| ScottyK | greetings! I've got a test computer running 12.04, and with an 21 inch LCD monitor, the resolution is stuck at 1024x768 | 01:33 |
|---|---|---|
| ScottyK | montor keeps being detected as a laptop | 01:34 |
| philipballew | ScottyK, what have you done so far? | 01:35 |
| ScottyK | installed the nvidia drivers (let additional drivers do it), and have all current packages | 01:35 |
| philipballew | ScottyK, was it like it without the nvidia drivers? | 01:36 |
| ScottyK | just rebooted, now unity isn't coming up at all, just the wallpaper and the mouse. humm.. | 01:36 |
| ScottyK | philipballew - don't know, had nvidia from the beginning | 01:36 |
| ScottyK | only thing that changed was I had an old LCD 16 inch monitor connected | 01:37 |
| philipballew | how long have you been a Linux user? | 01:37 |
| ScottyK | 2 years. mostly run Kubuntu though. | 01:37 |
| ScottyK | wanted to give unity a try! | 01:37 |
| philipballew | I know you can edit the xorg file and such | 01:38 |
| ScottyK | that's what I'm wondering now. Maybe it's still has the old monitor settings! | 01:38 |
| ScottyK | xorg file, forgot about that one. thanks!! | 01:38 |
| philipballew | I know theres some gui app that does it | 01:39 |
| philipballew | ScottyK, try this | 01:39 |
| philipballew | just go to the cog in the top right and click that then system sessings. then see if you get get and change it there | 01:39 |
| ScottyK | philipballew tried that. Under the display it just gives me two options (1024x768) and (800x600), which now that I think about it were the settings of the old monitor | 01:41 |
| ScottyK | because it's a test computer, I think i'll just frag it and start over. No data loss anyway! | 01:41 |
| philipballew | hold on | 01:41 |
| philipballew | did you reset x yet? | 01:41 |
| ScottyK | philipballew - no | 01:42 |
| philipballew | did you reset the computer? | 01:42 |
| ScottyK | yes | 01:42 |
| philipballew | that would do it, id personally edit the xorg file for fun before i whipe it | 01:43 |
| philipballew | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 01:43 |
| ScottyK | ok - i'll try editing the xorg file, couldn't hurt! | 01:43 |
