Only 640x480 screen resolution on ubuntu 5.10
Hi again, i just installed ubuntu 5.10 and i can't get a larger screen resolution than 640x480. it sucks.
i ran the following command: Code:
xresprobe nvidia Code:
id: Acer AL1911 My xorg.conf looks like this: Code:
Section "Device" |
That's Nvidia, right?
To me, it looks like it does not recognize your graphic card (but I may be wrong after all)
I have the same Acer 19'' lcd display with an Nvidia GeForce4 card: The Ubuntu installing program recognized configured everything right. Try installing Automatix and letting it install Nvidia drivers: Code:
wget http://beerorkid.com/automatix/automatix-ubuntu_4.3-1_i386.deb To remove automatix: Code:
sudo apt-get remove automatix Serch for answers www.ubuntuforums.org as well. |
Thanks Luke771, how do i know if it *does* recognize my card or not? is there any kind of command that checks that? i'll install that automatix and see what happens. i checked the ubuntuforums.org earlier today, but it was down for maintanance reasons =)

nickleus did you fixed the problem? Because I have the same problem on my fedora core 4

nickleus:
I don't know anything about automatix, but I think you can try reconfiguring X (which I presume is the key problem) and uncheck everything but the 1280x1024 option at the point where you're asked which resolutions to use. Try and follow: Code:
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg Code:
$ lspci Apart from that, I'd be interested in the handling of automatix, too, btw... oldsko0l: This doesn't hold for you, sorry - it's a Debian/Ubuntu thing (except for lspci, of course). |
nono, but the xorg.conf thing is the same so maybe :D I was just hoping, because nowere on the net somebody can help me :D

oldsko0l:
Try to remove anything in the Modes line(s) except for the resolution you want. It's not without risk, but it's worth a try. You can always reedit your xorg.conf and put everything back in... As far as I experienced similar things, it's only happening with older (or brand new) video adapters (or generic or quirky ones - laptops, mostly). |
