Monitor screen resolution in ubuntu desktop10.4 will revert back to 900 * 600
 
Hello:


It is an old P4 machine, that I had installed ubuntu 10.04 desktop edition on it way back, year ago. I have wrestled with the monitor resolution, a few times in one year, so far.
Unfortunately no matter what I do, and which solution I grab from google search, and apply to it, it will always revert back to
Code:

Resolution      900 * 600
Refresh Rate    60 Hz
Rotation        Normal
Anyone has any solution that I may not have tried so far.

Code:
man Xorg
(look at the configure option) and
Code:
man xorg.conf
should get you started

Thank you RockDoctor


I actually got the resolution of both my screens after login and the login screen itself, switched to my favourit resolution, which is 1024 x 768 yesterday. I found a solution posted by someone on the web, through Google search.

Do you know how to change the screen resolution for the big ugly splash logo screen?

I even tried this solution, but it didn't work.

Haven't tried it with Ubuntu. With Fedora, I just boot eliminate the rhgb parameter on the command line and boot to the cli. No ugly boot splash, just a bunch of text scrolling by.

Hi RockDoctor:



Do you know how I can login to the Xterm.org Forum to ask my question as you suggested.
I am out of luck, no matter how hard I tried yesterday and all night, I didn't succeed.
I register, and send them the info, but get no response.
Something is wrong with their web site or I just can't figure it out.

Has anyone else run into this problem with their Forum? or is it just me?

I too got a blank page. But I also wasn't able to login, no matter how hard I tried.
Were you able to login at all ?

I couldn't login at all. I am puzzled. Do I need to download a software first, before being able to login?
It isn't friendly at all.
Has anyone on this Forum been posting anything there on that Forum?

No login - I get a blank page again :banghead:. The same blank page shows up (ok, maybe it's a different one, but it looks the same :D) when I try after deleting my .mozilla folder. FWIW, I'm running firefox-7.0.1.

The FAQ section or their first page suggests that if you have a problem contact the Admin. But how?
There is no way of contacting the Admin.
I think the Admin has no idea how inaccessible his Forum is!!!!!!!?????
