Tried solving this through the method used above with limited success. New xorg.conf attached. - I can now get the resolution 1280x1024 working okay, although its wrong for the monitor so some text appears a little fuzzy. - But 1440x900 and 1280x800 are not offered in the screen resolution dialogue. This seems weird because they are clearly and, as far as I can tell, correctly specified in the xorg.conf. The new file is identical to the one which previously worked for identical hardware running 8.04. - The GDM login screen appears to be working at the correct resolution, i.e. 1440x900.
Plus, an interesting oddity: when I changed the resolution at one point the theme immediately changed. Title bars became blue and differently shaped and the icon set changed to the one where the logout button is a green man symbol. I closed the screen resolution dialogue and that theme stayed, but changed it back to the default when I opened the dialogue once more, even though I didn't change anything this time. Something's clearly up. Would be happy to test a development version if something's been changed - please point me in the right direction. ** Attachment added: "xorg.conf.fix" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20830054/xorg.conf.fix -- Hardware Drivers error for nvidia in hardy (2.6.24.19) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/251832 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
