To big resolution

**kansasnoob** · March 2nd, 2009

Well, I've been looking and found this:

http://wiki.openchrome.org/tikiwiki/...ind=&forumId=1

I am currently running 1280x800 on Ubuntu Intrepid, using native
Openchrome driver on a VN800 chipset (Gateway MX3215 Laptop). I have
attached my xorg.conf if it can be of any help at all. It took me days
to get these setting just right (and 3D works perfectly with it).

I unzipped the .gz:

Now, mind you, I have no way of knowing whether or not this will work!

So proceed at your own risk!

I know this is an old topic, but i spent the better part of two days getting Ubuntu 9.10 working on a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Pro v2030.

I got the same error as the other guy namely that the display operated at a virtual resolution of 1600x1200 even though being capable of a much smaller resolution.

I read this thread and made my own modded version of the xorg.conf (yes, Ubuntu 9.10 will use it if it is there) which is attached to this post

The problem with the xorg.conf from this thread is that it's written for a 1280*800 display, and the Amilo v2030 only has 1024*768.

Save the attached file (xorg.txt) on the desktop and rename the file (xorg.txt) to xorg.conf

Move the xorg.conf to /etc/X11/ and restart the machine.

The xorg.conf looks like this by the way:

Ubuntu UniChrome 1600x1200 Amilo Pro V2030

**cova** · January 9th, 2010

Thanks for this JetarR. Was just installing Ubuntu on my Amilo and was going to have a play with the xorg.conf when I got home from work. Hopefully this should do the trick. Will let you know.

EDIT: Yeah, works great thanks. One small thing, I know my monitor can also support 1280x800. Any idea what value string i should add to the xorg for that with relation to the vsync and hsync? Much appreciated.

EDIT 2: Ended up just inserting the basic config and works fine with 1280x800 now.
