This has no effect. To get CTRL-ALT-F1 to work, I must boot with the monitor switched off. I wait (for the boot to complete) and then switch on the monitor and get 640x480. Before I login I press CTRL-ALT-F1. This gives me the console. It does not work if I boot with the monitor switched on.
I tried your suggestion and then after reboot the system gets lost and gives me a login screen again & again regards Peter -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]on Behalf Of Fabio Marconi Sent: Wednesday, October 13, 2010 7:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Bug 472522] Re: Deskpro EN p733 when ubuntu changes screenresolution from 1280*1024 it seems OK but screen is scrambledat reboot Hello Can you pleasre switch to a console (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg exit rebot Thanks Fabio ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: Invalid => Incomplete -- Deskpro EN p733 when ubuntu changes screen resolution from 1280*1024 it seems OK but screen is scrambled at reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/472522 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. Status in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The system (Deskpro EN p733) is connected to a Philips 107B monitor. When I try to change the resolution, ubuntu does not recognise the display type, but it does offer several resolution variants. If I select 1024*768 (which suits my old eyes much better than the original) everything works fine - until I reboot. Then I get a screen which seems to have versions of the display (slightly displaced) on top of each other. The computer worked fine at 1024*768 with Windows 2000. Disconcertingly if then I try one of the safe variants of login, I can eventually get in, BUT my wireless connection is lost. This sounds to me like the back end end of some peripheral control file has been lost when the system shuts down. regards Peter ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 CheckboxCommand: resolution_test CheckboxDescription: This display is using the following resolution: $output Is this acceptable for your display?
