How Do I Set Proper Screen Resolution?
Hello,
Even I have faced the same problem . It been a month I installed a Dual Boot with Win XP & Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala.
Its all worked fine but when I tried to set the screen resolution through
System>Preferences>Display tells me my Monitor is "unknown".
When I click "detect monitors" it does nothing.
The screen resolution is set incorrectly at 800X600, which makes page's sides beyond the edges of the screen. It shows 600x400 & 800X600 and 800x600 is the top setting on the drop down menu provided. Those, of course are 4 to 3 ratios.
My monitor is LG 700E 17" CRT & When I checked my computer's Display Adapter , I found it as Intel 82945G Xpress Chipset Family with a maximum resolution of 1280x1024.
How can I install a suitable display driver for this? How do I set my screen resolution to my desire i.e., more than 800x600?
Would someone please help me for it?
Thank you
