Getting Ubuntu 10.04 Video/Audio to work with an Intel 82815 Chipset The built in speakers on the compaq desktop pro, while they work with WIN XP, don’t work with Ubuntu 10.04. However, if you plugin a set of speakers or earphones into the sound output jack on the back (green) works perfectly. After installing the LIVECD onto the Compaq Desktop Pro, when I rebooted, everything looked okay. I run the updates. Then rebooted AFTER the updates, and then ran into trouble. Nothing I tried worked! Then I found the secret! You need to create at LEAST 2 admin accounts Before doing the updates. One that you will do the updates after installing the LIVECD, and one that you will use AFTER you do the updates. Here’s what’s going on. After installing the LIVED CD the monitor resolution is set to 800×600. However, after installing the updates, the resolution switches to 1024×760. So that account you did the updates with: worthless! If you logon after the updates with the second account, your good to go. But you need the snippet from here I created the following file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf RIGHT AFTER DOING THE UPDATES! DO NOT TRY TO CHANGE THE RESOLUTION TO ANYTHING BUT 1024×768. IT JUST WON’T WORK! # # /etc/X11/xorg.conf # Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Corporation 82815 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller]" Driver "intel" BusID "PCI:0:2:0" EndSection # Section "Monitor" Identifier "Generic Monitor" Option "DPMS" HorizSync 31.5-48.5 VertRefresh 40-70 EndSection # Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Device "Intel Corporation 82815 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller]" Monitor "Generic Monitor" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection If you hose the resolution you can try this. xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x768 -- Xorg does not detect the correct settings for old monitors at Ubuntu install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/181268 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
