Hullo. 2009/11/10 laurentiu laurentiu <mistikkia@xxx.xxx.xxx> > I'm trying to change my screen resolution on ubuntu karmic koala ... and things are going horribly wrong .. > I have a fujitsu siemens esprimo mobile laptop (version V55355 or V33533 or something) with intel core 2 duo ... This looks like "your" bug. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-sis/+bug/444476 Sign up, subscribe and wait for a fix :S > since karmic koala doesn't even have an xorg.conf file i tried to look for alternatives ... no success .. found something about intel video drivers.. but as far as i understand they should already be installed in 2.6.31-14-generic There's nothing stopping you maintaining /etc/X11/xorg.conf in Ubuntu. It just tries to do stuff automagically these days, but you can override that with your own settings. > ##if this is of any help : lspci -nn | grep VGA > 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter [1039:6351] (rev 10) > gtf is a useful tool for generating modelines that you stuff into xorg.conf... If that bug report is to be believed then the native resolution is 1280x800. alan@wopr64:~$ gtf 1280 800 60 # 1280x800 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 49.68 kHz; pclk: 83.46 MHz Modeline "1280x800_60.00" 83.46 1280 1344 1480 1680 800 801 804 828 -HSync +Vsync Cheers, Al. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can find the EdLUG mailing list FAQ list at: http://www.edlug.org.uk/list_faq.html
