I have one for you... I picked up a little 15" widescreen Acer x163w monitor with a 1366 x 768 resolution. EMC and Axis work fine under Dapper, although the resolution is not right. Hardy gets the resolution correct, but the preview window in Axis streaks diagonally across the entire screen.
I have read and tried every "fix resolution" tutorial I could find and I can't get Dapper to display correctly. And Hardy is useless because I can't see the controls behind the preview window smears. Further, it has been my experience that if you ever change monitors with different aspect ratios under Ubuntu, you have to reinstall the OS to get it to work. This is the one thing I think is really holding Ubuntu back from being a consumer friendly product. >Len -----Original Message----- From: Roger [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, January 13, 2009 3:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Emc-users] EMC2 and Hardy 8.04 Probably not the problem here but as an FYI... I had a very difficult time getting Hardy to recognize my monitor correctly on a Shuttle and spent a lot of time and effort trying to fix the problem. It turns out that the problems was that I had connected the monitor through a KVM (keyboard switch) that prevented the monitor from passing it's configuration stuff to the driver. After directly wiring the monitor it was easy to identify the supported monitor modes by looking at the xconfig log which made it very simple to add the missing video modes. I ended up configuring the monitor as VESA.
