The display is not working optimally on my laptop. System > Preferences > Display gives "Unknown monitor", I can't turn on normal visual effects in System > Preferences > Appearance (Desktop effects could not be enabled) When I run lshw I get the following: p...@paul-laptop:~$ sudo lshw -c display [sudo] password for paul: *-display UNCLAIMED description: VGA compatible controller product: VT8636A [ProSavage KN133] AGP4X VGA Controller (TwisterK) vendor: S3 Inc. physical id: 0 bus info: p...@0000:01:00.0 version: 01 width: 32 bits clock: 66MHz capabilities: pm agp agp-2.0 bus_master cap_list configuration: latency=64 maxlatency=255 mingnt=4 resources: memory:e0000000-e007ffff memory:90000000-97ffffff(prefetchable) memory:98000000-9800ffff(prefetchable) I thought creating an xorg.conf file might help. I ran Xorg -configure and dropped the created conf file in /etc/X11/ (the file does seem to identify the display correctly: Section "Device" ### Available Driver options are:- ### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False", ### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz" ### [arg]: arg optional #Option list removed... Identifier "Card0" Driver "savage" VendorName "S3 Inc." BoardName "VT8636A [ProSavage KN133] AGP4X VGA Controller (TwisterK)" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" EndSection However this has had no effect. The system does seem to be displaying in 1024x768 screen resolution. So it's almost right. Computer is Packard Bell iGo 5461. Running 9.10 (2.6.31-21-generic) Thanks for any help.
