it will NEVER let me change the screen resolution to 1440x900. It never gives me the option. I then spend hours looking for fixes, making Xconf files and editing them to no avail. The same is true for Fedora 15 (Beta). what can i do to get the 1440x900 option in my "Display" list in Fedora.

New install of 5.4 and I have a dell S1909W display that runs 1440x900. I don't run a windowed environment and only use CLI. I am only getting 25 lines per screen with huge text and I need to set the resolution so I can actually work :) I tried adding vga=866 to my /boot/grub/menu.lst file at the end of the kernel line but nothing changes after reboot.

After upgrading to 11.04, my screen resolution was reset to 1024x768. As the native resolution for my monitor is 1920x1080, I went to reset that. The resolution didn't exist in the Monitors applications, so I did the following:
Code:
kane@Griffin:~$ cvt 1920 1080 60
# 1920x1080 59.96 Hz (CVT 2.07M9) hsync: 67.16 kHz; pclk: 173.00 MHz
Modeline "1920x1080_60.00" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync
[Code].....
The monitor adjust, but most of the screen shows tearing and doesn't update correctly. Hard to explain, so I attached a screenshot at 1024x768, working normally, and 1920x1080, fubar. I've cropped these images to get them to fit the forum limitations, but they still show the issue.
My monitor is an LG Flatron W2253TQ, my graphics card is an ATI Radeon HD 4650, although the manufacturer is Biostar. I'm using the default free drivers.

After installing Debian for the first time earlier today, I tried to setup my display for a 1440x900 resolution. However, the "Monitor Preferences" setting won't allow me to set a resolution higher than 1280x1024.

I am wanting to try to change my normal user (bbq) to a different screen size within my secondary user (lfs). I was wondering how one would do that.
This happened when OpenClonk changed my screen resolution and when i changed it back my screen blacked out (and me being the idiot save it).
Debian 8 GNOME
Also (a bit unrelated) could a video card problem cause a user to log out? I have been having some severe problems with my monitor and I am thinking it is th video card. Sometimes when I am starting a program my monitor will lose connection to my computer (HDMI signal not found) and I will either have to wait a few seconds and it will turn on or it will just stay blacked out.

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..

I run RHEL5 on Dell GX280 with "Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 04)" and i810 driver. But I cannot obtain 1440x900 resolution. Here's my xorg.conf:

I've been loitering over my resolution and nvidia xserver settings for about 2 days now, fiddling with xorg.conf and breaking ubuntu in the process trying to get my resolution at it's native settings. I've searched through many forums and none of them have solved my problem. Its maximum resolution is 1360x768, which isn't enough. It should be 1440x900. I have tried adding custom modes to the xorg.conf file and it wouldn't work. I don't know what's going on. Also here is my xorg.conf since I saved the nvidia settings to it...

I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my Dell Latitude D610 (with ATI X300 graphics card) and am trying to set the default resolution to 1440x900 for my Samsung Syncmaster 931 monitor. I have installed "fglrx" and when I run "xrandr -q" I get the following information.
Code:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1440 x 1440
VGA-0 connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 410mm x 257mm
1440x900 59.9 + 75.0
1280x1024 75.0 60.0
[Code]....
Other posts say I need to edit "etc/x11/xorg.conf" but this file does not appear to exist.

After having problems with an onboard graphics chipset I've just installed an ATI Radeon 128Mb 9000 Pro AGP graphics card into my old computer... The problem is that I can't get it to use 1440x900 resolution that my LG L194WT (Ubuntu won't detect it) requires and the highest I can select is 1360x768 and that looks all wrong
lspci gives:
Code:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV250 If [Radeon 9000] (rev 01)
01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV250 [Radeon 9000] (Secondary) (rev 01)
And /var/log/Xorg.0.log gives:
Code:
X.Org X Server 1.7.6
Release Date: 2010-03-17
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0

My monitor's dvi jack is damaged so my nvidia geforce 210 does not recognise the supported resolutions correctly.
result: while it actually can support upto 1440x900, the highest available resolution is 1360x768.
While on windows, i used the nvidia utility to add the custom resolution and everything was nice.
On ubuntu 10.04, i haven't found a way to do that yet. yes, i searched forums, tried a couple of things with the xorg.conf file and lxrandr, etc. but to no avail.
I did manage to get the resolution listed in ubuntu's own display manager, and it shows 1440x900, but it doesn't apply when i hit 'apply'.
The nvidia settings manager does not show the resolution.

I'm trying to use GRUB2 in graphical mode with 1440x900 resolution, but the result is always garbled nonsense: the highest resolution I can get is 1280x800.
Word is from googling that long as vbeinfo lists a resolution, GRUB2 can use it. This doesn't seem to be true: vbeinfo says that 1440x900 is available but it doesn't work.
Testing it from the GRUB2 command line:
set gxfmode=1440x900
terminal_output gfxterm
# -> garbled nonsense
# back to trusty 640x480
terminal_output console

I'm very new to Ubuntu and have 9.04 running on a Sony Vaio, don't know what graphics card I have. My screen resolution doesn't have an option higher than 800x600, so everything looks super zoomed in. Other threads tell me to edit xorg.conf, which I did (probably incorrectly). The result was the computer had mega problems when I restarted it, and when it finally got back to the desktop it didn't give me any other options for screen resolution. Also it says I'm in low graphics mode.

I recently upgraded my desktop pc from 10.04 to 10.10 and ran into a tad of trouble. After I attempted to login from the GDM, something caused the system to crash and return to the GDM. So, I got my laptop out, did some googling, and decided to delete ~/.config/monitors.xml to try and reset the resolution. That got me to the Desktop, at which point I was greeted by more display issues.
The point at which the computer normally goes idle seems to crash and return it to the GDM as well. Needless to say, I disabled the idling/password prompt setting to prevent crashes every five minutes. Anyway, the prevailing problem is that I can't change the resolution itself -- as that seems to cause the same issue.

I've recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 on an old Dell computer I have. Everything seems to work fine, but I can't seem to change the screen resolution. In the monitor Preferences it says Monitor:Unknown. It's stuck on 1600x1200 and I'd like it to be closer to 1024x768
I've tried changing the xorg.conf file to no avail. I've been browsing for 3 days now looking for a solution.
[URL] These are my specs if it helps any, ignore the windows installation info because I have it installed alongside ubuntu.

I cannot get my screen resolution to change from 1600x1200. This is a new install of Ubuntu 10.10 and the desired option ( 1024x768 ) is listed under System/Preferences/Monitors. Changing the resolution and clicking Apply results in a screen refresh, but the resolution remains at 1600x1200.
I have gone through just about every tutorial and thread I can find, but nothing works. Here is some relevant information I have gathered code...

Just Installed the latest version of Ubuntu Netbook on my Toshiba Portege 7200 and the screen resolution is set to 800x600. The OS is not recognizing the fact the laptop can do 1024x768. I've been searching the net for a few hours to fix the problem and I'm not getting anywhere. The fix to the problem is to add the info below to the Xorg.conf file. This file does not seem to exsist on the latest version and if I create it manually it does not work.
# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)

I cannot change the screen resolution down from 1680x1024 (or whatever the default is). Sometimes the task bar disappers, or I get a 'split-screen' effect. I have low vision. I need the old 1024x768 resolution.
I have tried Ubuntu, and many of it's derivatives eg, Linux Mint, Ultimate Edition, and yesterday with Zorin, that seems to be getting good reviews at the moment, and they all have the same problem. Older versions of 'buntu did not have this problem, only 10.04 and 10.10.
I have a standard desk-top pc - Pentuim IV using the on-board Intel graphics, and a Dell monitor.
This is VERY frustrating. Ubuntu is very common and widely-used. The only solutions I can find on the 'net have to do with reconfiguring the X11/xorg file, except there isn't one anymore. This is ridiculous. It should just work. Suse Linux and PCLinuxOS work on my hardware. Why not Ubuntu? By the way, I am not a newbie. I have been using Linux for the last six years, experimenting with different distro's.
If someone could shed some light on this, I would be most grateful. I don't believe I'm the only person who has had this problem, but there is very little infornmation on it.

Ever since I installed Debian, my monitor keep saying: "Input Signal Out of Range Change Settings to 1600x900 - 60Hz". So I thought it a problem of the screen resolution, so I have been trying to edit my xorg.conf file, but it doesn't seem to work at all. And this is my settings.

I am using HP Mini 1000 Series with Ubuntu 10.10 (later installed with xubuntu-desktop). I want to run a wine application which requires 800x600 resolution. However, my current resolution is 1024x576. The other available solution is 640x480. Previously, I used pre-installed Windows XP, it allows me to change the resolution to 800x600 by clicking the "List All Modes" button at the display setting, then I can choose the 800x600 resolution. So, I think HP Mini is also able to support 800x600 screen resolution. May I know how can I do it in Ubuntu?
