Activing my VGA, Ubuntu goes "Out Of Range"

[StormWalker]

Hi, I'm a new linux\Ubuntu User, this have being my first shots,
My computer is new and I was trying to install Ubuntu on it, I had few problems installing...every time that I tried I got this mensage in the monitor "Out Of Range"
but after a while studying I installed in safe graphics mode
But it only uses 800x600 of resolution, I tried to put in on 1024x768 and I can't.

I went to Hardware and tried to activate my graphic card that apparently wasn't active.
after it said to restart the computer to finish activing my graphic card, after that again I get the "Out Of Range"
Ican hear the sound when is Starts the OS is Working but no image just the big "Out Of Range"
the 800x600 resolution is way to big, I realy want to put it on 1024x768, but I dont know how.
I tried the xorg.conf and some sudo commands that I get in here like.
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
$ sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart

but it just wont work.

I realy dont know what to do.

I'm Using Ubuntu 8.10 64bit

and my graphic card is
MSI R4850-512M Radeon HD 4850 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16



MohtherBoard: DFI LP JR 790GX-M2RS AM2+/AM2 AMD 790GX HDMI AMD
Processor: AMD Phenom 9850 BLACK EDITION 2.5GHz Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core
Memory: (2x) mushkin 2GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800

Maybe after activating the 3d graphics driver, the resolution defaults to something greater than 1024x768, which in turn is too high for the monitor?

After activating the graphics driver, do not restart. Rather, check the resolution. If it is high, lower it to 1024x768. Then restart.

If it happens again, repeat but select 800x600 and see if 3d graphics driver stays enabled. If it does, then do the 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org' and be sure to select the appropriate driver, and as importantly, the desired resolution (assuming the monitor supports 1024x768).

I hope this helps. Not exactly sure though, but maybe worth a try.

when I activate it stills dont working... when I try to change on the Resolution the only Options are 800x600 and 600x240....
I try Ilot thing... tried to change the xorg.conf.....with no sucsses, I try to change but it still uses the .failsafe.....
I tried to fixed with no sucsses as well.....
I install the least driver for my card but when I try to enter the catalyst appears,
"There was a problem initializing Catalyst Control center Linux Edition. It Could be ..........I use a ATI HD 4850

this files are appearing every time that The failsafe comes.

everytime that I try to fix I get the "Out Of Range"....
If I got to the "HArdware Drivers" and Activate I got the "Out Of Range"
.........I tried to edit the xorg... the failsafe...de xorg.0.conf.... and when I reiniciate it comes to the screem....Working on Low-graphic mode... so I got to the XFix...and Againg all the same.. 800x600 ...




I don't know what to do... because when I had Windows I was using 1024x768 and was working fine........

I'm Reading some Ubuntu Books ... but I still can't fix that.... =)

[StormWalker]

Anybody ??

[Larrxi]

I'll get the same motherboard tomorrow because my old could not handle the Phenom 9950.

Maybe it is wrong with the monitor? Do you got a CRT? I had a Radeon 4850 a month ago got a out of range with a CRT.
