Screen Resolution

[humboldt]

My screen resolution has gone from 1280/768 to 640/480 all by itself. I can't change it back as there is not the option to go smaller only larger! Please help.

Hello. I was just logging into Ubunto. I knew something wasn't right when I saw the size of the name field! It was all downhill after that. My monitor is an HP Pavilion f1703.

I hope that this helps you to help me.

This is appearing to be a video issue.
Could you please paste the output of the command
 dpkg -l | grep "^ii" | grep "linux-image\|linux-restricted-modules"
on here
Could you also please let us know what your graphics card is (nvidia/ati etc..)?
This will help us with your issue and push it to the right devs if necessary.

Hello, I'm sorry to be so thick but where do I paste that command please?

You paste that command into your terminal
[Applications-->accessories-->Terminal]
and make sure that you update your nvidia card with the drivers at
[System-->Administration-->Hardware Drivers]
Make sure to paste the output of that command into here.

[humboldt (dudeclair)]

Hello. The drivers are fine. This was the output from the command that you
sent me.

john@john-desktop:~$ dpkg -1 | grep "^ii" | grep
"linux-image\|linux-restricted-modules"
dpkg: unknown option -1

Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*];
Use `dselect' or `aptitude' for user-friendly package management;
Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values;
Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options;
Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files;
Type dpkg --license|--licence for copyright licence and lack of warranty
(GNU GPL) [*].

Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through `less' or
`more'

dpkg -l | grep "^ii" | grep "linux-image\|linux-restricted-modules"

that is a letter L (just lowercase) not a number 1. copy and paste that code directly from here (that way you won't error in re-typing it. (highlight it then cntrl+c [that copies it] then in the terminal right click the line where you type and click on "paste")

Hope it's OK this time?

make sure your computer is updated
System-->Administration-->Update Manager and click "check"
The latest kernel for 8.04 (hardy) is 2.6.24-20 (maybe 2.6.24-21) and you have 2.6.24-19
If theres still a problem re-install your video card drivers (you may have to with the kernel update)

[humboldt (dudeclair)]

Hello. A friend advised me to remove something called 'alltray' then
disable the video card drivers then enable them again. Hey presto the
resolution re-set itself!
