Wow! I got it!

First of all I used the first code regarded at the beginning of this topic. However, I got my monitor specifications and I knew its H Freq and V Freq.

The final code is:

Code:

Section "Device"
    Identifier    "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier    "Configured Monitor"
    HorizSync       30-50
        VertRefresh     50-120

EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier    "Default Screen"
    Monitor        "Configured Monitor"
    Device        "Configured Video Device"
    DefaultDepth    24
             SubSection      "Display"
                Viewport        0 0
                Depth           24
                Modes           "1024x768"
             EndSubSection
EndSection

However, Although another resolutions values appeared in the resolutions under display, prefrence, system , but the default refresh rate for 1024x768 is 87 Hz which leads two screen blinkng, but I found another value for the refresh rate to 60 Hz and then everything is gone fine.

Hey thanks that worked for me i know have an acceptable resolution just wondering though, Was that only for the g4 mac specs? I'm using a fujitsu siemens v5535 just seems to be a lil sluggish maybe its the refresh rate idk. Thanks again i will have a little play around and see if it can be improved!

Thank you Stream 303, I have had this problem for a year now, and after countless attempts to remedy the situation I gave up. Thanks to you however, my screen resolution is PERFECT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH! :)

Know it is bad form to bump an old thread but have to say thank you!

I modified my xorg.conf for an LG E2241 Flatron monitor on 10.10

Code:

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier    "LG E2241"
    HorizSync     30.0-83.0
    VertRefresh   56.0-75.0 
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Monitor         "LG E2241"
        Device          "Configured Video Device"
        DefaultDepth    24
             SubSection      "Display"
                Viewport        0 0
                Depth           24
                Modes           "1920x1080"
             EndSubSection
EndSection

Indeed!

The thread is an old one referring to a now-obsolete version of Ubuntu and has wandered around a bit. If anyone needs help changing their screen resolution in a supported version of Ubuntu, please start a new thread, linking back to this one if you wish.
