Re: xorg.config is empty? resolution problem

sorry, don't know anything about via video cards. I would do some googling, you probably need to find a better driver.

Re: xorg.config is empty? resolution problem

Very likely, the installer doesn't recognize the video chip on your motherboard, except at a very generic level. You can manually create an entry in your xorg.conf file that might pick up the actual needed driver that may already exist on your system.

First, enter

Code:

sudo lspci -vv

( that's a dash with two "v"'s) and report the results here inside a code box.

Re: xorg.config is empty? resolution problem

Open your xorg.conf file and post it here in a code box.

I didn't ask that before because I understood you to say that your xorg.conf was empty -- meaning not having any contents at all. So if you actually have something in it, we can build on that or modify it to work.

Also, what resolutions does that chip and your monitor support? and what resolution are you wanting to use?

**JohanLingen** · Jan 25, 2009, 04:21 PM

Re: xorg.config is empty? resolution problem

If I understood correctly, you manually deleted every single character in xorg.conf

If that is correct, you should try to press ESC during startup and select the Ubuntu Recovery Mode, then select "Repair X-server" or so.
It will regenerate your xorg.conf.

If that doesn't solve your problem right away, try

Code:

sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-video-openchrome

Reboot and look if it works.
If you still can't find the resolution you need, reboot again and try the "Recovery Mode - Fix X-server" thing again.

If it still doesn't work, post the contents of xorg.conf (and any specifications about the behaviour of the system).

--------
I found this thread (in dutch), which I post here, so I can find it if we need it at a later time. I recommend NOT to copy paste any xorg.conf contents in thread referenced below without looking carefully at what it says. First try the above and report back.

# here are ignored.

Re: xorg.config is empty? resolution problem

Can you give the result of:

Code:

sudo lsmod | grep via

Something similar in the forums:

Re: xorg.config is empty? resolution problem

One thing to note... KDE 4 is less reliant upon the xorg.conf file. It can still be used but the typical information loaded there by default in an installation is usually very minimal even if the eye candy works.

Instead of going into the recovery console you have the option of running the xorg.conf recreate command of:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

That can be done in konsole or in a CLI only session will walk you through recreating the conf file.
( Ctrl+F1 thru F6 , Ctrl+F7 is the default GUI if you have not used these features before )

After you do that log out, and hit Alt+E to reset the Xserver, log back in and see if that worked.
It may not and you may need to reboot instead of just a simple Xserver reset.

I cannot help much with the VIA hardware though.
Been round and round the block on my ATI hardware though trying many different configurations and many resets to get better resolution.

Re: xorg.config is empty? resolution problem

This chip encounters a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...rg/+bug/293326

I think that if you replace your xorg.conf with the following, it will work (you can leave the lines with # in the file):

EndSection

One comment: the copied values for HorizSync and VertRefresh might be different from what is supported by your monitor. These values are used to determine which video modes can be used on your system. I don't know if it can do any harm to your screen to set these values too high (anyone?). Else, you can look in the manual of your monitor for these values.
