Bartosz, I rebooted after creating the one-line /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. It did not quite work. I got this error in a dialog box: "Ubuntu is runnign in low-graphics mode The following error was encountered. You may need to update your configuration to solve this.

I will now delete the file (returning things to the way they used to be since I used to have no such file at all) and will wait until there is a definite (or very likely) working solution before making any other changes so that I don't accidentally make things worse by experimenting.

Attached my xorg.conf, which worked for my resolution problems. It's quite basic and the HorizSync-line is set on a correct place. I'm not sure about the correct vRefresh-rate though (not sure about the HorizSync-rate either, as I understood, monitors have differences...) so you might want to remove that line. For you knowledge, if you will not set HorizSync and vRefresh in xorg.conf, and the system doesn't recognize the correct values for your monitor, the system uses default rates. I think HorizSync's default is very limited, something like.. what was it.. 35.0-36.0? ** Attachment added: "xorg.conf" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/37623850/xorg.conf -- [K8M800]Screen resolution used to be ok in Ubuntu 6, not in 8.04 and later https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/503674 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thank you Nelsson! I am however concerned that if I 'experiment' something might make the resolution worse or impossible..is there an expert out there (Nelsson or someone else who is expert in this area)? Should I just 1) take Nelsson's xorg.conf 2) delete the vRefresh-rate line then save and exit? or instead should I keep his file as is and it's 99% certain it won't make my monitor unusable? (The above is my main question..as secondary question: any clues why Dapper Drake worked perfectly with my monitor (or detecting it) while Hardy and now Koala don't? shouldn't this be a bug fixed for next version of Koala since Drake was able to understand my monitor?)

Hello Harel, perhaps you can update the driver using the third-party Xorg »edgers« driver repository. It’s a so-called PPA (personal package archive). I guess the Openchrome driver in there does not depend on a more recent Xorg, so install without dependency error. I can’t check. But you’ll see if it installs. To add the additional »Software Source« for »Xorg Edgers / drivers only« use this command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/drivers-only And then run a package update in the command line: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-openchrome Before you enter »Yes« you should look at what it proposes to install. You want to pull in the newer OpenChrome driver. It should only install that one package and maybe some necessary dependency. Afterwards you can disable this PPA source in the »Software Sources« dialog. Then reboot without an xorg.conf at /etc/X11/cong.conf. This is to test if it magically recognizes your monitor again. If that didn’t work then the newer driver didn’t help and you should use the manual config using Nelsson’s xorg.conf. Perhaps the option that Bartosz mentioned helps. I don’t know this driver and its options. -- [K8M800]Screen resolution used to be ok in Ubuntu 6, not in 8.04 and later https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/503674 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thank you everyone including Tobias, Nelsson, and Bartosz! !Before getting to Tobias' message I tried two experiments and apparently the second one worked! Remember I am completely unfamiliar with xconf and chrome etc, so I merely experimented blindly. Here is what I did: The experiment was only "half" blind since I had, first, Nelsson's post #13 with his xorg.conf and second, I had the warning from him that vertRefresh might not work. However I thirdly knew that I had an error message (as poreted in my message #11 above) when I tried to use "HorizSync 30.0-100.0" per Bartosz's earlier suggestion, and I saw that Nelsson's xorg.conf had that line..so I decided to try four experiments: 1) Try Nelsson's file with both the HorizSync line and the VertRefresh lines both BOTH commented out (I used google to learn that # works here as it does in some other areas) (begin) Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" Driver "openchrome" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor" # HorizSync 30.0-100.0 # VertRefresh 50-60 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Monitor "Configured Monitor" Device "Configured Video Device" EndSection (end) 2) Try Nelsson's file with only VertRefresh line commented out, but with HorizSync left in (begin paste) Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" Driver "openchrome" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor" HorizSync 30.0-100.0 # VertRefresh 50-60 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Monitor "Configured Monitor" Device "Configured Video Device" EndSection (end paste) I was worried about this because I had the earlier error (see post #11) when I left the HorizSync still there..but this seemed to work, so I did not try the other two experiements, which would have been 3) Leave in VertRefresh but comment-out the HorizSync and 4) leave in both. Details of what happened when I used 2) and then Restarted my computer: I did see something that (unless I was not paying enough attention in the past) was new, during the computer's lines of self-talk" while rebooting, and it was something like: "Filesystem check in progress" (and something about his ESC to stop) and some line with /(/dev/[other words here...] I am pretty sure it was like that a / then a ( and then / and then dev/ Then I got a very very very small display so I knew something changed..I was able to log in and used System-->preferences--->Display and found out it was set to 1680 by 1200 My monitor's official limit is 1024 by 768 (which is still much better than the 800x600 I have been stuck with) and fortunately that WAS available in the pulldown menu (unlike before this (fix?)) so I chose that and said YES when it asked me whether to "keep this confirguration" Then I re-started the computer again and looks like I am at 1024x768 still...good!

What do you experienced folks think? And my second question: Should I worry about that "filesystem check in progress" self-talk by my computer that first time I rebooted after changing the xorg.conf file? That's my last "pragmatic" question for now :-) My third and last question for now is: will this thread on launchpad automatically alert the people behind the next version of Ubuntu to try to make this automatic so no one will be in my shoes again?

[Bug 503674] Re: [K8M800]Screen resolution used to be ok in Ubuntu 6, not in 8.04 and later
Hi Bartosz, I tried to install as you suggested and got this error: " Package: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome Status: Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.6.99.900)" I hesitate to try to use a debugger unless there is one for complete NEWBIES. I am a very very basic user of linux..I had never, ever even heard of xorg etc before this error. The debugger is probably not for them then..do you agree? (of course if you tell me exactly what to do, line by line, step by step, then I can copy/paste whatever answers/errors I get, and post them here..but that might be too complicated?) So is there something a newbie can do who is not techie and not able to really use debuggers? And in the future, if you have another suggestion, if there is another new suggestion of lines to "add to the xorg.conf" file, could you please let me know what to add it to..right now I have a blank file, and I'm not sure if adding one to a blank file is what is intended or not..? -- [K8M800]Screen resolution used to be ok in Ubuntu 6, not in 8.04 and later https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/503674 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
