Unfortunately still not fixed in jaunty ... I'm using the xorg.conf from a previous Sidux install. I've attached both the original xorg file and the Sidux xorg file - which works as expected.

Status in “xorg” source package in Ubuntu: New Status in “xserver-xorg-video-trident” source package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: xorg On previous versions of Ubuntu, dpkg-reconfigure allowed me to specify monitor resolution etc. With hardy, this feature appears to have been removed. I believe that will encourage better detection code, and more usable front ends for less technical users. Nevertheless, I am right now left with 800x600 on my Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600, which has a native resolution of 1024x768 with only option to manually edit xorg.conf. Steps to show bug: Install a fresh copy of Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 on a Toshiba Satellite pro laptop. Observe the GUI gives maximum resolution of 800x600. Expected: Resolution should include 1024x768 native screen resolution. This resolution has shown to work where screen resolution set manually. lspci >error_report ; cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log >> error_report [lspci] 00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: Intel Corporation 82815 815 Chipset Host Bridge and Memory Controller Hub [8086:1130] (rev 11) Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems Device [1179:0001] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Trident Microsystems CyberBlade/XP [1023:9910] (rev 63) Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems Device [1179:0001] This bug is also apparent on SP 6000. lspci -vvnn snippet from SP6000: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Trident Microsystems CyberBlade XPAi1 [1023:8820] (rev 82) Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems Device [1179:0001] See massage from 17 Jan 09 for full details ** Attachment added: "xorg.conf.orig" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26004176/xorg.conf.orig ** Attachment added: "xorg.conf" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26004177/xorg.conf -- xorg fails to correctly detect Satellite pro 4600 and 6000 screen resolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239722 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
