Monitor / xorg problems
I just went to staples and purchased a 22" wide screen monitor for my pc. I brought it home and tried to get it to accept 1650 x 1050 resolution in ubunto 7.10. Windows accepts this just fine and the monitor works as it should. In ubunto though It wont accept it, in fact now I can not log in because what is being displayed on the log in is a bunch of grabge lines more then likely some refresh rate or resolution that is not intended for the monitor. any help on getting linux to display properly ?

Okay I got xorg up and running, but I still can not get any of the wide screen resolutions to work :(.
I end up with about two maybe three inches cut off on the left side of my moniter. Linux is running really slow now as well, I cant turn on any of the desktop effects and open a simple pdf takes about two minutes. |
First, what driver is specified in /etc/X11/xorg.conf? (Look for an entry similar to this:
