Re: Display resolution
Snap. I tried to fix this problem so many times - thankfully I got it. (When I say paste - ignore the part that says Quote
1. open terminal (Applications > Accessories)
2. Paste
gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
hit enter and type your password (if you are prompted) and enter again.
3. Scroll to the bottom of the text that appears and paste
Save it and close it.
5. open a new terminal
6. paste
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0xce90d8983e731f79
7. Wait fr the thing to download
8. New terminal paste
9. Again add password if necessary
10 paste
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel-2.4
11. Enter password once more and wait till the thing finishes
thatll be you fixed
12. Close all programs
13. Open Terminal and paste
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
to reset ubuntu.
When i did it my monitor went crazy on reboot and I had to switch off at plug, but then on second reboot ubuntu's resolution was fine.
Hope I helped!
Owen.
