Hi Salem, it's been some time since we last heard from you - are you still interested in this bug? If so, it'd be great if you could re-test it against intrepid, and provide the info mentioned above. Otherwise, we'll close this as expired. -- ubuntu installation on VAIO VGN-A617M -- Screen Blank https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132192 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 132192] Re: ubuntu installation on VAIO VGN-A617M -- Screen Blank
Ok, so the simplest thing worked. I attached a second (external) monitor and discovered that the display was exported to the second monitor from the very beginning, so I tried around again with the xorg.conf settings to get the main screen working to no avail. The difference is that I now had Ubuntu at least on some screen, so I installed the latest ati drivers for my card (which actually were supposed to only serve 3D acceleration, which is the reason why I didn't do this before), and voila the main screen is working at the full native 1400x900 resolution. I'm now trying to find a way to extend my desktop to the second monitor.

To be honest, nothing is working. I gave up on Ubuntu. At least on this Vaio. -- ubuntu installation on VAIO VGN-A617M -- Screen Blank https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132192 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

So I looked into more detail into the provided link (thanks it has been very educational). The one obvious potential solution is to set the HorizSync and VertRefresh properly. Unfortunately I cannot find any information on those specs for my computer screen. The Sony Website is not really helping much in giving such detailed specs. I fiddled around with several different combinations and resolutions to no avail. I don't think this is necessarily an Ubuntu specific problem. It's probably about configuring X11 for widescreen laptops (and sony XWGA+ display in particular).

Correction: of course the screen resolution is 1440x900 (at least that's how it works under Windows).
