[i845] Intel 82845G does not detect HP D2835 monitor

[Wojciech Fornalczyk]

Binary package hint: xorg

Computer: Compaq EVO D510 with integrated Intel 82845G graphics adapter.
Monitor: HP D2835 Ultra VGA 1280 CRT 4:3

Ubuntu 10.10 does not detect the monitor correctly. The 1280x1024 60Hz video mode is forced, and there is no possibility to change it.

Hey Wojciech,

Thanks for your interest in Ubuntu.

Thanks for testing maverick during its development period. Unfortunately it looks like this bug report didn't get attention during the maverick development period. But I see there's not been more comments on the bug since the release, which makes me wonder if this is still an issue for you?

If you've not seen this issue since maverick's release yourself, it may have been solved by kernel or X or other updates that occurred late in the release; if so, would you mind please closing the bug for us? Go to the URL mentioned in this bug report, click the yellow icon(s) in the status column and set to 'Fix Released'.

If you no longer have the hardware needed to reproduce the problem, or otherwise feel the bug no longer needs tracked in Launchpad, you can set the status to 'Invalid'.

If you are the original reporter and still have this issue, just reply to this email saying so. (Or set the bug status to Confirmed.) If you are able to re-test this against 11.04 Natty Narwhal (our current development focus) and find the issue still affects Natty, please also run 'apport-collect <bug-number>' while running natty, which will add fresh logs and debug data, and flag it for the Ubuntu-X development team to look at.

Similar situation, but laptop is HP Compaq 6710b and monitor is HP 7550

[Mantas Kriaučiūnas (mantas)]

AFAIK problem is because Ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04 doesn't use intel X driver on Intel i845 (82845G) and i855 devices, but uses fbdev instead. Could you force driver to intel by copying attached xorg.conf to /etc/X11/ folder and test if monitors are correctly detected? I did this on my system with Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01) and now my computer detects monitors and works fine with Ubuntu 11.04, see
