I installed a better ATI graphics card, and that solved the problem: no more difficulties with the screen resolution of my computer when using Ubuntu. The old graphic card worked fine when I booted into Windows 7, but it just didn't work with Ubuntu. The new card, an ATI Radeon HD5450, works fine with both Windows and Ubuntu.

Too bad it took a new graphics card to get Ubuntu to work for me, but I guess that's life. I think it was worth getting and installing the new card. I still boot into WIndows 7 a lot, but I like having Ubuntu available as well. Ubuntu keeps improving all the time, so maybe someday people like me will be able to use it exclusively, instead of Windows.

Interesting, changing video card fixed it. There must be some issue with EDID and the open source ATI/AMD video drivers for obsolete cards, but maybe it works with nerwer cards. Or are you using the closed source drivers?

If its a LCD/LED LCD etc, then you are better off using the native resolution (normally the biggest resolution with LCDs) and then changing the DPI. See here-

Its also possible to change DPI with linux (at least soemtimes anyway but how to do it tends to be DE specific. I have no idea how to change DPI with unity (which is what you will be using by defualt with 11.04), and I dont want to know...

Hi TobiSGD

Appreciate your soonest reply
Thanks

You would do better to just make a new thread in the ubuntu section. With some title like 'how to get intel 845 video drivers for 11.04'.

Hello to everyone
I have a similar problem with rjbennett.
I am using Ubuntu 11.04 and until yesterday, everything was smooth. When I tried to log in today, I noticed that my resolution was changed. I tried to follow the solution you gave to rjbennett but had no results.The "biggest" resolution I can find in my monitor settings is 1024 X768 and I was working on 1280 X 1024.
The only thing I could find is that I use a Radeon 9550.
I'm still trying to find if I've made something wrong in the hardware, or if someone logged in my pc and messed up. But I would really appreciate if you have any suggestions.
Thanks a lot.

Hi i had the same problem
can anyone help me??
in windows 7 i had Intel Graphics Media Accelator and all was fine.

my monitor proper resolution is 1366 x 768

any suggestions??

If anyone need, I had today same problem on Ubuntu 11.04, it didn't show the proper resolution.
This happened after I connected PC on KVM switch (keyboard & monitor).
Thanks to this help, I solved the problem:
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-change...ng-xrandr.html

With 11.04 using upstart and other event-drive configuration for X11, I cannot
find any of the details. I cannot find docs that come anywhere close to description
of what I find on my workstations.

On my Linux Mint-11 (based on Ubuntu 11.04) I found xorg.conf as:
NOTICE that I did not find any file named exactly xorg.conf.
I tried a global system search with find and did not identify
anything named xorg.conf either.

After some rummage, I found these things:

In /etc/X11/Xsession.d/80im-switch.sh
Where the variable 'LNG' the configured 'language_region' string.

On my system, the following files exist:

• nothing in $HOME
• /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/all_ALL
• /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/default

Please help,

i'm using the "ultimate edition 3.0 games" operating system, which i'm figuring out is a variation of ubuntu. i've got 2 problems:

the font size is set to 10 on the menu options. even when i changed every font size to 16 or 18
nothing i do will change that, so i tried to decrease the screen resolution
s
the monitor / display resolution is set to 1280 x 1024 and will not change. i tried to set it to 1024 x 768 so i could actually read the menu options, then click "apply". the resolutions window closes, but the resolution doesn't change.

i am using the 'live' version, running off my cd.

my biggest complaint with linux is the develpers have got this in reverse: every linux distribution needs to ship with each and every font set to 16 and 18, and the resolution set to 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768. then, we have the option to set the fonts smaller, or use a higher resolution. with setting the font to 8 and using a resolution of 1280 x 1024, i can't read the menu optoins to change my font size.

this is why i prefer microsoft over linux. the only problem i have with microsoft fonts is the size of the font on their product key.

if the linux community wanted to make linux more popular, they should start by making it user friendly. having small unreadable fonts isn't user friendly at all.

hey
i have problem to play games on ubuntu 11:4
