DingleBerries Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I googled since 2am, that may have been part of the problem, but i cannot seem to get an extended monitor to work. This is what I get from 915resolution: sudo 915resolution -l Intel 800/900 Series VBIOS Hack : version 0.5.3 Chipset: 965GM BIOS: TYPE 1 Mode Table Offset: $C0000 + $268 Mode Table Entries: 36 Mode 30 : 640x480, 8 bits/pixel Mode 32 : 800x600, 8 bits/pixel Mode 34 : 1024x768, 8 bits/pixel Mode 38 : 1280x1024, 8 bits/pixel Mode 3a : 1600x1200, 8 bits/pixel Mode 3c : 1920x1440, 8 bits/pixel Mode 41 : 640x480, 16 bits/pixel Mode 43 : 800x600, 16 bits/pixel Mode 45 : 1024x768, 16 bits/pixel Mode 49 : 1280x1024, 16 bits/pixel Mode 4b : 1600x1200, 16 bits/pixel Mode 4d : 1920x1440, 16 bits/pixel Mode 50 : 640x480, 32 bits/pixel Mode 52 : 800x600, 32 bits/pixel Mode 54 : 1024x768, 32 bits/pixel Mode 58 : 1280x1024, 32 bits/pixel Mode 5a : 1600x1200, 32 bits/pixel Mode 5c : 1920x1440, 32 bits/pixel Mode 60 : 512x771, 8 bits/pixel Mode 61 : 512x771, 16 bits/pixel Mode 62 : 512x771, 32 bits/pixel Mode 63 : 1280x800, 8 bits/pixel Mode 64 : 1280x800, 16 bits/pixel Mode 65 : 1280x800, 32 bits/pixel I tried editing my xorg.conf but to no avail. If anyone has the same chipset and has been able to get this to work please chime in.. This is the only forum I belong to, so thats why I didnt post in the ubuntu forums.

From what i read,xorg is your only option, theres some other thing starting with an r i forgot the name but people complain about that method, one complaint being that the settings revert back when the computer is restarted.

But you should be able to write a start up script to and they should revert back everytime.. maybe add a few more seconds to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
