Re: sony vaio display problem

Model of VAIO? Screen resolution (per the specs of the PC)? Make/model of video card/chip?

Re: sony vaio display problem

I have a VAIO as well, but I did not have any problems with the display. Try adjusting the resolution of the screen in the system settings. If that doesn't work, boot into recovery mode, and use the option "try and fix x server". This option always works when I do something to my display that I shouldn't have...

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82815 Chipset Graphics Controller (CGC) (rev 11)
tried system settings>display. 600x800 is the only option. I'm thinking it is a driver issue. I guess I could try dpkg--reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg.

Re: sony vaio display problem

I'd be inclined to run dpkg--reconfigure xserver-xorg first.

Re: sony vaio display problem

tried dpkg--reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg to no avail. Still got a small screen.

Re: sony vaio display problem

In Adept Manager or Synaptic, do you have the xserver-xorg-video-intel package installed?

A possible "solution."

This is an xorg.conf file posted from Xorg.conf for intel 82815 chipset

You can make a backup copy of your existing file:

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

and edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf (as root) and replace all with the following:
(NOTE: check the following section from below:

Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"

with the same section in your original file. Make any changes so it matches your old file.)
