Monitor problem

[kritro]

Hello! I have a dual boot on my notebook with xp and 6.06. I now from xp that my notebook dont suport dual screen, only clone when I use ext monitor. Still i tried this in kubuntu and when I restartart it stops just befor the login window.

Probably an illegal hardware setting does that the xserver wont start. Is it some way I can remove this last setting from terminal.

Re: Monitor problem

It sounds like you messed up you Xserver?

You can reconfigure it.

When your computer first boots you will see a screen which offers several kernels to boot from - chose the one that says "rescue" besides it and your computer will boot to the command prompt. ou'll need to enter your log in info.

Back up your original file

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup

Then you can try to reconfigure your xserver with this:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

If you happen to know the details of your video system (driver name, monitor settings etc) it would be lovely. If you don't just accept the defaults and hit enter.

If you have ATI graphics you may find this to be a chancy business, and there will be a good chance your 3D will no longer work right.

If you don't have much data you may find it easier and faster to just start the set up over.
