Public bug reported: Fujitsu Siemens ESPRIMO-Mobile-V5535, SiS, Ubuntu 10.10,
I had 9.10 and the extra driver and it worked fine, but of course that's no more. I now have 10.10 and am stuck with 800x600. I've tried the forums and can just about follow some of it until I come to xorg.conf which on my system doesn't even exist in x11. My knowledge of software and systems doesn't amount to that much, but it seems strange to me that Puppy Linux (from experience) and Mandriva (so I've heard) can both drive this screen "out of the box" but a big popular user friendly system like Ubuntu has problems. Can you help, please? Sam attempted to help but his suggestion unfortunately did not work. The console interaction when I tried his suggestion follows; -jjd@jjd-ESPRIMO-Mobile-V5535:~$ xrandr -q xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 800 x 600, maximum 800 x 600 default connected 800x600+0+0 0mm x 0mm 800x600 61.0* 640x480 60.0 jjd@jjd-ESPRIMO-Mobile-V5535:~$ xrandr --output default --mode 1024x768 xrandr: cannot find mode 1024x768 jjd@jjd-ESPRIMO-Mobile-V5535:~$ xrandr --addmode default 1360x768 xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default xrandr: cannot find mode "1360x768" jjd@jjd-ESPRIMO-Mobile-V5535:~$ cvt 1360 768 # 1360x768 59.80 Hz (CVT) hsync: 47.72 kHz; pclk: 84.75 MHz Modeline "1360x768_60.00" 84.75 1360 1432 1568 1776 768 771 781 798 -hsync +vsync jjd@jjd-ESPRIMO-Mobile-V5535:~$ xrandr --newmode "1360x768_60.00" 84.75 1360 1432 1568 1776 768 771 781 798 -hsync +vsync xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default jjd@jjd-ESPRIMO-Mobile-V5535:~$ xrandr --addmode default 1360x768 xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default xrandr: cannot find mode "1360x768" jjd@jjd-ESPRIMO-Mobile-V5535:~$ sudo lshw -C display [sudo] password for jjd: *-display UNCLAIMED description: VGA compatible controller product: 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter vendor: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:01:00.0 version: 10 width: 32 bits clock: 66MHz capabilities: pm agp agp-3.0 vga_controller cap_list configuration: latency=0 resources: memory:c0000000-cfffffff memory:d4000000-d401ffff ioport:9000(size=128) jjd@jjd-ESPRIMO-Mobile-V5535:~$ ** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-sis (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-sis in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/809482 Title: Widescreen with 10.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-sis/+bug/809482/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
