I had a seemingly unsolveable problem with a Dell laptop screen not being recognised properly under the binary Nvidea driver that was fixed by some kind contributer uploading a EDID file to these support forums and then telling X to use that. Problem fixed. I suggest a database be created of troublesome displays and corresponding EDID files if this shows some promise to resolve some issues.
-original message- Subject: [Bug 3731] Re: Xorg resolution falling back to 640x480 and/or 800x600 when h/v freqs incorrect From: Chris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 20/10/2007 17:16 Changing Gutsy screen resolutions does not work on my computer. Gutsy incorrectly chooses 1920x1440 at 61Hz and although I see options to change such, when I click "apply" nothing happens. The screen resolution I need is 1152x864. I did hope that Ubuntu would finally work this time around, but no. I now have a coaster with Ubuntu Gutsy on it. Oh well. Maybe this will be fixed in 2008. -- Xorg resolution falling back to 640x480 and/or 800x600 when h/v freqs incorrect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/3731 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. -- Xorg resolution falling back to 640x480 and/or 800x600 when h/v freqs incorrect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/3731 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a subscriber of a duplicate bug. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
