Re: screen resolution
David, I have had a look at various lists, forums, etc to find information for you. The general advice is to install the following files (1) build-essential, (2) linux-headers-2.6.24-19, (3) kernel package as well as Linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-19-generic. Some or all of these files you may already have installed. It seems to me that something either was not downloaded or not configured. Another suggestion was to use envyng-gtk which you will find in the repositories. That will identify what driver you need and remove old files and configure the driver.

Re: screen resolution
Hello Gordon, David and list members, Something went awry with the list messages this morning. I did not post anything about resolution difficulties. That was David. I have been trying to help him and suggested in the first instance exactly what you had proposed, Gordon. Unfortunately, the way Google mail is set up it is easy to press the reply button and you end up off-list and that is what happened in this instance. David has not yet resolved his display difficulties. The nvidia-glx-new file had not been installed. That has been rectified. There are still no choices to change resolution. David, try sudo displayconfig-gtkand see if you can change resolution in that screenand can you tell me which kernel you are booting from type uname -r If anyone else has any ideas, please join in.

I completed a clean install of Ubuntu 8.04. In Screen Resolution settings there is no option to select the native resolution of 1280x1024 for my 19" LCD monitor. The listed resolutions only go up to 1280x800. My graphics controller is an Intel 82865G. Any help is appreciated! -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
