Can only run in "Low-Graphics" mode... What are these errors?

[mingle]

Hi,

This is an additional to my issue of being stuck with low resolutions after a clean install.

If I run from the LiveCD I now get the following error (I guess when X-windows is starting up):

"Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode...

the following errors occured:

(EE) intel(0): No valid modes
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a useable configuration"

Hmm... Seems it can find any info for my GFX card..

Does anyone know if there are 3rd party drivers I can try and load?

Cheers,

Mike.

What graphics card do you have? There are drivers for ATI and Nvidia cards.
If you can post the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log, then we might be able to help more.

Hi,

My PC has integrated Intel Corporation 82845G/GL GFX.

Seems to be mentioned in the log file, but I can't set any screen res apart from 640x480 & 800x600...

Here is my xorg.0.log file (apologies if it's a little on the long side!)

[elliotn]

I once had the same problem and guess what? It was just the cable that wasnt mounted correctly. Try to push in the cable in the gfx card

[Aearenda]

It's an Intel card so no 3rd party drivers are needed. It seems that the horizontal sync reported by the monitor is weird - and a bad cable could indeed do that, as elliotn says. If that's not it, please post the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

If you can, it would be useful to verify the monitor is working at higher resolutions using a different computer and/or a different operating system (or live CD).

EDIT: I've just come across your parallel thread, with more hardware details, and I suggest you stick with that thread for now. You can force the Intel driver to load by putting 'intel' instead of 'vesa' in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Also, you can override the horizontal sync setting in there, as documented by entering 'man xorg.conf' in a terminal. However, it may well be that the driver has regressed for your system as suggested in the other thread. There have been threads about using leading edge intel drivers using a PPA, and also about reverting to older drivers using a different PPA (see this wiki article (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReinhardTartler/X/RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4)).

@elliotn & Aearenda,

That's it (sort of)! I had the monitor connected via a KVM switch, which was obviously somehow causing issues identifying the correct monitor/driver...

I just connected the monitor directly to my Linux PC and did a clean install and it now looks fine!

To say I'm happy is an understatement!

Cheers,

Mike.

[Aearenda]

Glad to hear it! Thanks for letting us know.
