LCD Monitor

[jcgg]

I run Kubuntu on a Dell P2 Laptop with a normal display. When I attempt to run Kubuntu from my laptop to an LCD monitor, the monitor recommends that I run Kubuntu in 1440x900 at 60Hz and Kubuntu does not appear on the monitor. Is there a way that can change Kubuntu to run in this display mode.

Thanks.

Re: LCD Monitor

You could:

1)
In the konsole:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

This reconfigures xserver (screen resolution, refresh rate, lot of other stuff). And it makes backup.

or

2)
Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf manually. xorg.conf is text file. Backup first !
