Vertical screen wrap

[Tomatz]

Try installing it first

sudo apt-get install displayconfig-gtk

then

gksu displayconfig-gtk

Just try changing the resolution with the app first

I am still looking, but obviously there is no package by that name in the default repositories.

Seems intrepid no longer uses any xorg configuration method (IMO stupid):

To check you are using the correct drivers:

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel

Hope that helps.

P.s Have you tried changing the screen resolution in System, Preferences, Screen Resolution?

[lingenfr]

Thanks. As referenced in that link, I am also using the intel driver. I checked and I have the latest version. If you read the links referenced in the link you provided, for me it seems like xrandr may be my only hope. I found that it is provided by x11-xserver-utils which for me was already the newest version. I am going to play with that command and see what I can do.

And yes, of course, using the screen resolution tool was the first thing I tried. It offers no choices other than the current ones.

Also, I thought that I would take a screenshot so folks could see what I was talking about. Unfortunately, in the screenshot, it appears correctly. I took a picture with my camera which is not great, but I think you can get the idea. If you look at the bottom taskbar, you will see that about 30% of it is cut off. If you look at the top taskbar you will see that there is additional taskbar above the normal taskbar. It has some horizontal lines, etc. Check above the red button on the top right.

I am having the very same problem on my Libretto running Kubuntu 8.10. Everything was perfect, then on Sunday I did all the updates sense the 22nd through the 1st and now I have the same wrap problem.

[lingenfr]

Yes, I expect we need to open a bug report for the intel driver. I will try and do that tomorrow. If you get there before me, please post a link so I don't post a duplicate.

[ingrambw]

I am pretty new to Kubuntu and Linux in general, and it looks like you have more background information on the problem, so I will defer to you for the ticket submission.

BTW. When I ran the re-configure on xserver.org it did ask if I wanted to use the framebuffer or not, both a yes and no resulted in the same results after a reboot for each.

[lingenfr]

Yes, same results for me, I should have stated that in my previous message. After going through all of the links previously alluded to, last night I deleted the monitors file under my home directory and reboot, no joy. I will post a link to the bug once I have opened the ticket.

Me also having this problem on libretto U100 . tried everything in this thread plus adding modlines to xorg.conf and deleting/editing monitors.xml in ~/.config/

Maybe it's possible to use older intel driver for the time being?

[lingenfr]

I am thinking the same thing. I am going to research how to roll back to the previous version of the driver. I think that I am going to mount my install CD as a repository and see if I can load that driver as it did not have this problem.
