I have a Dell D620 laptop with an Intel 945 video chipset. I'm tried part of an xorg.conf from an online user to see if it will fix my incorrect resolution problem and unable to use screensaver problem.
I copied this info to my xorg.conf Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller" Driver "intel" BusID "PCI:0:2:0" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Generic Monitor" Option "DPMS" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Device "Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller" Monitor "Generic Monitor" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Modes "1280x800" EndSubSection EndSection Hmmm. I turned on the laptop this morning and I got a text login. After logging in it used the root account instead of my account. The video settings were correct when I turned on the laptop this morning. I'm not sure how that happened. The settings that I cut and pasted in the xorg.conf last night from above are gone. I did an exit and logout then logged in as me and set the video to 1280x800. I have no idea what happened overnite. I had to do a dpkg-reconfigure in order to get my gui login back and I told it to use the frame buffer. I'm not sure if that's necessary. Concidently, my original xorg.conf looked kinda similar. Well, I went ahead and took the frame buffer stuff out but I still can't view opengl screensavers. When this happened on my kubuntu desktop with a Nvidia card it was a driver problem. I have the correct screen resolution on my laptop now but I still can't view opengl screensavers on kubuntu 8.04.1. Here is my partial new xorg.conf open terminal sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Monitor "Configured Monitor" Device "Configured Video Device" EndSection By the way, I've been Microsoft/windows free for about 8 months and I'm loving it! ** Summary changed: - intel 945 + intel 945 unable to display correct video resolution ** Summary changed: - intel 945 unable to display correct video resolution + intel 945 incorrect resolution and can't use screensavers ** Description changed: Unable to choose 1280x800 resolution with laptop that has an Intel 945 video chipset. Kubuntu says I have an Intel 945 and am using the i810 video driver. The only resolution that I can get is 1024x768. I even modified my xorg.conf to this to see if I could get 1280x800 but that still doesn't change the resolution to 1280x800. - I'm using Kubuntu 8.04.1 + I also can't use opengl screensavers.
