My monitor still doesn't work under Hardy (8.04)
It is better in that the monitor is now being driven at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
but the display is off centre. The only way I can correct this is by
running xvidtune and clicking the left button 4 times. I have to do
this every time I log in which is tedious in the extreme.
The modeline (generated by xvidtune) is as follows:
ModeLine "1280x1024" 157.50 1280 1368 1528 1728
1024 1025 1028 1072 +hsync +vsync
I have tried adding this to the "Monitor" section in xorg.conf but it
seems to be ignored. As I said I now have to manually run xvidtune
after every login.
As a secondary issue it is also obvious that, when the box boots, the
monitor is being driven at an incorrect resolution as the fonts etc. on
the GDM screen are tiny and when the GNOME splash screen is displayed it
is rather small and is displayed towards the bottom right hand corner of
the monitor.
I therefore guess that the new xorg is using too high a resolution.
Finally when I drive the same monitor from my other machine, which has
an identical VGA card but which runs Windows, the picture is perfectly
sized and perfectly centred so it is not a matter of altering the
monitor controls. When I run a knoppix live CD on my Ubuntu box this
also drives the monitor correctly so it is definitely either an Ubuntu
or a xorg configuration issue.
After the Hardy upgrade the relevant portions of xorg.conf file are as
follows:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
# 2008/04/26 - Manually added ModeLine (hsync & vsync lines were also
added for reference).
# hsync range 0: 30.00 - 96.00
# vsync range 0: 50.00 - 160.00
ModeLine "1280x1024" 157.50 1280 1368 1528 1728 1024 1025
1028 1072 +hsync +vsync
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
EndSection
Ho hum.
