[SOLVED] Only 2 screen res choices? With requested info

[WillHe3rd]

I only have 2 choices for screen res, 640x480 and 800x600. It appears I have the right driver and it seems to be working though I could be wrong. I did a search and tried what little I could find but it didnt help. Reed9 aske me to post the following info

lspci | grep -i vga

billy@billy-desktop:~$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
cat: /etc/X11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory

Im just starting to learn all of this so any help would be awesome!

[reed9]

Create an xorg.conf file

gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Paste in this (thanks to Devils Casper's various posts)

Note that the refresh rates given are generic, and should work with most monitors. Ideally, you should look in your monitor's manual or google for your monitor's actual refresh rates. The modes in the display subsection can also be tweaked.

Save and restart your session.

Would it make a dif if Im using a lcd tv with a computer monitor input? It worked great with windows but Linux is deff not windows!

As long as you set the right resolution and refresh rate it should be fine.
I've been using an LCD TV as a second monitor for my linux laptop for years.

I followed the instructions you gave me and restarted my computer. I got this message:

Ubuntu is running in low graphics mode
(EE) Problem parsing the congig file
(EE) error parsing the config file

Then I had a few options. I viewd the start up errors and got the following:

fatal server error
server is already active for display 0, if the server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.xo-lock and start again

(WW)xf86CloseConsole:KDSETMODE failed: bad file discription
(WW)xf86CloseConsole:VT_GETMODE failed: bad file discription
(WW)xf86CloseConsole:VT-GETSTATE- failed: bad file discription

[trutheality]

Looks like a typo in xorg.conf
Check that you edited it correctly.

[WillHe3rd]

I just pasted from the post above. Im way to knew at this to know if its right or not.

[nmset]

You can also generate an xorg.conf file with

Xorg -configure

as root.

You must not be in runlevel 5 so boot in failsafe mode or get out from runlevel 5 in a terminal with

init 3

.

The new xorg.conf file will be written somewhere in root's home, the exact location will be displayed. Just copy it to /etc/X11/
It seems also that the module i810 could not be loaded, your distro's manual should point out how to install it from its repos.

[devils casper]

Its a typo in xorg.conf file only. Copy contents correctly from reed9's post, save file and reboot machine.

[WillHe3rd]

coppied and tripple checked to make sure they are the same and still same problem. Is it possible the above has an error. Like Im not sure what it would look like if it were wrong (or right). Thanks to you all that have gotten me this far! If someone could review this for errors Id be forever greatful.
