hpw1907 monitor config?
I have an HP w1907 LCD monitor and when i try to use it with ubuntu 9.10 it displays oversized in the screen. I have tried to adjust it using the preferences/display (changing height/width) but cant seem to get it right.
There are no linux drivers for this unit at HP. How can i get the size/aspect adjusted? Thanks! |
Try the official ubuntu forums.

Welcome to LQ!
First of all, there are no drivers for monitors, only for video cards. Please post the output of (please wrap in [CODE] tags): Code:
lspci -v Also, you need to see if the proper driver (kernel module) is loaded. For this, post the results of: Code:
lsmod Code:
grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf |
Oboy
Ok I'm not very familiar with the language here.
Mr-biscuit where are the "official" ubuntu forums? Rockdoctor I have no idea what "Custom xorg.conf file. To get the proper resolution, man gtf" means or what i should do. and i think i DO actually know what brucehinrichs means... i run those commands in the "Terminal" yes? though i dont know what "please wrap in (code) tags" means. But i will give it a try and post the results. Thanks to all for the help! |

xorg.conf is a (now optional) file that contains configuration information for the X window system (the graphical display system). As brucehinrichs pointed out, there are no drivers for monitors. However, you can specify some configuration info for the monitor; it goes in the xorg.conf file. I have to do this in order for my 20" Soyo monitor to display correctly; without a custom xorg.conf file, instead of the full 1680x1050 native resolution of the monitor, all I typically get is 800x600. Big, ugly, and definitely not acceptable! |
