Full Version: Video card Question on Ubuntu
I'm using Ubuntu 5.04 (hoary) and i installed the drivers the way i was told by going to the terminal and typing "sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx" and then i rebooted. but for some reason i still can't change my screen resolution i'd like it to be 1280x1064, but all i seem to be able to get is 1024x768, 800x600, 640x480, and 832x624. anyone help me out?
Can you post your xorg.conf file? It is located in /etc/X11/
It is most likely that the res you are looking for isn't listed in that file.

1280x1064? or did you mean 1280x1024?
When I installed, 1280x1024 worked flawlessly.

Here it is.. and that resolution isn't in there.. is there a way to put it in?

yeah, that is what i meant
Yes, it can be added in quite easily (and use "1280x1024"). You must be root (or use sudo to invoke your editor)
Since your "DefaultDepth" is listed as 24 bits, add the new resolution to the front of the list for that color depth. You can add it for all of them, too, if you wish.
Once edited, you may have to restart X (use CTRL+ALT+[backspace] to do this the easiest way)

I would like to say that this is the only thing that worked for me.
