting into Slack, it is again a few hours off. How can I change this permanently?

All my LC environment variables are currently set to POSIX at boot, though I can't find the startup script that does this. I've grepped through /etc/rcS.d and /etc/rc2.d but no luck. In /etc/default/locale, LANG is set to en_GB.UTF-8, which is my preferred locale. But this doesn't stop all the LC's being set to POSIX. Consequently, my dates follow the American convention, which I find hard to read.
I tried resetting with update-locale LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8. This changed all the locales to en_GB but only for the session. When I rebooted, everything went back to POSIX. The only change is that en_GB.utf-8 is now in the /etc/default/locale file as the value of LC_TIME as well as LANG.

I installed Ubuntu on my Netbook. I like it to use the Terminals. I don't mean the "GUI-Terminal-Emulators", I mean those I can open with "Alt+FX". There the font size is to big, so I changed it with "dpkg-reconfigure console-setup". It worked, but after restart the font were "reseted" and big. Is there a way to permanently change the font size?
