ubuntu server edition laptop screen resolution

Asked by Sam on 2007-10-06

Hello,

I am running Ubuntu 6.10 Server Edition on a Toshiba Tecra8000 laptop and I need some help changing the screen resolution from 640X480 to 1024X768. I am also running Xubuntu on a Satellite 4080XCDT and I was able to fairly easily correct the screen resolution by editing xorg.conf. Unfortunately, I noticed that Ubuntu Server Edition does not have an xorg.conf. Is there a similar configuration file that I should edit on the Server Edition? If so, can anyone tell where to find it and some advice on editing it?

Thanks,
Sam

Hi Sam, I think what you are looking to do is to change the framebuffer. There is quite a good howto on the Ubuntu forums.
