Can't change video resolution

mickeyboa · 11-13-2007, 07:23 PM

System Settings > Monitor& Display > Adminstrator Mode will not allow change of resolution , I set to 1024x768 and click on Apply, Keep, and I reboot and settings going back to highest settings 1600x1200.
Whats the problem ?

Have you tried to change the resolution by editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf? (Assuming Ubuntu has that file in place.)

I set these modes only for my workstation ...

Code:

SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes      "1680x1050" "1400x1050"
EndSubSection
EndSection

Thanks Bruce.
That's exactly what I did to fix the problem.
Thanks for responding.
