| dlbass | Hello everyone! | 17:39 |
|---|---|---|
| dlbass | I have a really big problem. I have a classroom of Dell GX110 running 10.04. When I connect an LCD display everything works fine. If i connect a CRT the image is "zoomed in". | 17:41 |
| alkisg | Hello | 17:41 |
| dlbass | Does anyone know anything about this? | 17:41 |
| alkisg | Are you using LTSP? | 17:42 |
| dlbass | not here | 17:42 |
| alkisg | What's the output of "xrandr" when you connect the CRT display? | 17:42 |
| dlbass | it shows all the normal resolutions and refresh rates | 17:45 |
| dlbass | no apparent errors | 17:45 |
| alkisg | Can you put it to pastebin? | 17:45 |
| dlbass | Sure, I will be right back. | 17:46 |
| dlbass | student@SES-FS2G20B:~$ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 640 x 400, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1280 x 1024 default connected 1280x1024+0+0 0mm x 0mm 1280x1024 60.0* 75.0 1280x960 60.0 1152x864 75.0 70.0 60.0 1024x768 75.0 60.0 70.0 832x624 75.0 800x600 75.0 60.0 72.0 56.0 640x480 75.0 60.0 73.0 720x400 70.0 stud | 17:48 |
| alkisg | OK so your current resolution is 1280x1024, and you want something different? | 17:48 |
| alkisg | Also are you sure that you got this output while booting with the *CRT* monitor? | 17:49 |
| dlbass | sorry for the delay | 17:52 |
| dlbass | talking to my boss | 17:52 |
| dlbass | I did this: boot with LCD, switch to CRT, and the CRT is working mostly. But if I boot with the CRT it does teh zoomed in thing. | 17:52 |
| alkisg | So the problem is that your graphics driver doesn't read the EDID information from the display properly | 17:53 |
| dlbass | That's precisely what I was thinking, I tried the modeset=0, and that worked a few times, and others it didnt | 17:54 |
| dlbass | So, I guess I might have been passing it in the wrong way, but I was holding shift at boot to get GRUB2, then pressing e, then adding modeset=0 to the end of the kernel section | 17:54 |
| dlbass | If I took a picture of what it looks like, would that help any? | 17:55 |
| alkisg | Create an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file with the following contents: | 17:55 |
| alkisg | http://pastebin.com/9Fuhn386 | 17:55 |
| alkisg | Reboot and see if the problem is solved | 17:56 |
| dlbass | pastebin is blocked, can you just paste it in here? | 17:56 |
| alkisg | I think the floodbot won't allow it | 17:56 |
| dlbass | We are behind ASC blocks, and they block almost every useful site. | 17:57 |
| alkisg | Is paste.ubuntu.com also blocked for you? | 17:57 |
| dlbass | it is not | 17:57 |
| dlbass | YAY | 17:57 |
| alkisg | http://paste.ubuntu.com/613352/ | 17:57 |
| dlbass | It is giving me an error, no ushc file or directory when trying to create it. | 18:00 |
| dlbass | I've never had this before | 18:00 |
| alkisg | sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 18:00 |
| alkisg | Paste the contents, and save | 18:00 |
| dlbass | That is what I was doing | 18:00 |
| dlbass | also tried sudo nano | 18:00 |
| dlbass | and sudo su, then gedit, and nano | 18:01 |
| dlbass | Ok, I am going to try it in a different machine, there are 13 like this one. | 18:04 |
| dlbass | aaaaahhhhhh! case sensitive OS! I can never remember that | 18:07 |
| dlbass | going to reboot, be right back alkisg. | 18:08 |
| dlbass_ | It is still doing it. | 18:09 |
| dlbass_ | Or is it, I think it might be working | 18:12 |
| alkisg | You should have 1024x768 resolution now | 18:13 |
| alkisg | Run xrandr to verify | 18:13 |
| dlbass_ | it is 1280x1024@60 | 18:13 |
