resolution Problem Ubuntu 10.4
Greetings Clugers, I am hopeful someone on the list can assist me with this issue. Hardware HP Workstation P4 Video Card Sapphire Radeon x300se Viewsonic led Monitor native resolution 1600x1200 Under Ubuntu 8.04 I had no graphics issues at all, running the ati radeon opensource driver resolution 1600x1200. Since I Upgraded to 10.4 I can only get 1200x1048 on the Viewsonic monitor. However If I plug in my old Sony I can choose 1600x1200. I spent hours reconfiguring xorg reading the man pages for xorg, and xrandr, all to no avail. Also googled extensively with out any workable answers Any help greatly appreciated Regards Chris T

In fact there must be a change in X if it is not working now and did in a previous edition. Look for the wrong/non existent edid in the log file.

Re: Identify all installed packages in Ubuntu?
Would the history log in Synaptic do the job? That's what I've used before for this purpose. - David On Sat, Jun 19, 2010 at 12:27 PM, Andrew Sands and...@theatrix.org.nzwrote: Guys, Google foo is not working well for me today, I know that I've seen a command to list out all packages that have been subsequently installed into an installation but it's a big fail bus on the results being returned. I need to know what I installed on the family 9.10 before upgrading to 10.04 LTS. Otherwise the signal-to-noise ratio will be real bad in my ear for the next week if I miss something out.

If you installed anything outside of your package manager (and then don't remember what it was) you deserve all the noise you're going to get. IIRC the command was dpkg -l It is probably not a good idea to just feed this list into the package installer of the new version, because some packages may have changed name, some may have been superseeded, so thinking is still needed.
