RE: [Bug 3731] Re: Xorg resolution falling back to 640x480 and/or 800x600 when h/v freqs incorrect
I had a seemingly unsolveable problem with a Dell laptop screen not being recognised properly under the binary Nvidea driver that was fixed by some kind contributer uploading a EDID file to these support forums and then telling X to use that. Problem fixed. I suggest a database be created of troublesome displays and corresponding EDID files if this shows some promise to resolve some issues. -original message- Subject: [Bug 3731] Re: Xorg resolution falling back to 640x480 and/or 800x600 when h/v freqs incorrect From: Chris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 20/10/2007 17:16 Changing Gutsy screen resolutions does not work on my computer. Gutsy incorrectly chooses 1920x1440 at 61Hz and although I see options to change such, when I click "apply" nothing happens. The screen resolution I need is 1152x864. I did hope that Ubuntu would finally work this time around, but no. I now have a coaster with Ubuntu Gutsy on it. Oh well.

It is fixable - you need to edit your xorg.conf file. There will be instructions somewhere - probably on the wiki. > The screen resolution I need is 1152x864.

@Tony, Your edid seems to be correct, and X should use it without problems. Video mode setting code for the OS splash screen is in the kernel, and we hope it will be solved when (and if) the mode setting code is moved to the kernel. Regardless of that, current kernel code could be patched, but I'm not currently looking into that. -- Xorg resolution falling back to 640x480 and/or 800x600 when h/v freqs incorrect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/3731 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a subscriber of a duplicate bug. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

I remember that after installing the crt was in the 1024 x 768 mode (after a restart) I played with the "desktop effects" and switched those off again. After some time the crt switched spontaneously to 800 x 600 and in the menu only this mode and 640 x 480 was available. The "xresprobe install" solved the problem for some reason I don't understand. Till now I work in the 1024 x 768 mode without problems. I also tried to change the config but it looked if it didn't accept the changes. At the moment in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file shows my monitor type (daewoo 518X) so I'm satisfied Hans van Esdonk Op vrijdag 27-04-2007 om 00:13 uur [tijdzone +], schreef Chris: > I have manually edited the xorg.conf many times, with many variations. > Yes setting the H and V refresh rates and modes will eventually enable > one of a few viewable outcomes, but such is easily broken. > > For example, I went to see the 3d cube, Compiz, installed/enabled the > drivers, reboot and I was back to 800x600 50Hz on a 19" CRT.
