             vendor: Intel Corporation
             physical id: 2
             bus info: pci@0000:00:02.0

Additional info:
the xconf file is empty ,
the monitor is not detected : unknown monitor


I have tried this solution

gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

This creates an empty file; paste the following into the file and save:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "intel"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

Now my ubuntu os freezes or hangs after 4-5 minutes

help me solve this problem once and for all

I am having the same issue. Could someone please assist me. When I try to save the file I am getting this:

revnobody, just create the stated directory:

sudo mkdir -p /root/.local/share

Hope this helps to solve your issue, too.

How to install "Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE " drivers?
I have tried this solution

gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

This creates an empty file;

I am working on the same problem

I know that this code is trying to create a new file, but many of the threads I read instruct that the Xorg.conf is a 'configurable' file, and that it should already be in the X11 folder. (I'm just hoping to adjust the screen size)

I am running Ubuntu 11.04

When I navigate to Places>Computer>File System>etc/X11, xorg.conf is not there.
Same if I go to terminal

cd /etc/X11
dir

--> xorg.conf is not found.

**However, there is a shortcut file "X", which is a 'link to executable(application/x-executable). The link target: /usr/bin/Xorg


So running the 'gedit' command for a file that is in another folder seems that it will never work, so I tried:

sudo gedit /usr/bin/xorg.conf

still opening a blank new file.


Anybody want to be the hero today?!?!?

but many of the threads I read instruct that the Xorg.conf is a 'configurable' file, and that it should already be in the X11 folder. (I'm just hoping to adjust the screen size)

Since Ubuntu 10.04, there is no mandatory, fully configured 'xorg.conf' by default anymore, see here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config

Now, for any settings that aren't specified in an - optional - 'xorg.conf' X is pulling the defaults. So, if you just want to specify the screen resolution, you just need to add those specific settings.

Hope it helps!
