I did have the same problem almost when I installed intrepid to try it. I overcame the problem after backing up xorg.conf
Code:
cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xporg.conf.backup
by manually editing the xorg.conf file with
Code:
gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and entering the display resolution and refresh rate I wanted in the following format.
Code:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
HorizSync 30-80
VertRefresh 50-75
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Modes "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
Find the resolution needed from the monitor specs and do similar to your xorg.conf file.
