On January 20th I read the post by Bartosz,Please apply this patch and
attach your Xorg.0.log file after that.
Naturally, being someone with minimal technical expertise with linux,
and naturally being concerned that now my computer finally works, not
wanting to implement something on my computer
Bartosz or others,
Since I'm not a technie I didn't try to read that xorg.0.log but did you
discover anything useful by examining it?
Also, is there any chance the next version of Ubuntu will incorporate
this so people with insignia or similar monitors, who had no problems
with Drake but had
Sure, here it is.

You received this bug
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
P.S. if there are no concerns from you experienced ubuntu/linux folks, I

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
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
Bartosz,
I don't know what a DVI cable is so I am attaching a photo of the back of my
monitor (actually I just searched images.google.com for dvi cable and it
looks like the answer is, yes, my cable is of the DVI type, but just to be
certain, I will still attach a photo below)

Thank you for the suggestion Bartosz. If I understood you correctly,
since I do not have any /etc/X11/xorg.conf file I can use gedit to
create a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file that contains one line and only one
line: HorizSync 30.0-100.0 (without the marks)
I will try that next and then will reboot
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.
(EE) Problem parsing the config
I saved a copy in WAStried.xorg.conf
I don't know whether the file xorg.conf.failsafe which was already there is
relevant. ls copied below.
ha...@harel-desktop:/etc/X11$ ls -l *conf*

Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf and let
Xorg autodetect your display and video card? When you do please also
attach the /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt
I was going to state that I did not know how to run without any... but
it appears to these novice eyes
