xubuntu not letting me log in

[lancebermudez]

please look at my text file cite will not let me put text here keeps saying it is a url. but it is not a url

I have an old hp computer with 256mb memory. i updated to the linux image that has the number 17 in the generic. i can not hit esc in grub to enter an the old 14 generic. every thing come up ok with the xubuntu log in screen but when i log in the screen get swrily and set me back to the login screen. on the 14 generic i had to change the realotion to 800x600 becuse the corners were fuzzy on 1024x768. what about setting the rezaltion over a ssh. ssh -C -X parkview@xubuntu xfce4-terminal or is it something else? i did a clean install of xubuntu. i was told to do

reinitializing my XFCE configuration. Log in outside of X (press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get a console login prompt or login via ssh) and then run the following commands:

mv /home/parkview/.config /home/parkview/.config.bkup
mv /home/parkview/.cache /home/parkview/.cache.bkup

that works exectp when i change the screen resalotion to 800x600. my screen doesnot like 1024x768. after i change it I cant log in any more tell i do

rm -vrf /home/parkview/.config
rm -vrf /home/parkview/.cache

but my screen is back at a crapy 1024x768. i do rm becure i already have it back up the first time.

cite would not let me post code kept saying it was a url but it is not

Hi and Welcome to the LinuxFourms !

You were getting Url error because of @ sign in your post. I have edited your post.

Which Graphics Card do you have? Post the output of this

sudo lscpi | grep -i vga
grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf

parkviewxubuntu:~$ sudo lspci | grep -i vga
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)

parkviewxubuntu:~$ grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
grep: /etc/X11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory

Execute this

sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

It will open xorg.conf in nano editor with root privileges.
Paste these contents in xorg.conf file :

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"Configured Video Device"
	Driver		"vesa"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier	"Generic Monitor"
	Option		"DPMS"
	HorizSync	30-71
	VertRefresh	50-160
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"Default Screen"

	EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier	"Default Layout"
	Screen		"Default Screen"
	InputDevice	"Generic Keyboard"
	InputDevice	"Generic Mouse"
EndSection

Press Ctrl+X, Y and hit Enter key to save file. Reboot machine.
In case it doesn't work, replace "vesa" driver with "i810".
