Hi all, I am having a strange problem and I can't find any help either googling or on the x.org site.
I have just bought a new pc: the components are CPU: intel core2duo with 4 Gb of RAM MB: asus p5ql-em VGA: intel g43 (integrated on the MB) Monitor: asus vw198s I installed ubuntu 8.10 (amd64). The first problem is that the correct resolution of the monitor (1680x1050) is not recognized out of the box: after installation, it ran at a lower resolution (1360x768) and I was not able to change it. This surprised me. I couldn't find on the net a valid modeline for my monitor, so I followed the instructions on http://www.x.org/wiki/FAQVideoModes#head-82230a582646cbf28ac41dec2139732ee868e0d2 to obtain a valid modeline using powerstrip. I got the following Modeline "1680x1050" 147.600 1680 1784 1968 2256 1050 1051 1054 1087 -hsync +vsync Is this ok? It looks like, since I put it into /etc/X11/xorg.conf and, this way, the resolution is correct. But now it comes another problem: sometime (not everytime) when I logout to change user instead of the usual gdm greeting I get that the monitor has no signal and goes automatically in poweroff: the only thing that I can do is an hard reboot of the pc. I can't understand the origin of this problem. Thanks a lot for your help Fabio _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
