Ubuntu :: During Boot / Monitor Does Not Suppoert Requested Resolution
May 4, 2010
Just did the upgrade to 10.04,During boot I get lines and random numbers/letters in varied colors, After login screen appears and I log in, during the splash screen display a small info window appears in upper right corner says "Monitor does not support resolution requested. After my desktop comes up everything seems fine and I check the resolution and it is set to the monitor defaults. When I go look at x-org I find that both upgrade files have been backed up and the system is using my x.org-config from 7.10. Everything seems to be working fine at this time. But every boot up is the same. And I am unable to locate the file that is requesting a higher or lower resolution (/ect/default/grub) is empty and that is the only place I have found that even mentions boot up resolution problems. so far and Firefox is faster then it ever has been on this old machine Build 98' Upgraded 2003 and I don't remember what all I did, ASUS k8-mx motherboard with on board graphics, AMD Sempron CPU - HP w2007 Wide screen monitor supports 1680x1050 res
i used my windows box to connect to ftp(fed box) and i keep getting an error saying "The requested name is valid, but no data of the requested type was found." does anyone know why i cant connect?
just installed ubuntu10.04 has set monitor resolution to 800x600 i need 1920x1080 i have been at this for two days now and getting absolutely no where , i could set this on windows in 5 minutes , why does it need to be so hard on ubuntu, i really prefer ubuntu to windows but problems like this really can drive one to despair. i have tried so many different web sites and follow instructions but keep getting command not found which i dont understand why. here is an example of something i tried in terminal xrandr --output VGA --mode 1920�1080 --rate 50 i get warning: output VGA not found; ignoring.many other things i have tried come up with command not found .
I have a laptop with an "ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series" video device. I have trouble configuring the second VGA monitor attached to the laptop to 1024x768 resolution. It is always stuck on 2560x800. My xorg.conf file is as follows:
Just installed 11.04 on a box that it is on a kvm switch. As long as the switch is connecting the monitor to the booting Ubuntu box, the resolution of the monitor is detected OK. However, if for some reason I am working on a different box and the KVM switch is routing K V and M inputs to the other box, then Ubuntu defaults to what seems a botched VGA setting (i.e. it chops off top and left sections of the display).While in this "VGA" mode if I log out and log in, it re-detects the resolution ok.Is there any way to force Ubuntu to use a specific resolution no matter what? In this way, if I am working on a different box while waiting for Ubuntu to load, when I switch the resolution will be OK.I tried the only thing I can think of and this is to set the "good" resolution as "default" for "all" monitors, but it has no effect.
I was playing around with the NVidia settings control panel today and I saw that its Resolution dropdown was giving me options for
1680*1050 1920*1080
My monitor supports up to 1440*900. When I selected one of the higher resolutions, it didn't look very sharp, and the text was somewhat fuzzy and lacked clarity. Was this rendering being done by the graphics card but 'compressed' by the monitor?
The status said 'switched to metamode'. I tried searching but found nothing - what exactly does MetaMode mean? I'm more interested in understanding what was happening, only experimenting with the higher resolutions. What monitor and resolution do you have?
why both ubuntu and centos 5.4 will only give me 800x600 resolution on my monitor when opensolaris immediately gives me 1280x1024?The first time I tried ubuntu it gave me 1280x1024 and now will only make 800x600...This is a viewsonic VG930M Monitor..
so when ppl bring me their computer and i install them ubuntu in my monitor when they take their computer to their home ubuntu does not keep the screen resolution i set for them.
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 a 30" apple cinema display. The monitor handles up to 2560 x 1600 pixels which is the optimum resolution for this monitor. I found out that most apple monitors have nvidia graphic card.The monitor is hooked up to a motherboard Intel BOXDG45FC. This motherboard has Onboard Video Chipset Intel GMA 4500. However, using KDE interface I dont get beyond 1280x800 resolution for the monitor.How can I get the maximum resolution for the monitor?
I just switch from windows to use ubuntu 10.04. I am still learning how to set things in ubuntu. One of the problem is that I can't set my secondary (external) display to my favorite one. I have 22'' screen (max 1680x1050) but I love to set it to 1280x800. I follow instruction from this website https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution and my display detail is like this code...
Somehow, I get the new mode in LVDS1 but not in VGA1. How could I add this new mode in VGA1?
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..
I just switched monitors to a Viewsonic VX2025 and I am unable to get beyond 1280 x 1024 using the nvidia x server settings. My graphics card is a GeForce 5200. These are connected with a DVI plug. I would like to be able to set my resolution to 1920 x 1080. (Also, the card and monitor worked at 1920 x 1080 in a previous windows machine.)
I have done a fair bit of searching and it appears that my issue is either the x configuration file or EDID. After 2 days of working with this it's gotten confusing to say the least. So, I'm looking to see if others have had a similar problem and how to solve it. I have not altered an x config file before, so not exactly sure of where to begin.
The image on my external monitor is blurry. the resolution is right, but the Monitors menu shows the monitor to be a 20" while it is actually a 19". So this may be a hint. I would like to know how to adjust the monitor size (if possible). How can this be done? I am running 10.4 on a dell precision 4400, connecting with the monitor via VGA.
I'm not sure if this is the right category to ask for help but here it goes:I have a laptop with ubuntu 10.04x64 and i have bought recently a samsung xl2370 which has a max resolution of 1080p but the maximum resolution my laptop recognizes is 1440x900 is there any way to solve this?
Sometimes, randomly, when turning on my Ubuntu laptop (HP 6730b, Ubuntu 10.04) I get a wrong monitor setting (much lower resolution than normal) and it is not possible to set it correctly because the menu buttons are wrongly placed and some are not present (probably there is not enough room for them) I have no other way than to restart the system to get the right resolution. Can someone tell me this inexplicable (to me) behaviour? Of course I didn't change anything in monitor settings...
Ubuntu Desktop 10.10 boots with disconnected monitor with a screen resolution of 1024x786 ... which in fact is great - other distributions won't even boot ...
How can I change this resolution? ... cause I'am operating my system via VNC and preferably set it to something higher.
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.
i'm trying to set the resolution to 1440 x 900 on ubuntu manually since it's not being showed under the options. I've followed this tutorial [URL] The problem is that i don't have the output name to add on this command (as you can see below under the xrandr command.:
xrandr --addmode XXXXX 1440x900 xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 240, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768 default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm
I have a old Pentium III box with equally old monitor (It says LG Sutdioworks 45v).I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.I have found it difficult to setup my screen resolution. It shows by default 800x600.After some tweaking I can stretch upto 832x624.I have seen resolution up to 1024x768 in windows on the same box and same monitor.How can I improve the resolution?I have searched and found out that i need a xorg.conf setup as Ubuntu cant identify my monitor properly.I also installed ddcprobe, read-edid.However I have met with limited success.
I have a problem with my graphics (exactly this one: [URL] I've got an Intel 845G chipset and a LG Flatron F900P monitor.A friend of mine convinced me to try ubuntu and I installed the 10.10 version. Everything (except the monitor's resolution) works all right.
My computer is: IBM Net Vista 8305-21G Chipset: FRU PN 49P1599 (Intel 845G)
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.
CHECK OUT THIS THREAD INSTEAD: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...93#post8937093 I got a problem with my xorg.conf file. I'm just not able to add display resolutions. I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 x86 with Xfce4 desktop enivorment. I got an old Nvidia 6600 GT. I'm on a 21" IBM CRT, and i know that it's good for 2048x1536 @ 75hz.
I know that it can handle 30-130 khz Horizontal and 40-170 hz Vertical.
I also know that i would like to be able to use 1600x1200 @ 85hz.
Right now I'm just not able to go past 1024x768 @ 50hz. I've installed the restricted nvidia driver from the popup restricted driver menu, also tried to downgrade to an earlier driver, did'nt work, then i upgraded again to the newest driver that was easily available through Envyng-gtk. Still no more resolution choiches.
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg just don't work. Nothing happens when i write it in the terminal.
Since a fresh install of lynx, I've been having problems trying to get my resolution of 1366x768 to fit properly onto my monitor, regardless of what I try, the screen does not fit completely inside the monitor, and I have to pan around to view the entire desktop.
I haven't had problems with this in previous versions of ubuntu. I've tried all the nvidia driver versions in the repository, as well as the latest from nvidia itself and they all do the same thing.
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.

Sometimes when starting applications, especially with Wine, the screen resizes to a much lower resolution. Sometimes when I close the application & usually when it crashes/I have to kill it, the screen stays at that much lower resolution. To get my normal 1900*1200 resolution back I have to delete all the applets I've put in the top menu bar to for there to be enough space for the menu to appear for me to select System>Prefs>Monitors.How can I prevent an application from altering my resolution & just force it to run windowed, or at a higher resolution?
I have connected to the VGA output of my laptop a 19" monitor. I setted in Ubuntu the resolution for that monitor to 1280x1024.
Two days ago i connected the laptop to a projector. When Ubuntu detected the projector it ask me for my user password to change "i dont know what".
After using the projector I have connected the laptop to the 19" monitor again. Now I can not set the resolution for the monitor to 1280x1024 (that resolution doesn't appear in the list)....
I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a new system. The system is not showing correct resolution in the grub menu and the splash screen is black, until I reach the logon screen.Screen resolution, and video rendering after booting is picture-perfect.I presume this is a bug of the sort "VBE does not support 1920x1080 wide screen resolution".Or, maybe I am missing some point.I hope there must be some workaround.
