[Bug 49827] Re: 1280x800 resolution isn't detected
GreatBunzinni, could you try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg", select your video driver, select resolution 1280x800, and then restart? This worked for me. I had to select the SiS driver instead of "VESA" which it was defaulted to. Is this a mis-detection of the card? ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-vga (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: xserver-xorg-video-vga => xorg -- 1280x800 resolution isn't detected https://launchpad.net/bugs/49827 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Confirmed. Same behavior on Acer Aspire 3003WLMi. Not specific to NVidia cards. Problem affects widescreen laptops.

After some tweaking done on the xorg.conf file I've managed to configure the natural 1280x800 screen resolution. To achieve that I did the following changes: Added the following to the "device" section: Option "IgnoreEDID" "0" Commented out the following from the "Monitor" section: HorizSync VertRefresh After reading NVidia's forum I've also commented out the following from the "modules" section: Load "dri" So now I have a nice and easy on the eyes 1280x800 resolution. Now the only problem is that I am stuck with the huge 101dpi fonts. Is it possible to change them to something a bit more sensible, i.e., smaller? -- 1280x800 resolution isn't detected https://launchpad.net/bugs/49827 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
