solved my problem!.. everything seems fine, let me first of all post my
solution here.
a long breath, overwrote my previous festy installation for a gusty textmode
installation from the alternate cd. booted up gutsy in rescue mode and run
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
as suggested in the xorg.conf file; set up the right resolution from there but
didn't help.
tried it again, following the complete
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
reconfiguration. it didn't help either, as i didn't actually know which driver
and other specs to choose..
so i inserted the working feisty livecd, booted up in normal mode and made a
copy of the xorg config file onto my hd:
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /media/sda8/xorg.conf.feisty
i compared the two and many things were different, so i manually tried to
manually copy lines from the old working one to the standard gutsy.
the first change i made, the device driver from "intel" into "i810" already
made X working, but at 640x480, even if the resolution was set to the correct
1024x768 everywhere in the file.
as a second change, i added the missing lines "HorizSync 28-51" and
"VertRefresh 43-60". with these X started properly with the right resolution.
it follows the correct part of my xorg.conf file:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics
Device"
Driver "i810"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
Option "DPMS"
HorizSync 28-51
VertRefresh 43-60
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics
Device"
Monitor "Generic Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Modes "1024x768"
EndSubSection
EndSection
very happy to have the latest kubuntu up and running! anyway strange that the
gutsy livecd is not able to properly detect and assign such a popular
integrated graphic chip, where edgy and feisty had no problems with it..
hope this helps other early centrino users with this chip, Lo.
