when i boot i hear the drums and do the ctrl+alt+f1 thing and login in but none of the commands can be found.
I typed in "sudo /ect/init.d/gdm stop"
"command /ect/init.d/gdm" cannot be found"
or something like that

The path is "/etc/init.d/gdm stop" not "ect". Also, gdm won't work if you're not using Gnome (standard Ubuntu install). You use kdm if you have Kubuntu and xdm if you have Xubuntu.

heh, i figured that out a few hours after my last post
i haven't used ubuntu since edgy -- this must be a new tool?
I think it is new with Gutsy, they use it in Hardy, too.

If anyone is still having issues with this in Hardy Heron, try this command
Then you can try to restart X with ctrl+alt+bksp , restart or powerfail completely.Code:gksu displayconfig-gtk
I power failed my machine and it came back with correct resolution. Rebooting or restarting X might work. I am so wiped right now, I am confused as to what fixed it. What a freaking mess...
I had this when I couldn't set the screen resolution. It remaind at 600x800...
Neither dpkg-reconfigure nor -phigh worked.
To do it manually:
apt-get install xresprobe
xresprobe -n
make a backup of xorg.conf:
Then edit the xorg config file:Code:cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.backup.conf
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Look out for these sections:
Code:Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor" DisplaySize 376 301 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Monitor "Configured Monitor" EndSection
And change them to this:
Get the values for hsync and vsync via:Code:Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor" DisplaySize 328 248 HorizSync 30-85 VertRefresh 50-120 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Device "Configured Video Device" Monitor "Configured Monitor" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" EndSubSection EndSection
and get the available modes viaCode:xresprobe -n
Code:fbset -x

In a world without walls and fences, who needs Windows and Gates?
Linux is like a wigwam.... no Gates, no Windows but Apache inside!

apt-get install libstdc++6-4.3-doc
This HowTo is outdated now, it doesn't really apply to Hardy, Intrepid, or Jaunty (testing) - the newer X servers rely more on autodetection than they used to. These days, this method is mostly only useful to resetting a manually configured xorg.conf or one that was modified by restricted drivers, which can be useful after a kernel upgrade in which the restricted drivers were not recompiled after the update.
