ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 w/64MB DDR Low Resolution <---Moved From Dapper Drake

[actual]

Hello all,

I've got a newish install of Feisty Fawn (Kubuntu n00b), and I'm not getting anything about 1024 x 768. In fact, there's nothing on the xorg.conf higher than that. And I had it going much higher in other distros Sad

My screen:
15" SXGA+ TFT Active Matrix

Graphics card:
ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 w/64MB DDR

x.conf:

# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)

Have you tried to go into System Settings, Monitor and Display to see about changing monitor settings in Hardware section?

My screen:
15" SXGA+

So => Googling => SXGA+(wiki)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SXGA+

SXGA+ stands for Super eXtended Graphics Array and is a computer display standard. An SXGA+ display is commonly used on 14 inch or 15 inch laptop LCD screens with a resolution of 1400 × 1050 pixels.

You could try:

Edit xorg.conf with text editor:
Alt + F2 and kdesu kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf

snap

or

type in the konsole:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

and choose those that you need:

If there are some resolutions you would not like the X server to use
even if your hardware is capable of them, remove them from the list
below. Removing all of them is effectively the same as removing none,
since in both cases the X server will attempt to use the highest
possible resolution.

Select the video modes you would like the X server to use.
