Ubuntu :: Correct Screen Resolution Will Not Appear?
Apr 8, 2011
I just got a DVI cable so I can have a dual monitor setup, (one VGA, one DVI monitor), and when the DVI cable is plugged into our 20" widescreen, the correct resolution (1680 x 1050), a "No Signal" error message will appear on the monitor. When the resolution is lower with the DVI cable, it will show up, but everything will be a bit bold and blurry. When I plug our VGA cable into the VGA slot in this monitor, everything shows up fine.

I have some experience with Linux (mostly Ubuntu) but absolutely none with Fedora. In fact I have needed to re-install twice just to get to this stage. I now have a fully updated Fedora 14 Gnome desktop. I have (finally) got Nvidia graphics drivers up and running. I can open the Nvidia Settings screen and everything looks ok except that the desktop screen resolution doesn't seem correct. I have a Sony Vaio with default screen resolution of 1920x1200. In Nvidia settings it was set to AUTO, but I've changed that as root user to 1920x1200 with a refresh rate of 60 Hz and rebooted. My desktop looks quite good, but it's not 1920x1200 - maybe 1600x1200? Perhaps. How do I confirm the current resolution?
I have run
Code:
glx info | grep direct
and the output is
Code: direct rendering: Yes
GL_EXT_Cg_shader, GL_EXT_depth_bounds_test, GL_EXT_direct_state_access,
Which I presume is ok?

I'm using two screens where one Is cheep Denver TV screen with DVD player. I have just install Jessie on my PC. Before i had Windows and there was no problems finding correct resolution for this screen. Now Jessie recognize it as Unknown and the maximum resolution I can set is 1024x768 what is way to small even for this screen. At Windows resolution was something over 1200px wide. The worst thing about it is that this resolution stretches the display really ugly. You may think I'm making big deal of nothing but for me it is actually a deal. I'm graphical designer and I need to see display as it is.

I installed Squeeze with LXDE on my old 600MHz Celeron, 256MB ram computer. But, every time I boot, the screen resolution is wrong. I can set it right with a few clicks of the mouse, but next time I boot up it has reverted to the wrong setting. I found that this problem has been reported on the LXDE forum, but the official response seems to be that it is not their problem.
How do I get the correct setting to stick?

I just set up my dad's pc with Debian Sqeeze. It runs perfectly fine and after trying a lot of distro's Debian is the only one that will not crash or freeze up X. Now we're forced to using my own 17" monitor instead of his 19" wide screen since the max res is 1280 x 1024 in Sqeeze. What he needs is 1360 x 768. I found out in the wiki that xorg.conf needs to be edited. Since the file does not exist it needs to be created by running "Xorg -configure" in tty after stopping GDM. when running the "Xorg -configure" command this is the output;
" vmware: Please ignore above "FATAL: Module vmwgfx bot found."
(++) Using config file: "/root/xorg.conf.new"
(==) Using system config directory "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d"
Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices.
Configuration failed. "
It's an Intel Sandy Bridge integrated graphics chip. I've tried running "Xorg:1 -configure" as mentioned in a forum but that simply gives me a "unknown command" answer.

When my notebook boots I get a high screen resolution. However, when I login it seems to go to a lower resolution that is not clear. I think this all started when I updated to a new kernel. So I reinstalled the nvida drivers using leigh's guide. However, I still can't seem to get it to display correctly.
Code:

Excited at seeing the new features in 10.04, I clicked the Upgrade button tonight. I am now really regretting it! Problems:
1. My screen resolution should be 1280x1024 but the System>Preferences>Monitors control panel only shows 1024x768.
I think I have onboard Realtek graphics. Do I need to install proprietary drivers? Everything worked fine out of the box with 9.10!
2. The sound isn't working. Again I think I have onboard Realtek sound, and again it used to work fine without any intervention from me...
3. Although on first startup wireless networking was working fine, I restarted to see if that would solve the display issue, and wireless networking stopped working too!
I have an RaLink wireless card.
When I used Grub to choose 2.6.31.20, I got some error messages at startup (e.g. mount couldn't mount /dev), but then it did eventually start up and the sound and wireless networking are working again. But the resolution is still not fixed. It is now offering 1152x864, which it didn't previously, but no 1280x1024 (my screen's native resolution).

I recently set up Kubuntu for my parents, and its working fine, other than the screen resolution. When I log in, it uses 800x600 when it should be using 1280x1024. I've tried to generate/ edit xorg.conf, but Kubuntu doesn't seem to pay attention to it. Also, I don't know if it matters, but it seems to be detecting a second screen that doesn't exist (see picture). That "monitor" can only go up to 800x600, but when I disabled it, it stayed off. When it was on and I pressed identify monitors, however, it put both labels on the main monitor. Here's the picture of the two monitors:

My HP Laptop screen is 18.4 in diameter and the only two resolutions that work are the highest a 1920x1080 which is too small for me or 1360x768 which is perfect. That res is no longer available in the latest Nvidia driver.

FINALLY got my personal server up and running again after my GPU's fan died. i rigged a new fan/heatsink on it but i can't seem to get the resolution correct. nvidia-settings (version 195.36.31) says 1280x960 but i have to pan around the entire desktop (like having a huge image zoomed in on a small screen).

I installed ubuntu onto a desktop computer about a month ago. Everything was working well straight away, I had it outputted onto my TV (32 inch Hi Def Sharpe Aquos). The Graphics card is an NVidia Ge Force FX 5600. On installation and after a restart the computer detected the TV and actually gave the name of the TV in the settings automatically, in the system --> Administration Menu there is a programme that sets the resolution and settings for the NVidia card. This all sorted itself automatically and displayed in 1360 x 768 which was perfect on my TV. For some reason when I turned it on this morning it will only display in 640 x 480 or 320 x 240. xrandr only gives minimum of 320 x 240 and maximum as 640 x 480. How to rectify this?

I've just bought a new monitor - Viewsonic VA2213w and am trying to set it up with Lucid. The resolution required is 1920x1080 @ 60Hz. I have an NVidia GTS250 with the proprietary driver v195.36.24 installed. I can set the right resolution in the nvidia-settings app, but it will not survive a restart. X always reverts to 1024x768. I have manually edited xorg.conf now to try to force the mode. The GDM login screen displays at the correct resolution, but on logging in X changes the resolution. Xorg.0.log shows the resolution being correctly set to 1920x1080 initially, then right at the end for some reason it is reset to 1024x768.

I am using Ubuntu 11.04 on an Intel D510MO motherboard as a low-end surfing computer. The monitor, a Viewsonic VA1926w, has a maximum resolution of 1440x900. However, the monitor preferences shows a maximum of 1024x768 only. How can I bring up the resolution to 1440x900? The screen seems sort of flattened because of the incorrect settings. I think the video card (built in) of the motherboard is an Intel 3150.

I recently built a new computer and moved over my old graphics card, a nVidia GTX 275. Everything appeared to work fine, it booted with no drama etc.
I use my computer for work and gaming, all my work, web browsing, chat etc happens on Debian. I play games on Windows 7.I did a fresh Debian install on this box and everything went smoothly until starting xdm for the first time, it wouldn't go to a higher resolution than 640x480. I'd already installed the proprietary nVidia drivers and they appeared to be working fine, just at the wrong resolution.

I tested OpenSuse 11.4 as a guest OS via virtualbox on a win7 32bit host. Output to my 16:9 screen was perfect with a plentiful choice of high resolutions. Now with Suse (32 bit) properly installed as the host the only resolutions are 1024X768 and below and I am stuck with 4:3 ratio. My PC is an Intel Atom D945GCLF2 which has integral graphics. The monitor is the VGA input of a Samsung TV.

About three weeks ago I bought a new PC and installed Debian Squeeze. I have a Samsung SyncMaster 2494hs monitor connected to it. Until about an hour ago the monitor resolution was 1920x1080 and there were no problems. Anytime I clicked on system -> preferences -> monitors, the monitor preferences displayed the monitor name (Samsung whatever) as well as the resolution (1920x1080). An hour ago I did my normal daily upgrade via synaptic (synaptic -> mark all upgrades -> apply). When the upgrade were finished, the system indicated that a restart was required, so I restarted.
After the reboot, my monitor's resolution is set at 1152x864. System -> preferences -> monitors shows the monitor name as unknown and the max resolution available is 1360x768. Xrandr shows the max available resolution as 1360x1360, which is obviously wrong. According to discover I have an ATI graphics card. I've also run ddcprobebut that outputs about 15 lines and then stops with edidfail. I do not have an xorg.conf on my system or, if I do have one, it is not in /etc/X11.

I recently got a computer and installed the ubuntu 10.04 beta on it. I'm having issues getting my monitor to display at the correct resolution. It should be displaying at 1440x900, but the highest resolution I can select from the displays configuration panel is 1366x768, which is not even the correct aspect ratio.

This is the whole thing, in case it helps.
From what I have read, this is a brand new chipset with the GPU built into the main CPU, as if it were another CPU core. Is there a driver for this yet, or do I have to deal with an improper resolution?

I have two displays: my main being an Apple Cinema Display (1920x1200), and my secondary being a Compaq W17q (1440x900). Previously all applications saw the secondary fine, being able to detect its name, native resolution, refresh rate, and so forth. But today, for no reason, after going into nvidia-settings the display is now being called "CRT-0" with only 4:3 resolutions available (1024x768 being the highest).
So now I'm stuck with the wrong resolution on my second monitor. All I can guess is that something more integral in Fedora is no longer able to read the EDID in it or something (I say integral as it's not just nvidia-settings, its everything, not to mention my install of Win 7 still reads the display A-OK)? Maybe I could just force the 1440x900 resolution? If so, how? Everything I've tried so far has either had no effect or resulted in glitch city.

I am new to opensuse and have installed 11.2 KDE. It is simply perfect for my system. However after the initial setup the display resolution was set perfectly fine for my 18.5" LED monitor, default resolution was 1366x768, and everything looked good from desktop to fonts but the OSS drivers didn't support compositing so I decided to switch to nvidia drivers. I installed the driver as shown in openSUSE repositories page, for my 6600GT card. Now after rebooting everything is stretched,even the fonts look really ugly and fuzzy.
I am unable to find any mode in Nvidia XServer settings that would correct the current ugly stretched display. I am unable to set 1366x768 manually as well, doing so my PC won't boot to KDM but rather sticks to console. Now it's for sure that my monitor and display card supports 1366x768 resolution but it's just that nvidia drivers/Nvidia XServer settings won't let me set that resolution. How can I set the resolution or even better if I can enable compositing using OSS drivers then that would be great an dm willing to switch back.

I was trying to get my brand new xubuntu install on a Dell Latitutude get going with a kvm switch. I shut down the machine -> connected the kvm cable -> powered it back on and the keyboard/mouse work fine in the login screen, HOWEVER, I just can't get past the login screen, it keeps refreshing the screen even if my authentication is correct.
I unplugged the usb kvm cable, restarted but the problem does not go away.
I can't login to recovery mode (press esc during GRUB load), it doesn't offer any recovery options, goes straight to the login screen.

Before I upgrade to 10.4 It would be nice to find the best solution to this problem. I use a KVM switch that dont pass the EDID info from the screen to the OS. To solve this, that is, to get the correct screen resolution, i need to pass monitor and screen info to the OS at every startup. One way is to ad a script to /etc/gdm/init/default, or in KDE /etc/kde4/kdm/Xsetup.

I recently upgraded my graphics card from a Geforce 7600GS to a Gefore 560Ti. And while most things are normal, during boot up my screen isn't "full screen" until X is started, after which everything else is fine. Essentially, all display, the grub menu, the splash screen, console text, etc, is within a box on the screen, with 2" on the left and right, and 1" top and bottom of empty blackness.
From what I understand, this is because the framebuffer is using the wrong resolution, but the maximum resolution that hwinfo --framebuffer returns is 1280x1024 (which I am already using "0x031a".) (My monitors is natively 1920x1080) Is it possible to do something about this? If not increase resolution than at least stretch the screen to full screen?

Unfortunately my experience in the Unix* based world up to this point has only been using web servers and administrating them, no GUI experience of any kind so I am completely unfamiliar with the setup and entire usage of Xorg or any other Window manager at this point. The issue I am having is with the screen resolutions I am being allowed to chose for my Dell Studio 1535 running Fedora Core 13 and the KDE 4 desktop GUI, thus my issue since I am not really familiar with how to run a Unix* based GUI in the first place.
The basic information, if there is more needed just advise what and what command gathers that info (or what conf/log I should look into in order to find it). Laptop is a Dell Studio 1535 Video is the Mobile Intel GMA X3100 ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics. LCD interface is the LVDS.
So far it seems to give me modes for 1024x768 and on down, nothing above this. I believe I am supposed to use the radeon driver being that is the type of card it is but every time I change the xorg.conf file to use this instead of vesa the system wont get past the loading screen anymore upon reboot and nor can I seem to find a way to bring up a command line so I can hit up the Xorg.0.log to see what is wrong or change the xorg.conf file back to the original driver it had listed.
I am going to assume this is a missing driver or something else it hangs on but without being able to get access back to the system and having to rebuild it again (re-install via live CD) I am basically out of luck at this time. Sorry for the rather poor post but I do hope to receive some basic directions on where to go from here with this issue

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?

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?
