Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please attach your X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.0.log) to the bug report as an uncompressed file attachment using the "Attachment:" box below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf and let Xorg autodetect your display and video card? Please also attach the /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt. As you're running Ubuntu 8.04.1, you should no longer need to specify modelines for your monitor in your X server configuration file in order for the correct resolutions to be detected. I assume that this machine was upgraded from an older Ubuntu release?
By default, Ubuntu 8.04.1 ships with a very minimal X server configuration file. You may still need the minimal configuration file in order to be able to enable the fglrx driver using the Restricted Drivers Manager. In order to recreate this, type the following in to a terminal: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ...then edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to add the following line to the 'Devices' section: Driver "fglrx" Try running with this configuration, and attach your X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.0.log) from this attempt also. If you still have problems, please provide the following additional information (captured at the point in time when you experience the problem): 1. Output of "xrandr" 2. Output of "sudo ddcprobe" Thanks in advance. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: None => xorg Status: New => Incomplete -- screen resolution autodetection when plugging monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250951 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
