2007-04-25 01:57:52 Bryce Harrington description I'm upgrade my system to ubuntu 5.10, after that, xorg can't load the correct resolution of the monitor ( 1024 x 768 ). I'ts only load 640x480. I've used dpkg-recunfigure xserver-xorg, and insert the correct values, but don't work. The system is a Samsung 753dfx and a gforce mx 200 32mb. I'm upgrade my system to ubuntu 5.10, after that, xorg can't load the correct resolution of the monitor ( 1024 x 768 ). I'ts only load 640x480. I've used dpkg-recunfigure xserver-xorg, and insert the correct values, but don't work. The system is a Samsung 753dfx and a gforce mx 200 32mb. [Update] A lot of people have reported this same bug. Symptoms include: * Your hardware supports a variety of resolutions, but Ubuntu only runs in 640x480, 800x600, and/or 1024x768 * In the "Monitor" section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf, your monitor is listed as "Generic Monitor", with HorizSync and VertRefresh rates that do not match your monitor * `xresprobe <driver>` fails to work, or does not return accurate information for your hardware. (You can find your driver by looking in /etc/X11/xorg.conf for the line "Driver ..." It will be something like 'ati', 'nv', 'nvidia', etc. If you are using this on a laptop, run `xresprobe <driver> laptop`. The work-around for this bug is to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and replace the rates with ones that match your monitor. The section should look something like this: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Generic Monitor" VendorName "SNY" ModelName "SDM-S91" Option "DPMS" HorizSync 28-80 # Important: Use horizontal frequency for your monitor VertRefresh 48-75 # Important: Use vertical frequency for your monitor EndSection Your monitor's documentation will tell you what the frequencies are. It's typically on a data sheet in the back of the book titled "Input Signal" or similar. If you don't have the printed manual, you can usually also find it on the manufacturer's website. The proper fix for this bug is to identify WHY xresprobe isn't working, and for this we will need everyone's help. Here are some ideas on why it may or may not work, that need testing: * Does it work with DVI monitors? * Does it work with KVM switches? * Does it work with DVI-to-VGA adapters? * Does it work with HD monitors? * Does it work with multi-headed systems? * Does it work on non-x86 systems (AMD64, PPC64, et al)? If you are having resolution problems, you can help by running xresprobe (see above) and if it fails, then try to think of anything a-typical about your system, and report your findings in the comments of this bug.

Symptoms include: * Your hardware supports a variety of resolutions, but Ubuntu only runs in 640x480, 800x600, and/or 1024x768. If you have all three resolutions, but expect more, you are likely seeing bug 27667, bug 49827, or bug 94994. * In the "Monitor" section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf, your monitor is listed as "Generic Monitor", with HorizSync and VertRefresh rates that do not match your monitor * `sudo xresprobe <driver>` fails to work, or does not return accurate information for your hardware.

It will be something like 'ati', 'nv', 'nvidia', etc. If you are using this on a laptop, run `sudo xresprobe <driver> laptop`. Also run `sudo ddcprobe` - if you see "edidfail" then you are experiencing bug 94994.

Note that this will replace your xorg.conf file entirely. If you're running Gutsy, then you can also try the Screen and Graphics GUI admin tool, which lets you reconfigure your xorg.conf in a graphical manner.
