Ubuntu :: Resolution Change At Startup?

Feb 21, 2010

I'm running Karmic with an NVIDIA GeForce 6600, normally at 1280x1024. Just during the past week, the resolution has started spontaneously changing to 1024x768, just after I type the password to login. I get the Ubuntu splash screen with the animated light thingy underneath, then the screen flickers and it goes to 1024x768. I have tried changing driver but this has no effect.

I then have to change it manually using the Nvidia X Server settings utility, which is fine. I can then save X settings into /etc/x11/xorg.conf but next startup it does exactly the same again. I have seen a lot of posts in which Ubuntu leaves users stuck in a low res, or even tries to put them into an unsupported res, but nothing quite like this. Is there a Gnome setting somewhere that defines screen res at startup??

Ubuntu :: Force Different Screen Resolution At Startup?

May 11, 2011

I recently started using Ubuntu 11.04. Everything works fine with my monitor directly connected to the computer. I get a default screen resoluton of 1680 x 1050, which is just fine.

However, when I connect the screen through a video splitter to be able to use a beamer, the screen resolution defaults to 1024x768. Moreover, Ubuntu then detects an unknown monitor and I cannot select a higher resolution.

I searched for modifications of xrandr en xorg.conf but I have to admit I don't understand what I've read. So my question remains: how can I force Ubuntu 11.04 to start with a screen resololution of 1680 x 1050 (without first connecting monitor only, that is).

I hereby add some information I retrieved with the screen connected without the splitter, so you can see what hardware is involved.

Code:
dirk@LaboFysica:~$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 8192 x 8192
VGA1 connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 474mm x 296mm
1680x1050 60.0*+
1280x1024 75.0 60.0

[Code].....

Ubuntu :: Startup Screen Resolution For A Widescreen ?

Jul 22, 2010

I am running linuxmint . Trying to configure my start-up resolutions using the Startup Manager. But they only offer 4:3 resolutions. (My screen is a widescreen, 1600 by 900). So I could check the 1600 x 1200 option but that is not the correct resolution. And I get a reminder from my screen that the resolution is wrong.

Ubuntu :: Changed Graphics Resolution In STARTUP MANAGER ?

Jan 17, 2010

I just stupidly changed my graphics resolution in System - Preferences - Startup Manager, now i dont get a login window or anything just a black screen. I also disabled the splash but i assume this just gets rid of the ubuntu loading line thingy?

The weird thing is that the resolution was set to 640x800 or something like that in the Startup Manager as default and the laptom im using (an old Toshiba Amilo P4) supports 1024x768. the System - Preferences - Display menu wouldnt let me change any display settings which is why i was messing about here. I havent got any backed up x org file and only a live usb of super os/ubuntu - no cd or floppy drive.

Ubuntu :: Startup Splash Gone Bung - Lower Resolution

Sep 17, 2010

This is some thing that I've noticed with any install of Ubuntu whether its regular Ubuntu or Kubuntu etc. The splash that comes up with the distro name Ubuntu/Kubuntu on start up look perfectly fine and as it should until I've installed my Nvidia drivers. then it goes all bung.

Lower Resolution. Slightly different colouring and Not taking up the whole screen. Sometimes it even sits slightly to the right.

Is there a way that I can fix this? I know its nothing all that major but it would be nice if it looked as its meant to.

Ubuntu :: Increasing Monitor Resolution To Startup Menu

Jan 24, 2011

I have followed this post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...lay+resolution And when I restart it goes back to having the edge of my window (scrollbar) cut off. I added the increase_resolution.sh to my startup menu but I guess I don't know the command to MAKE it start at startup. (That is what "command" means in the "Edit startup program" menu, correct?) If I go into usr/local/bin and click run it works, but if I can execute it automatically, that would be great.

Also, I have added an account(?) for my daughter and when she is finished and I try to log her out the display goes nuts and does not correct itself. I assume it has to do with this since when I restart the machine (and the script isn't running) the picture is fine again. Is there a conflict between the two accounts and this script? I'm sorry if this is not making sense, I know what I want to say, but don't have the lingo/jargon down.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Force Monitor Resolution At Startup?

May 4, 2011

I started using Ubuntu 11.04 today.
Everything works fine with my monitor directly connected to the computer. I get a default screen resoluton of 1600 x 1280, which is just fine.

However, when I connect the screen through a video splitter to be able to use a beamer, the screen resolution defaults to 1024x768. Moreover, Ubuntu then detects an unknown monitor.

I recall that I have solved this problem before with an older version of Ubuntu.
Now it seems that there is no xorg.conf anymore so I don't know what to do.

How can I force Ubuntu 11.04 to start with a screen resololution of 1600 x 1280.

Ubuntu :: Use StartUp-Manager To Increase The Resolution Of The GRUB Menu?

Aug 5, 2010

I was wanting to use StartUp-Manager to increase the resolution of the GRUB menu and the boot logo screen. Changing the resolution for the GRUB menu works fine. But the Ubuntu logo that should show up during the boot process is all scrambled across the screen. I tried multiple resolutions to fix it and none of them work. How do I restore everything back to their defaults? I tried putting the numbers all back to where they where when I first ran StartUp-Manager but that didn't fix it.

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.3 Resolution, No Textmodus Possible At Startup?

Jan 12, 2011

I use normally opensuse 11.1. This days I installed the 11.3. Since I have installed it, the resolution is higher and the fonts are very small. I have some problems with my eyes, so I prefer to use text mode for startup and console. So now I dont know how I can get back to start system in textmode 80x25. suse seem to ignore every command I enter I tried in Yast grub settings to set there Text mode. I tried to add command vga-normal vga-0xF00. Nothing changes it. There is maybe a bug. Whay is the standard resulotion in 11.3 so high ? The installation works in textmode, but after first start it goes up.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: 11.2 - Sometimes Picks Wrong Resolution On Startup

Feb 25, 2010

I'm running OpenSuSE 11.2 with an Nvidia GeForce 8200 on board graphics card and am running the drivers installed from the file NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.53-pkg1.run which I obtained from the Nvidia web site. I also have this vga directive on the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst vga=0x346 Yet, sometimes when the system starts up it will go into 640x480 mode instead of 1680x1050. If I shutdown and restart a few times it will eventually come up in the proper resolution.

Ubuntu :: How To Change Tty Resolution

Mar 21, 2010

Ok, I'm sick of Grub2. It's a total mess that is needlessly complicated in the worst fashion imaginable. (Yes, I've read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2, it doesn't help.) I can't understand Grub2 developers thinking (maybe they're aliens?) and, quite frankly, I just don't care anymore. how to change resolution for textmode terminals (tty1, tty2, ...)? I don't want to read any more [censored] about gfxpayload and how it's supposed to work. Please don't respond if you can't provide an example config that simply just works.

[Edit/SOLVED]: No longer an issue in Lucid Lynx for me. See this HOWTO. Note that 1280x1024 isn't the only option. You can use any resolution supported by VBE of your video card. Use vbeinfo command in Grub shell to see the list of available display modes.

Ubuntu :: Can't Log In After Resolution Change / Enable This?

Jan 20, 2010

I just installed ubuntu 9.10 32-bit on my parents computer. My dad was having this weird problem where it would only randomly allow him to log in every few tries. Let's say every 1 out of 12 tries.

I believe I have figured what is keeping him from logging in. Only on his user is there an issue with logging in. Only on his desktop have I turned the screen resolution down. From 1152 to 1024.

The usual sequence goes like this -
- I choose his user
- I enter his correct password
- It appears to be logging in, half the log in sound happens and the splash screen runs for 6 or so seconds
- The splash screen flickers between a 1152 and 1024 resolution
- Reverts back to the log in screen, his desktop is never visible.

any ideas on how to fix this? The computer in question is a Compaq Presario circa 2000-2001 if that makes any difference. I have not looked into the video card make yet

Ubuntu :: Cannot Change Resolution On Console

Jul 20, 2010

I have been running Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop just about since it came out.Prior to that I was running 9.10 on the same laptop. I was so happy with 9.10 I thought I could only be happier with 10.04.I was wrong.There are some things about 9.10 that I have *lost* in the transition to 10.04.These bother me quite a bit so much so that I have repeatedly considered going back to 9.10.Please keep in mind this all worked fine under 9.10 on exactly the same hardware.

1) When I connect the external VGA port on my laptop to my 32 Samsung TV it comes up as a 40 Samsung TV and it is impossible to set the correct resolution.This makes watching TV over the Internet via my notebook impossible (I used to use URL... and others).

2) I cannot change the resolution on the console (the TTY's 1 to 6). It used to come up as standard old fashioned VGA (80 columns by 25 rows of text) but now it is much smaller font and much larger console.The VGA= in GRUB does nothing. And this is the only suggestion I seem to be able to find. From my reading most people seem to like the large console w/ small font.I dislike it for the reason I will get into next

3) DOSEMU locks up my computer with a blank screen when running in super mode on the console.Pressing Ctrl+Alt+F# accomplishes nothing and either does Ctrl+Alt+Del.I have to press and hold the power button forcing a hard shutdown (at least this is the only solution I have found).

Ubuntu :: Can't Change Screen Resolution / Do That?

Aug 10, 2010

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.

Ubuntu :: Can't Change Screen Resolution Itself

Feb 14, 2011

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.

Ubuntu :: Can't Change Screen Resolution

Mar 13, 2011

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.

Ubuntu :: Screen Resolution Will Not Change / What To Do?
