[17:39] <dlbass> Hello everyone!
[17:41] <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?
[17:42] <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?
[17:45] <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?
[17:46] <dlbass> Sure, I will be right back.

[17:48] <alkisg> OK so your current resolution is 1280x1024, and you want something different?
[17:49] <alkisg> Also are you sure that you got this output while booting with the *CRT* monitor?
[17:52] <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.
[17:53] <alkisg> So the problem is that your graphics driver doesn't read the EDID information from the display properly
[17:54] <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
[17:55] <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
[17:56] <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
[17:57] <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/
[18:00] <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
[18:01] <dlbass> and sudo su, then gedit, and nano
[18:04] <dlbass> Ok, I am going to try it in a different machine, there are 13 like this one.
[18:07] <dlbass> aaaaahhhhhh! case sensitive OS! I can never remember that
[18:08] <dlbass> going to reboot, be right back alkisg.
[18:09] <dlbass_> It is still doing it.
[18:12] <dlbass_> Or is it, I think it might be working
[18:13] <alkisg> You should have 1024x768 resolution now
[18:13] <alkisg> Run xrandr to verify
[18:13] <dlbass_> it is 1280x1024@60
