I have an NVIDIA video card attached to my LG plasma TV by vga cable. My display is offset slightly with some of the left-most and top-most area of the screen out of range with an equal amount of black/unused screen to the bottom and right. Is there a way for me to recalibrate my display to correct for this?

Using xrandr to set resolution at 1366x768, I get the right dot pitch but the screen is still 800x600 px wide, left-top aligned on a 1366x768 display, so that I see a 168px black belt on bottom and a 566 black belt on the right. A vertical screen offset of 168 px affects also the pointer (touchpad) in the following way - I can move and see the pointer arrow all the display wide including the black region, but input (click) is taken for a position 168 px above the pointer visible position.
This is happening after having used the laptop with an external projector and gtkwhiteboard (wiimote based infrared pointer management). I then removed gtkwhiteboard to no effect.Everything works fine when booting in failsafeX, recovery mode. Here is output of uname -a

I have just spent hours upgrading 10.10 to 11.04 Natty and when I rebooted at the end, all I'm getting is a small box on screen saying OUT OF RANGE.
I do not have grub or windows or anything else to boot into, ubuntu was my main system, what can I do?
I have just tried another monitor and get the same thing.
Is there anyway I can boot in safe mode or something?
I am able to boot PC with a live CD (Karmic) but cant acess most of my files because I am not the owner apparently? Cant change permissions either?
Is there a way I can change something using the live CD so that Natty will boot properly?
I just installed 10.10 on my dell e1505 laptop. it has an ati radeon x1400 video card. this is my first time using linux on this pc. anyways my problem is that the laptop screen looks a little soft or slightly out of focus. its also very slightly stretched...but just barely. almost to the point you dont notice unless you are looking for it. now i also have an external monitor and it looks perfect. ive tried changing the monitor resolution but it doesnt help and sometimes it makes both screens flicker like its having a seizure! i forgot to mention that sometimes when opening an app or installing an app. the external monitor goes black for a few seconds. the laptop monitor doesnt though.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have Ubuntu (running Jolicloud) on my HP dv2000 laptop, connected to my Sony AV Receiver through HDMI to use the TV as an external monitor. However, the resolution seems to be slightly off as the outer edges of the screen are cut off. Is there a way to fix this by editing the xorg.conf file? My current setup is below. I tried adding the line "Virtual 1244 700" to the subsection "display", but when I restarted it threw me into low graphics mode. Is there anything else I can try?
I also tried setting up the resolution at 1920x1080 on the TV and kept the default resolution on the monitor as 1280x800, and as you would expect displays the entire desktop in a smaller version on part of the tv. However, the desktop is still offset, leaving the top and left margins cut off. So, perhaps I need a way to offset the screen? Is this possible in xorg.conf?
I tried the new flash 10.2 beta in the hopes that they actually improved things, but it doesn't seem like they have.

3) My video is still offset and shifted on players like ....., probably due to screen resolution.
Using Ubuntu Maverick and Totem, DVD playback has a slightly shaky picture and a little static at the top and bottom of the picture. Also, top level menus sometimes don't display, or the menu displays but movie won't play, or just nothing happens when trying to play a DVD movie. This problem is happening on two completely different boxes with clean installs. DVD playback seemed OK on Kubuntu and Xubuntu 10.10, as was OK on 10.04. Is this a known issue? And if so, is there a patch?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI built a new system with an Intel i5 and ASUS P8H-67-M LX motherboard that uses the Sandy Bridge chip set for video. It is a recent version without the original bugs. I use a 24" monitor, VisionQuest(Plain Tree Systems) and it supports 1920 * 1200. In System Settings > Monitor Preferences I confirm the resolution as 1920 * 1200. The Monitor is detected properly.
Drop down windows, such as my Firefox bookmarks drop below the bottom of the screen, without any scroll bars. I can drag the mouse pointer below the bottom edge of the screen. It disappears. In contrast, on my older system with Ubuntu 10.04 the mouse pointer will never totally disappear. The top tip remains.
It is like Ubuntu, when rendering the display, thinks I have something like a 1920 * 1280 screen, and everything in that bottom 80 vertical just falls off. Seems like a bug, and maybe a simple one to fix.
I have reloaded windows xp and now after installing ubuntu latest version, I get a boot menu that gives options. if I select the Ubuntu option, within a few seconds(2)the monitor shows "out of range"! However it is possible to get a command prompt from this menu,(Grub)by pressing "C" then Tab, which lists about 30 commands! But I cannot find what command will overide the ubuntu boot display setting! yet if it is possible in the disc boot F6 menu, then it follows that it must be possible in the hard disk boot menu? (ie nomodeset available on the disk F6, so using F6-nomodeset on the disk allows me to install or run from the disk, which then runs perfectly) Only I cannot make changes in the Ubuntu live that runs direct from the disk, to the installation on the hard drive. My Monitors Max is 75hz 1280x1024, LCD. And although not the latest model, Its still relatively current. Windows from the boot menu works fine.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been having some trouble configuring my Nvidea GT 430 with my LCD TV. When I specify the larger resolutions like 1920x1080, there is always one inch trimmed off around edge. First using Linux Mint 10 LXDE, I booted with the new graphics card in. Without loading any drivers, I was able to select 800x600 or 640x480 and those had an inch of black around the screen. I installed the proprietary Drivers and then the screen was cut off a bit on the edges and the text was so tiny i couldn't see anything.
I then tried Linux Mint 11 Gnome. The text was readable, but still couldn't get the screen to match the TV edges correctly. I think it is a problem with my TV as this happens in windows and Linux. My TV is older and doesn't allow me to resize the screen within its menus. However, in windows I am able to use the Nvidea tools to resize my resolution to a custom size. It turned about to be about 1800x1020. I only really like using windows unless I absolutely have to though.. Is there a way to manually resize the display area in the xorg.config file? or any other workaround?
Why is it on Ubuntu/Maverick that my display insists on going BLANK after a certain period of computer inactivity EVEN THOUGH I have NO screensaver functions set and the put screen to sleep function in power management is set to NEVER and ALL functions in BIOS are all set to not have display go into suspend mode ?

View 4 Replies View RelatedRecently I install ubuntu 10.10 on my Sony Vaio laptop. After the CD boot I always got a black screen, after a week i figured that there's nothing wrong, it's just the screen doesnt show up on my laptop's screen. So I use an external monitor and It showed up as normal.
But I need to have it show up on my laptop's screen. I tried to use "additional driver" to activate latest Nvidia driver but after that even my external monitor doesnt work too. Latest driver doesnt work properly i guess. I did try to install older driver version manually but after I turned of gdm, install driver and reboot, my ubuntu always starts with tty1 command terminal. tried ctrl+alt+7 but it stucked at (checking battery state), startx doesnt help me return to graphical screen too.
I got help from a moderator here but the best result so far is to edit my /etc/default/grub. Change
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset"
Sudo update-grub
after the reboot I have it shows up on my laptop's screen. But it seems low-bit color,a bit grand to me(compared to external monitor, both w/o driver). Anw i checked system/preference>monitor . It showed up that my monitor:unknown. I can't choose other resolutions, refresh rate = 0.

In Ubuntu 11.04, all windows display larger than the available screen size, and I haven't found a way to make them fit within the display area of the monitor. This is a Dell 19" flat screen monitor, and I've tried changing the display; no matter what resolution is selected, the windows all bleed past the screen.

My thought is that the tv it has a resolution of 1920x1080 and this is causing the issue. i have this in my xorg.conf:
Code: Select allSection "Screen"

I want to change the default behavior of my display hotkey combo (Fn+F7). I can do this in KDE, but in Gnome, the gnome-settings-daemon cycles through the options. Problem is, the option I want is not there. I want the laptop display on the right and the external display on the left. I know how to use xrandr to change this or to use System > Preferences > Display, but I want to use my hotkey combo. I see two ways to do this. Find the configuration file that selects the options that are cycled and manually edit it, or disable this hotkey combo for the gnome-settings-daemon and use my own script in /etc/acpi/actions, etc/acpi/events for the hotkey combo. Currently the gnome-settings-daemon intercepts the hotkey combo, so I can't use my own script. Anyone know anything about this, or do I need to file a bug report?

I got out my old Fuji Finepix s3100 and set it to web cam mode to see if anything had changed in the world of usb video drivers. Lo and behold it worked! I can watch myself on cheese web cam booth. kewl, but I wanted more. So, just recently hearing about chatroulette on the Daily Show, I click and wahla no go . After flash comes up and asks for and receives user permission to access my hardware, I click to find a random stranger, and my camera displays yellow and blue lines across its onscreen display box. I notice that movement is noticed by the camera. If I move I notice a change in background/lines. As far as I can tell, my camera is not a fault. I mean it works for local viewing. Is this a flash or possibly a chatroulette problem?

I have recently upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10. However the bottom of the screen is cut off with only a trace of it visible. I had similar problems with version 10.04 where both and top and bottom of the screen were not displayed.
I have noticed that version 10.10 does not use the proprietry driver the previous versions used.
In desparation I have tried Kubuntu but the results are still much the same.
Does anyone have any idea how I can display a full screen with an Nvidia integrated graphics controller.
I have just installed a GeForce 8400 GS card in my Ubuntu 10.10 with the Nvidia proprietary driver( version number: 260.19.21).
The Display is connected to the desktop through an HDMI cable and the resolution is 1920 x 1080 .
After some trouble(Black Screens), almost everything is ok.
The only problem is the screen that is extrapolating the Display Boundaries.
I have tried to set it through the nvidia configuration program without success.
Is there any parameter in Xorg.conf that could resolve this issue?
