What kernel module is being used here versus on the installed system? The issue may lie in there. Assuming they are the same, running `modinfo` against the kernel module (i.e. `modinfo -p sis_agp`) should give a whole list of available settings. Check to see if there are differences. If there are, set the installed system to match the live system. It's possible something has changed since 18.04 was released. > I would like to increase the resolution.

If you can't solve the issue with the above, you can always add a resolution with `xrandr`, throw it into a script, and make sure it autostarts. This is covered on [AskUbuntu][1] but basically: 1. `cvt HEIGHT WIDTH RESOLUTION` 2. Use the results of the above after "Modeline" to make a new mode: `xrandr --newmode MODELINE` 3. Add the mode: `xrandr --addmode DEVICE MODENAME` where you can figure out DEVICE from running `xrandr | grep connected` and MODENAME is the quoted portion at the beginning of the modeline 4. Put 2 and 3 in $HOME/.xprofile and it will be loaded at start [1]: https://askubuntu.com/a/377944 -- @wxl | polka.bike C563 CAC5 8BE1 2F22 A49D 68F6 8B57 A48B C4F2 051A -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
[lubuntu-users] SiS Graphics problems - lubuntu 18.04.3 LTS 32-bit
Hi, When I boot from installation media, Lubuntu appears with a screen resolution of 1280 x 1024 and a Refresh rate of 0.00. Other resolutions (1024 x 768, 800 x 600, 640 x 480) are available. When I boot from hard drive which was set up from the aforementioned installation media, Lubuntu appears with a screen resolution of 640 x 480 and a Refresh rate of 73.00. Other resolutions are not available. I would like to increase the resolution. I've tried going into Preferences -> Monitor Settings but only a resolution of 640 x 480 is available. Other details: Elonex ProSentia Tower PC. AMD Athlon XP3000+ 2.17GHz RAM: 2GiB, some shared with graphics ASUSTek motherboard with onboard graphics VGA Controller: SiS 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx/ PCIe VGADisplay Adapter Graphics kernel module: sis_agp Any ideas? I can provide more details on request.

[This issue][1] describes the problem and the solution. tl;dr change the `InputMethod` key to a null value in /etc/sddm.conf.

[lubuntu-users] Obstructive screen keyboard during greeter screen
Setup: Focal running lubuntu in newly built vbox vm. Built the vm with zfs-on-root and initially setup to just boot into console. Once I got X working, I still login to console (by choice) and at some point restart sddm. I'm then met with a greeter screen (sddm I think) with A login Icon waiting for my passwd, and another Icon near upper left corner offering a selection of desktops. If, I'm not fast enough getting started selecting and giving passwd a screen keyboard takes over obliterating greeter screen., And I mean really fast. Very little time is provided to use the desktop select (if desired) and type in passwd. If you don't make the cut an infernal screen keyboard takes over. I've never met this keyboard before in several buildings of 20.04. How can I turn the keyboard off, and hopefully keep the greet screen until I decide to use it. I may have turned it on or something. I initially played around with different desktops. I do not recall it, but I did fiddle with stuff. Is the screen keyboard for login, something that is select-able. can I just deselect it somewhere? -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
