Okay, so auto detection fails with Feisty. Just a work around for you:
In xorg.conf replace Driver "vesa" with Driver "nv" ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Needs Info => Confirmed ** Summary changed: - 1280x1024 screen resolution not supported in Feisty + NVIDIA GeForce2 MX-400 not autodetected on Feisty ** Description changed: - The highest resolution supported by Feisty is 1024x768, although my - monitor's, Samsung SyncMaster 913n native resolution is 1280x1024. + The NVIDIA GeForce2 MX-400 is not being autodetected on Feisty. Instead, + Ubuntu uses the ugly vesa driver. - It seems that xorg.conf actually contains the correct resolution, but - somehow System->Preferences->Display resolution applet won't show it in - the list of available resolutions. - - I have the latest Feisty (including all updates). Edgy detects the - correct resolution without any problems. + The autodetection (nv should be used) worked on releases prior to + Feisty. -- NVIDIA GeForce2 MX-400 not autodetected on Feisty https://launchpad.net/bugs/91222 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
