Monitor settings displays only one video resolution in Xubuntu 14.04

[Rodrigo Miguel]

A tool to monitor configuration displays only 1280x800 resolution.

I tried setting the xorg.conf to display other resolutions, but did not succeed.

My system:

Xubuntu 14.04 (via LiveUSB)

My hardware:

lspci | grep -i vga
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. CN896/VN896/P4M900 [Chrome 9 HC] (rev 01)

Hi Rodrigo,
Do you still have this issue using Zesty which has a more recent openchrome (1:0.5.0-3)?
Or using Trusty with the last openchrome (1:0.6.0-1) from this PPA?

I'm using the Xenial. With an openchrome 1:0.3.3+git20160310-1 version the problem persists.

In addition to activating an I2CDevices ativa option in xorg.conf (section device) to fix the system hang / freeze problem, black screen, monitor seems to shut down, when trying to start the GUI.

However, I just upgraded to a version of PPA https://launchpad.net/~dylan.a/+archive/ubuntu/xxv-openchrome

The problem of resolution persists.

But solved another problem of freeze / black screen, no longer having to configure xorg.conf.

Could you forward this issue to upstream for debugging? Thanks
