Problem with the screen resolution on Ubuntu 12.04
- by sveinn
I just installed ubuntu on my laptop. The screen resolution is stuck in 1024x768.
The screen is made for 1280x800. When I run xrandr I get:
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
1280x800 isn't offered and I get gamma size error. I was going to look into the Xorg.conf file but I couldn't locate it.
1280x800 was displayed in Windows 7 and I think it is being displayed in Grub before ubuntu starts also. Here are some details about my computer:
CPU
Intel atom D2500 1.86GHz
Chipset
Intel 945GSE+ICH7M
LCD
14" TFT 16:9
Resolution ratio
1280*800
Video Card
Intel integrated GMA950
Does anyone know how to fix this?
