    video resolution

    Hi there,

    Installed Kubuntu10.04 yesterday, everything went smooth as expected. But I'm unable to set display resolution correctly. I could open system settings > display > change resolution from here, but after a restart, it revert back to hi-res, while my monitor support 1024*768.

    Is there any other way I have to do this? I past I could do that using
    Code:
    dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
    , but this seems to not working in the Lucid

    Thanks in advance, please help.

    cheers!
    cheers!

      Do some searching here on the forum and on the web.

      Basically, you can create an xorg.conf that works or figure out what xrandr settings work for you and put them in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/45custom_xrandr-settings

        @snowhog I'm using neither, though I have a NVidia but right now it's laying in the closet cause of the faulty fan, so my display card is Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X4500.

        @oshunluvr I'll try that and let you know the outcomes
        cheers!

          Integrated Intel. Same here. Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03). My Toshiba's resolution is 1440x900, and the system sets it that way when I login from KDM.

            Re: video resolution

            My Intel unit fails to set correctly on bootup - but I think it's the monitor's inability to deliver the correct EDID information. I'm having a devil of a time figuring out the correct modeline for it.

            It's a plasma TV 1080i which is natively 1366x768 and connected via VGA instead of HDMI. Problem is most of the tools won't calculate 1366x768 because 1366 isn't divisible by 8. Ubuntu Lucid sets it at 1366x806 so the bottom panel is not displayed.

            I'll get it right eventually - when I have a day to futz with it!

              Re: video resolution

              I have the same issue also. On startup the screen resolution defaults to 1280 x 1024. I want 1024 x 768.
              How do I force Kubuntu to accept the 1024 x 768 resolution and not override it on startup?

                create an /etc/X11/xorg.conf with the correct mode or /etc/X11/Xsession.d/45_xrandr_custom and put your xrandr commands in it

                  oshunluvr, regarding your display not providing correct EDID info, I have the same trouble with my TV and haven't been able to get it to work since installing 10.04... Seems my xorg.conf file is being read, but the option "useEDID" "False" is being ignored for some reason... I've started a separate thread about this....

                      Re: video resolution

                      create the file /etc/X11/Xsession.d/45custom_xrandr-settings

                      You put in it the xrandr commands that set your video the way you like it - what ever they are.

                      Example:

                      xrandr --output vga1 --mode 1024x768 --dpi 100
