Greetings,
I have used Ubuntu for almost two months now, and was very happy with it until I did my first fatal mistake; I upgraded to Natty Narwhal.
Every since my upgrade, the resolution on my computer has been shot to hell. No longer can my laptop use 1280x800, as I am stuck with 1024x768 or 800x600, and it's driving me crazy. In addition, Compiz doesn't do jack sh*t anymore (pardon my language). Can any of you esteemed geniuses show me on my way? I have googled for two days now, and I'm no closer to fixing it. Since I'm new to Linux, I figured I should ask here before I screw it up further, resulting in my embarrassed return to Windows 7.
I don't know what info would be relevant to you, but from what I've seen so far, people usually ask for this:
Logical@CrapPC:~$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (primary) (rev 03)
As well as:
Logical@CrapPC:~$ xrandr
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 800 x 600, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768
default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm
1024x768 61.0*
800x600 61.0 I hope this is a problem some of you have solved before. I've tried searching on the board here as well, but I couldn't find anything that helped me.
