I was finally able to give an old laptop the 1024 x 768 resolution I knew the LCD could do (from the 800 x 600 + large gray border around it it did do because Ubuntu 9.10 did a "monitor not detected" on me) by adding an xorg.conf text file in /etc/X11 with just the following few lines only:
Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor" HorizSync 60-60 VertRefresh 43-117 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Monitor "Configured Monitor" Device "Configured Video Device" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection -- can't configure display resolution (monitor, graphics card) manually in gui https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/240916 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to x-kit in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
