So you probably experienced a random bug that disappeared next time you started xorg to check if the change to xorg.conf had done anything. While I believe that you saw a real problem, unless you can make it come back there is not really anywhere we can start to find out what the problem was. I'm therefore closing this bug for now. If you later realize that this occurs in a specific situation or randomly in, say, 1 out of 20 times you start your computer, you may reopen this bug by setting the status back to "New". ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- [i945] Intel display settings not available after upgrade to jaunty (found workaround) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/368784 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” source package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: xorg Upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04 jaunty jackalope. The maximum display resolution available in the settings was now 1028 by 800, and not the right shape for my laptop, leaving unused space at both sides of the screen. I fixed this by editing xorg.conf (gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf) and stating that the intel driver is to be used, thus: Change from: Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" EndSection To: Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" Driver "intel" EndSection Now the 1280 x 768 I need for this Sony Vaio VGN-N270E is available as a display setting and is working fine. However, this appears to be a 9.4 upgrade bug. When I originally installed 8.10 the display driver worked right away, without any set up needed by me. This problem is relatively trivial and easy to workaround, but I fear many users will simply revert to 8.10 when they can't immediately set up the display in 9.4.
