Hi vasa1
You have a point I did say it was solved and then unsolved but here goes...
I removed all the nvidia drivers because glx wasn't working and went back to the Nouveau driver....
As TheFu points out one should try these drivers....
With the Nouveau driver active I didn't have the resolution I wanted so I need to add that to my selection and the easiest way to do that was using xrandr:
First I generated a modeline:
Code:
$ cvt 1280 1024 60 (1280x1024 being the missing resolution I wanted on my server)
This gave me the following readout:
# 1280x1024 59.89 Hz (CVT 1.31M4) hsync: 63.67 kHz; pclk: 109.00 MHz
Modeline "1280x1024_60.00" 109.00 1280 1368 1496 1712 1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync
I tried to see if I had a standard output:
Code:
xrandr --addmode VGA-0 1280x1024_60.00 (but this output couldn't be found)
To establish my output I ran the following:
Code:
$ xrandr | grep -e " connected [^(]" | sed -e "s/\([A-Z0-9]\+\) connected.*/\1/"
Which gave me the following:
Now I added the resolution I wanted:
Code:
xrandr --addmode DVI-I-1 1280x1024_60.00
I then created a ~/.xprofile with gpedit and added the following:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
xrandr --newmode "1280x1024_60.00" 109.00 1280 1368 1496 1712 1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode DVI-I-1 1280x1024_60.00
To implement my new setting I ran the following:
Code:
xrandr -s 1280x1024
I then rebooted my machine and after logging in I could find a new resolution under screen settings...
But I might have to redo all this if I need to change my distro....
Thanks to two threads for info on xrandr: https://askubuntu.com/questions/3779...tom-resolution and ~/.xprofile https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Res...with_.xprofile
