The solution is to hope avivo-driver matures so you don't need vesa (or fglrx).
VESA (the standard, not just the driver) was designed for 4/3 screens, there's nothing you can do about it. Or maybe there is; see if the BIOS has some setting where you can tell it not to fill the screen, but keep a sane aspect ratio. Anyway, closing. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: xorg (Baltix) Status: New => Invalid -- VESA Driver Doesn't Support Widescreen Modes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/136699 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
