| 845116 | 2010-01-03 05:01:00 | Happy New Year, I have a Dell monitor, given to me by a friend, it works well. To get it working on my Linux Ubuntu 9.10 on other than 800x600; I need details such as ;Horiz: sync:', and 'Vert:, refresh' I'm amased at how difficult it is. Dell NZ wont let me sign up to ask because my 'phone number is not correct - Rubbish. I've googled and searched for ages. Has anyone any suggestions where I might find this info: please. thanks for replies..........sarum |

| 845117 | 2010-01-03 05:17:00 | Is that a LCD screen? If so, then you shouldn't need to do anything. Do you have a graphic driver installed? | Jen (38) | ||
| 845118 | 2010-01-03 06:45:00 | Yes it's an LCD, and the problem is not with drivers, but with Ubuntu 9.10 specifically. Previous Ubuntu versions recognised everything; well almost. Loads of '9.10' users with elderly machines are stuck with 800x600. But some saint/hacker has come up with a work-around, needing 'horz' and 'vert' and also, if poss: 'Maximum resolution' info:. The guy who gave me the monitor works for the IT dept: of a commercial firm. The monitor has always worked well with both Linux and XP. But; I just cannot find E 515 FPb anywhere - that's all I need. PS. I'm an elderly newby, but I understand from the Ubuntu forum that 9.10 hasn't got an 'xorg.conf' file. By inserting the required details and a bit more into(CLI) the console; then such a file is created, and all will be well, after other 'hacks' on the console. Thanks for such a quick reply |
