New question #76283 on Ubuntu:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/76283
System is booting at 800x600 and the desired resolution with the Philips 191EW
monitor is 1366x768 @ 60Hz.
Installed the NVIDIA driver in Jaunty 9.04 via System>Administration>Hardware
Drivers and so now have the NVIDIA GUI to make changes with. Changing to
1366x768 worked fine but were not permitted to save the changes to the
xorg.conf file. Changed the permissions using:
sudo chmod g+w /etc/X11/xorg.conf
sudo chmod g+w /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
But still denied permission so worked around it manually. The GUI allows you
to preview the updated xorg.conf file before attempting to save it, so copy and
pasted the contents into a new file using sudo gedit which was then used to
replace the original xorg.conf
The new xorg.conf file contains the section:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "TwinView" "0"
Option "metamodes" "1366x768_60 +0+0"
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
EndSubsection
EndSection
System is still booting to 800x600 however. Thought of removing "metamodes"
from the above option, but I'd prefer to understand the changes I'm making
before recklessly blasting ahead. After consulting textbook, also thought of
adding:
Modes "1366x768"
to the "Display" Subsection, but don't want to mess it up through
experimentation.
Might do some more searching in the forum at
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=14
There is also the nvidia-bug-report.sh utility which can be emailed directly to
NVIDIA. But am posting here first in case there is something simple I've
overlooked.
By the way, the new xorg.conf file has a comment line at the beginning which
reads, "# Note that some configuration settings that could be done previously
in this file, now are automatically configured by the server and settings here
are ignored."
