[Bug 188951] Re: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg aborts prematurely
I have Hardy 8.04 LTS now running successfully on an ancient AMD Asus motherboard with a ATI Rage128 Ultra displaying on a reall multisync iiyama (that Windoze always detects). As above the ATI card was NOT detected properly by the new hardware detection programme and defaulted to the rather useless 800x640 - most dialogue boxes in fwbuilder etc are actually bigger than this and the bottom of some boxes were inaccessible!. Doh! However by entering the following paragraphs in xorg.conf it fixed it ! :-) Now i have all sorts of settings. Section Device Identifier Configured Video Device Boardname ATI Rage Ultra Busid PCI:1:5:0 Driver r128 Vendorname ATI Screen 0 Option MergedFB off EndSection Section Monitor Identifier Configured Monitor Horizsync 30.0-81.0 Vertrefresh 56.0-76.0 EndSection Section Screen Identifier Default Screen Device Configured Video Device Monitor Configured Monitor SubSection Display Depth 24 Modes 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 EndSubSection EndSection Section ServerLayout Identifier Default Layout Screen Default Screen EndSection Not sure if it was the card driver spec or the monitor declaration but it does show that xorg.conf still does effect the way X windows configures itself. Just thought you guys might like to know...

Either read the manpages (man xorg.conf, man intel etc.), or wait until the display configurator is functional again. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: New = Invalid -- dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg aborts prematurely https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/188951 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Automatic detection of the graphics card is fine, but how do i specify my monitor resolution and refresh rate? There is no word about it in the document you specified. From the Document References to device and monitor are implicit, default monitor resolution is detected automatically, and resolutions and multihead are better configured with XRandR and displayconfig-gtk. so yes the document says you should use XRandR or displayconfig-gtk -- dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg aborts prematurely https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/188951 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
