System - a reference lucid system from 10.04 lucid CD downloaded late July, all updates, no tweaks, mostly working to local servers but inevitably with a bit of local work accumulation. Following the latest update which included an X- package, my screen resolution is now limited to 800x600 - which many websites and many Ubuntu utilities no not support graciously. Previously (lucid release CD with all updates except the last batch) I chose 1024x768 from a list that included several higher resolutions, all of which worked on my MBO e-tron 770 monitor (17 inch CRT, 'Unknown' on the System-Preferences-Monitors utility) If really necessary I can reinstall and not update to get earlier diagnostics but I would want to be sure I am getting the right stuff for you, and that I need to, before tearing this system down. xdpyinfo includes the following - clearly not right for a 17 inch monitor: screen #0: dimensions: 800x600 pixels (212x159 millimeters) resolution: 96x96 dots per inch depths (7): 24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32 root window id: 0x102 depth of root window: 24 planes number of colormaps: minimum 1, maximum 1 default colormap: 0x20 default number of colormap cells: 256 preallocated pixels: black 0, white 16777215 OpenOffice must get its screen information from somewhere else - its documents are displayed approximately 20% oversize. from lspci: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL AGP 2X (rev 27) Subsystem: ATI Technologies Inc Device 8008 Flags: bus master, stepping, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 255 Memory at d8000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] I/O ports at c000 [size=256] Memory at da000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] [virtual] Expansion ROM at 20000000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [50] AGP version 1.0 Capabilities: [5c] Power Management version 2 Kernel modules: atyfb e...@lucid-eddy:~$ xrandr --verbose Screen 0: minimum 320 x 240, current 800 x 600, maximum 800 x 600 default connected 800x600+0+0 (0x109) normal (normal) 0mm x 0mm Identifier: 0x108 Timestamp: 1184102 Subpixel: unknown Clones: CRTC: 0 CRTCs: 0 Transform: 1.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000 filter: 800x600 (0x109) 28.8MHz *current e...@lucid-eddy:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS Release: 10.04 ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete -- Reduced screen resolution choices after update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/620581 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
