My monitor's native resolution is 1680x1050. Ubuntu offers me to choose 1680x1200 which makes the text extremely small to see (To the extent that my eyes have started to hurt) and the windows a lil bit stretched , all the other resolution look plain ugly. :(I had previously installed 9.04 the resolution was just fine. It seems like my graphic adapter is not supported in this release.I have no graphic card installed and I am using my integrated graphics of P4M800.lspci results in the following:00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.

For Epson Printers, I get the native resolution from the members, dmPrintQuality and dmYResolution of the DEVMODE data structure, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd183565(VS.85).aspx, but this doesn't work for Canon printers which give a negative value for the former and zero for the latter. By trial and error, I know the Canon native resolution is usually 600 dpi, but what does Canon and Microsoft expect programmers to do to get the native resolution?
I want to buy my son a lcd monitor for Christmas. I'm pretty well decided on the 22" Samsung 226 BW which has a native resolution of 1680 X 1050. His computer has an NVIDIA Geforce 6800 GS AGP video card with a maximum resolution of 1280 X 1024 (it does fine with the current CRT). He plays a lot of Warcraft 3. Will the 1680 X 1050 lcd monitor work well with the video card? Suggestions?

I have a GeForce 6600 on an x86_64 Mandriva Linux box, and a Hyundai 32" monitor.The native resolution is 1360x768. The open-source nv driver works fine at this resolution (see attached xorg.conf). However, the nvidia driver ignores my modelines and resolution lines, and defaults to 1280x1024, which is not only wrong, but the wrong aspect ratio, so everything is stretched. 1360x768 is listed in the EDID, so I'm not sure why it's ignoring it. See attached log. I've also tried deleting the vert/horiz lines, the modelines, and the resolution lines allowing everything to go automatic, with th

I'm a Linux novice, and am getting to my wits end.The monitor's native resolution is 1360x768 and my video card is Intel 825865G.

Hey. I just installed Ubuntu and updated and installed all my video card drivers. It seems that it has detected the wrong native resolution with my monitor. I have an Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT video card with a native 1440x900 monitor.For some reason, the nvidia configuration says that my native resolution is only 640x480. Is there any way to change this using xorg.conf or maybe through terminal?
So I was trying to get my HDTV to work as an external monitor for my laptop through a VGA cable. I fiddled things around with the system>prefs>screen resolution tool, and at one point I agreed to change the virtual resolution. At this point, both the external and the laptop monitors switched over to 1360x768 (native for the TV), and both mirroring and side-by-side worked, albeit with the laptop at a weird resolution (although sometimes the mouse would refuse to travel over). When I disconnected the external, I can't figure out how to go back to 1440x900, my laptop's native. It lists out
GreetingsI have a Nvidia 5600 ultra video card and a Westinghouse Wide screen LCD monitor. My native resolution is 1440x900 and it works fine except when I enable the effects. When I enable the effects I lose my native aspect ratio which is wide screen and my resolution will not set any higher than 800x600 but the effects do work. I have the outputs auto detected and set in CCSM and it still does not work. Can anyone help?
My 19' Dell monitor has a native resolution of 1440x900. Ever since I installed Ubuntu on it, Nvidia X Server Settings (System -> Administration) allows me to display at a higher resolution (if not set to Auto I am able to set it at 1920x1080) than my Native and what Windows Vista allowed me in the past. My question is will running on a higher resolution have a negative impact on the Image Quality, my screen or any other hardware?
I am planning on installing Ubuntu on my new laptop with a native resolution of 1920x1080 however the install disc (I booted into the "test") part, sets my resolution to 2048x1536. Keeping it on 2048x1536 cuts off about 50 pixels on the right side of my screen so it must not be right. So I tried changing it from the "Monitors" settings back to 1920x1080 and everything is so large and it is stretched horizontally. Is this just because I'm running the "try me" part, or is there something wrong with Ubuntu and my video card?Product: US-VPCF1290X-LBOMComponent: Standa

Any suggestions?
<EDIT> Never mind. I actually do have a GeForce4 MX 460 in this pc. I have a 7950gt in a different pc. Oops. I guess the MX 460 cant do 1600x1200 on the dvi output but somehow it can do it on the vga output? I guess I could just use a vga connection instead of the dvi connection. </EDIT>The problem I'm having is that my LCD monitor (acer AL2021) can't be used at it's native resolution of 1600x1200. This is probably because my GeForce 7950gt graphics card is not being recognized. Xorg seems to think my card is a GeForce4 M 460. (It's not, really!) I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.Here's w

So I am running 10.4 on an HP dv7t with a nVidia card. Previously running 9.10 and everything was working well until my HDD died and I had to get a new one. I did a clean install of 10.4 and I can't get my display settings to work right. Under system>preferences>monitors the 17" laptop screen is set to the native 1600x900, but when I set the external 26' monitor to its native 1920x1200, the monitor only displays "out of range". It works just fine at 1440x900 or even a bizarre 1280x1024, but everything looks like crap at those non-native resolutions. I'm a photographer and

First Post! Hi All,Plea for help: Can't set the right screen resolution.I recently bought a new lcd monitor: Samsung SyncMaster B1930 (as mentioned on its bezel).It's hooked to a Geforce 6200 Turbocache.The OS is Ubuntu Lucid (x86 PAE) booting off an external USB HDD. I use this drive to boot quite a few different computers. It's worked real well for me all this while.nvidia proprietry driver version 260.19.36 is installed.Now the issue is that for the B1930 it doesn't default to the native resolution, which I believe to be 1366x768. The resolution defaults to 1368x768. There's also 1360x768.
HiWhenever I connect my monitor to my laptop, it won't display the video at the native resolution.

I'm hoping someone here will be able to shed some light on the issue.I've recently installed 8.10 on my desktop, which has an intel 865G graphics controller and a wide-screen monitor. So far, I've been unable to convince X to use my monitor's native 1280x768 resolution.

Just came into a new widescreen Dell monitor, and its native resolution is 1440 x 900. In Ubuntu's resolution settings, I have the ability to choose from several widescreen settings, but not as high as 1440 x 900.For now, I have it set to 1280 x 800, and while it is legible, it's pretty jagged and ugly; certainly useless for photo editing, my main activity.Is there a way to tell Ubuntu to enable this resolution setting? I remember back in Dapper, we had to edit xorg.conf, which I'm willing to do if need be.Any insight would be greatly appreciated!-Mark

The System->Preferences->Screen Resolution tool also only has 1024x768 as an option.Does anyone have any ideas on how to get it to run at the native resolution

I have a 22" LCD Flatscreen monitor and I can't get its native resolution (1680x1050) in Ubuntu.

The native option just isn't available to me when I go to System->Preferences->Screen Resolution. 1280x1024 at 61Hz is the best I can see.

after reading some other resolution-related posts I learned a few things, but not enough to solve my problem, which is: i took out all the resolutions except 1280 x 1024 out of my config file. I put a custom modeline in. I know the exact specs of my monitor, and have put them in the conf file. Still though, kubuntu (kde?) seems to get its resolution from some sort of random number generator. Or the devil. It seems to give me everything i DON'T want, randomly. Right now its got its mind set on 1152 x 867. Looking at this logically..."it" (and is that kde or lower down the chain?) isn'
Hi, I have a dell D620 with an Nvidia GO 7300. I upgraded to gutsy, but have had some problems. At first, it would load the desktop (kinda), the cursor would work, but nothing else would show up and right clicking would not do anything. Failsafe-gnome worked, but that's no good. I tried re-installing the nvidia drivers, same thing.

I've just discovered Ubuntu (thanks to ShellCity (http://shellcity.net/)) and scholpped it unto my 8100. Whenever I switch to a non-native resolution (eg. anything other than 1600X1200), there's a black border around the entire viewable area. IOW, the lower resolutions don't seem to stretch out to fill up the entire display. I've installed the nVidia driver (with help from the fine Unofficial Ubuntu 4.10 Starter Guide (http://ubuntuguide.org/index.html#installnvidiadriver)), and it doesn't seem to help.

I've been trying everything I can think of, and every suggestion I can find, to get my Dell 24" 2407WFP-HC to display 1920x1200. I've messed with Modelines, installed the latest NVIDIA X driver, etc, no dice. One odd thing that I've found is that in the NVIDIA-settings config app, it shows the native resolution, and best fit resolution, as 1600x1200. That seems kind of odd to me, since I know for a fact (and half the reason I bought it) the screen will display 1920x1200, and that's it's native resolution. I've gotten it to work fine in XP, but Ubuntu (7.10) seems to think otherwise.Any id
