I've just installed the Intrepid RC (alternate cd), and my PCG-SRX51P also boots into 800x600. I will try installing the latest intel driver as unggnu describes in his/her howto above and report back. -- [Hardy] doesn't recognize native resolution on Vaio PCG-SRX51P/B (i815m)

Wow, so I tried _everything_ and nothing worked except one thing (probably the most obvious too). I tried installing the latest xserver-xorg-video-intel as described above, I tried installing 915resolution from hardy's packages, I tried installing xserver-xorg-video-i810, I tried manually setting

I downloaded and installed Hardy yesterday (16 September08) and had the same problem - 800x600 max and corrupted splash screen on my PCG- SRX51P/B I'm a total (I mean total) Linux newbie so I'll watch this space for a while before I try anything. -- [Hardy] doesn't recognize native resolution

I am seeing this problem on a fresh install of Hardy on the machine I am typing this message on. It is a PCG-SRX51P. The Windows intel driver utility suggests it is an i82815 graphics chip. 800*600 was the resolution it installed with. The Monitor Resolution tool shows an unknown monitor and only

Could you recheck the issue with the Ubuntu 8.04.1 Live CD. Maybe it was a driver issue which was fixed after release so the hard disk installation works but not the final. Unfortunately the support of i81x hardware was discontinued from upstream but if at least the installation works fine ... --

No, the Xorg driver aren't used for splash screen. Does the Hardy shipped -intel driver work fine with your native resolution oder the Debian sid one? ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel Status: New = Invalid ** Also affects: usplash (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status:

Could you please recheck it with the current upstream -intel driver. If it doesn't work with it we can report the issue upstream. The easiest way is to use the Debian sid driver in Hardy I guess. Change the Driver line to from i810 to intel in xorg.conf without a restart. You have to remove the

I think I may have misled you, or misunderstood what you are suggesting I try. Apologies. When I boot from hard disk, the machine works perfectly in 1024x768 mode using that standard X.org and i810 driver in Hardy. So there doesn't seem to be a problem there. The 800x600 issue is when I boot

The i810 driver is deprecated since a long time and would be most likely removed in newer Ubuntu versions so your problem should be fixed in the -intel driver. To check if it is already fixed in a newer version I posted the above howto. -- [Hardy] doesn't recognize native resolution on Vaio

I switched from the i810 to intel driver in the xorg.conf and it appears to make no difference at all: the machine boots but without showing the splash screen, X.org starts fine and works in the right graphics mode. So the only problem appears to be in the Live CD boot. I am not sure the recipe

I think this problem may now be just past history. As far as I can tell Hardy is working entirely fine on this machine. (Well there is a problem with the splash screen on booting, but apart from that it all works entirely fine and at 1024x768 :-) I am still using the i810 driver but am thinking

Though I should point out that booting from the Hardy Live CD does cause the system to work in 800x600 mode. So there is a problem there, but not in the disc boot I have. -- [Hardy] doesn't recognize native resolution on Vaio PCG-SRX51P/B (i815m) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/183746 You
