Guillaume - That's the default xorg.conf file generated by recent versions of X in Linux. Apparently the driver and display resolution is determined without regard to that xorg.conf file. However if settings for display resolution and the driver are put into xorg.conf by editing it or using an earlier version of Linux, then those setting are used, if they are compatible with the display hardware.
What I have done is to run an earlier version of Linux, such as the 5.04 version of Ubuntu, save the xorg.conf which is generated, and copy some display and monitor settings from that file into the default xorg.conf. In the older versions of Linux, the user manually makes some selection of the display type and desired resolution - but new versions are trying to make that selection automatically, which is a problem! With the Samsung SyncMaster, it is apparently difficult for the software to detect the monitor's capabilities, so the driver has to set up some settings which work in most monitors. This much seems to be working in the 9.04 beta and RC releases, but not perfectly, since sometimes the resolutions chosen are too high or too low. -- dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg fails on Dell PowerEdge 400sc with Samsung SyncMaster 570s https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/255561 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
