I discovered something interesting today, I can successfully change the resolution the graphical way (i.e.: System > Preferences > Screen Resolution) to 1440x900 IF I change the refresh rate to 75 Hz at the same time (i.e.: select 1440x900 from the resolution drop-down, then 75 Hz from the refresh rate drop-down, and then click apply). And after rebooting the resolution remains set properly (at 1440x900) whereas before if I used the xrandr command I would have to do it everytime I started up.
As for Intrepid, should I continue commenting here on this thread or start a new bug report? I'll just say what's happened so far: I tried Intrepid alpha 4 and I get as far as the Ubuntu loading screen (ubuntu icon and orange progress bar) but then the monitor goes blank for a second, then flashes "Input not supported" (it's an acer AL1916W 19", I'm using DVI hookup) -- [Hardy] system freezes after setting resolution to 1440 x 900 with Radeon 7500 graphics card, when using DVI output, Acer AL1916W monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/234811 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
