Hi all,
I've just installed Lubuntu 10.10 on a Sony Vaio laptop.
Intel 650 MHz Processor
256MB RAM
30 GB HD
Intel 82815 chipset
My screen resolution is messed up and the display is about half what it should be. Also, the pointer doesn't point where it should. For example, to point to the shutdown button in the bottom right hand corner, I have to aim the pointer about an inch above it and a little to the left.
This exact same problem with a possible fix is described here:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hipset-608658/
Its a xorg.conf fix:
Code:
# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

The problem is that I know absolutely nothing about coding and dont know what to do with this information. I know how to get into a xorg.conf file, but then what do I do?
Also, in the above code, an i810 driver is used for the graphics card. Im using an xFree86 driver...I think...
What do I do? Any help would be much appreciated.
