dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg reconfigures /etc/X11/xorg.conf to the standard (minimal) configuration. Since this fixed it for you, there was apparently some misconfiguration. Looking at your old xorg.conf I cannot see anything that should have this effect. Maybe you can upload /etc/X11/xorg.conf, /var/log/Xorg.0.log and the output of `xrandr --verbose` (preferably as an attachment). Then we can check that your new configuration didn't turn off something useful.
@Martin, I have seen once that `dpkg -phigh xserver-xorg` sets the driver to "vesa". This may happen if some error is detected during installation. I prefer renaming xorg.conf, since that will give the default xorg configuration and not whatever debconf thinks is right. -- 1" black space either side of display area https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/371863 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
