Re: Graphic card

i810 and i910 are pretty much the same chip. If you go into the Display area under the KDE Menu ---> System Settings you should get a slider that will allow you to change the resolution. If it's an issue of not getting a widescreen resolution, you may need to create settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf but it should autodetect your screen's highest resolution. Let us know what the Display settings will allow and post the output of this command after opening it, copying the text, and pasting it in the forum reply:

Code:

 cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf >> xorg.txt

This will automatically make a file for you in your home directory called "xorg.txt" if you open your console command and copy and paste this code into your command line.

On display section I can chose widescreen and i can also select 915i, the problem is that nothing change. Moreover if i close the setting diplay wind. and than open for a second time, the new setting is forgotten.

Re: Graphic card

I have found this to be of interest for your situation. try this link

http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#H...on_.28Intel.29

and tell us what happens. This guide has helped me a lot.

Re: Graphic card

I follow the instruction
in th eubuntu guide...unfortunately when I type:

Patch mode 5c to resolution 1920x1200 complete

matteo@matteo-laptop:~$ sudo gedit /etc/rc.local
sudo: gedit: command not found

this is the answer.

By System setting menù i can change the screen in 16:9 and the graphic card in 915...but still nothing change.
I think that installing the intel driver the things will be better but i'm not able to convert the pacage, in a previous post there is the reply that konsole given me: error 5.. ecc.

Actually I don't know what i have to do.

This guide is geared mainly to the ubuntu desktop. Which is the same as kubuntu more or less with some minor differences.

gedit is not part of the kubuntu package so it it not installed. kate is the kubuntu equivalent. You could go through the gui. start from the home folder and click on the up browser arrow until you are in the root directory and look for the folder that says "etc". click on that folder scroll down until you see the file that says rc.local. right click it, go to actions, choose "edit as root" put in your pw and copy and paste what is needed.

doing it like this help me understand the terminal better and now I can navigate through the terminal with ease.
