    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.

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

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

              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:
                Code:
                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.)

                # /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
                #
                # This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
                # values from the debconf database.
                #
                # Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page.
                # (Type "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
                #
                # This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
                # if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
                # package.
                #
                # If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
                # again, run the following command:
                # sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
