displayconfig-gtk not present in Xubuntu 8.10

it seems as though 'dpkg-reconfigure (-phigh/plow) xserver-xorg' works again and your resolution can be once again configured through that. Also, there is the option of using 'xfix' via the recovery option from your grub boot menu.

I tried "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and reached a keyboard reconfiguration sequence, didn't find an option to set display resolution. I may have misinterpreted the context of (-phigh/plow) as an option once into the reconfig script...which I never saw.
GRUB xfix was unable to do anything with the display.

Still at square 1.

This issue appears to be a common occurrence with 8.10. I'd like to avoid re-installing 8.04 or abandoning Linux.

The answer shouldn't be that difficult for an expert.

Anyone?

yes, it seems 8.10 is lacking an option to do this... The only way, might be to add the relevant display mode setting to /etc/X11/xorg.conf manually.

i.e. under the 'screen section' you can add a subsection, like the following:

Subsection "Display"
         Depth 24
         Modes "1280x1024" "1280x800" "1152x864" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "640x480" "320x240"
EndSubsection

OK. I have an identical C600 running Ubuntu 8.04. xorg.conf is fully populated on that machine. I can copy the content (manually) of the display and display driver material to xorg.conf on the one that's running Xubuntu 8.10.

 I have problems with what should be simple mechanics of Linux.

I can open xorg.conf under file manager, using text editor and I can enter the necessary material. How do I get text editor under file manager to save a change? I don't see a way to log into file manager/text editor as super user.

Alternatively, I can't figure out how to get to the same place using a terminal. If I try to change directory to /etc/x11/ I get back a message telling me "no such directory..."

I have Linux running on five different computers, using 8.04 and Mint, and I've been happy with the experience...but I've run into a brick wall with this matter.

Hello Don,

In a terminal, run the command "sudo thunar" (if my memory doesn't fail, thunar is the Xubuntu file manager)

And you will be able to open any file from it with super user rights.

You can also type "sudo text_editor_name /etc/X11/xorg.conf" (replacing text_editor_name by the correct name of your text editor) which is better in terms of security. You will then be able to modify it.

Hope that it helps you.

Have a nice day.

Nicolas: Thank you for your kind assistance.Thanks to your suggestion, I was able to accomplish the necessary edits.
Andrew: Thanks for your suggestions.

Here are my experiences:
1. A simple edit of xorg.conf to include the "Display" and "Mode" subsection resulted in no effect.
2. A complete and meticulous re-write of xorg.conf to conform exactly to my second Dell C600 (running Ubuntu 8.04) resulted in an error message on boot: "Unable to parse xorg.conf"

Interestingly enough, an option I was given to run in reduced graphics mode to recover, produced a display that looked an awful lot like 1024x768 resolution...but on a smaller display.

There are apparently dependencies in there that are unstated, unknown or unloved.

I reverted to the backup and gave up.

So much for Xubuntu 8.10.

I will now proceed to re-install 8.04 on the C600 instead of 8.10. I'll connect to the internet via ethernet and download Wicd to handle my wireless cards.

I started programming computers in machine language (hex) back around 1957, on a drum memory machine that used paper tape for the boot loader. There was no assembler for it. It was highly intolerant of mistakes. Later, I can remember the notoriously user-unfriendly DEC editor TEDIT.

The current state of the Linux world reminds me of DEC and TEDIT.

Don

Just to inform:

I've got an old Toshiba Satellite 1400, with Ubuntu 8.04, the problem corrected using displayconfig-gtk. Unfortunately, when I installed 8.10, the problem persisted and was not corrected with any of the advices of the kind friends.

Any other ideas?

Costas.

Nicolas: Just a heads up, users are recommended to run 'gksudo' or 'gksu' when running GUI commands as a super user from a command line.

Don: That is a shame... If you're using xfce, and you have the mode lines in xorg.conf that i posted earlier, you should be able to open up System Settings, and click on the 'Display' button, and set your screen resoultion there. Although X should have used the first avaliable mode in the order you specified... you could have the incorrect display driver in use and configured for your graphics card. If you have the same issues in 8.04, can you paste the output of: sudo lspci | grep -i vga this will tell me your graphics card and dev id. Also, could you pastebin the ouput of sudo glxinfo. (a pastebin is at http://www.pastebin.com)

Andrew,

I know that the graphics card is "ATI Technologies, Inc, Rage Mobility M3
AGP 2x", as that's what's in the xorg.conf of the other (#1) C600, which
worked right out of the box with Ubuntu 8.04 (about the time of the release
of 8.04). It has a more memory than the one (#2) that I'm trying to
configure, which is why I chose to install Xubuntu in that one. In
reconfiguring the xorg.conf file, I copied everything from the "other" (#1)
C600...precisely the same.

Ubuntu 8.04 configured the C600 with the greater memory (#1) with no help. I
suppose the difference could lie with the Xubuntu "Settings Manager" display
manager, since the Ubuntu version works.

Putting the lines you recommended into the xorg.conf file (in #2) resulted
in no change in the "display" control in the "settings manager." It still
showed 800x600 and 640x480 as the only choices. When I (originally
)installed 8.04 on that same computer, it came up with the same choices and
required running displayconfig-gtk to get it right.

It's too late to go back to 8.10 to report some of the parameters, as I've
already started the re-install of 8.04 in #2. I made the 8.10 install disk
off the Xubuntu web page last week...I believe it was Thursday. My
installation of 8.04 was inadvertant, as the live disk source on the Xubuntu
web page actually downloaded 8.04 instead of 8.10. It was because I had
difficulty with my wireless card and couldn't find a way to upgrade network
manager 0.6.6 to 0.7 that I wiped 8.04 and re-loaded 8.10. I was originally
able to configure the network using a wired connection to the router.

Xubuntu does not have a "System Settings" option. It uses something called
"Settings Manager" under "Settings."
Ubuntu 8.04 has a "Screen Resolution" setting under "Preferences" under
"System." It's not the same as Xubuntu.

Thanks for trying.

Don

Hi Costas,

I 'm out of fresh ideas. Reconfiguring xorg.conf did not solve the problem.

My solution is to re-install Xubuntu 8.04 and manage the problems with
wireless by installing and using Wicd as the network manager. It works with
a variety of wireless cards. It's not quite as slick and automatic as the
new Network Manager bundled in 8.10, but it does work.

Regards,
Don

To any who have followed this thread:

I have re-installed Xubuntu 8.04 in my Dell C600 and I now have it playing with a screen resolution of 1024x768. Everything works nicely.

My latest project is to find out why I can't get a Linksys WPC11 ver 4 wireless card, using Realtek Rtl8180 chip to work under Wicd 1.5.3. I have a Prism! chipset card that works right out of the box, but for some reason, wicd doesn't recognize the Realtek card.

One of the reasons I wanted to use 8.10 was that Network Manager 0.7 recognizes and uses the Realtek driver right out of the box. V 0.6.6 doesn't.

From the perspective of the original question, this matter is closed...but since I had to revert to 8.04...it isn't resolved.

Best,
Don

Thank you Don and all the others for the help. Unfortunately, going back to 8.04 is my last resort. I'll try to find a solution to the display problem maybe by openning a new thread.

Cheers,

Costas.

Costas,
Well...I have a vested interest in a solution too...so If you get one,
please include me in the post.
Yasu!

I'm trying to configure 8.10 myself after inadvertently upgrading my Toshiba laptop. I'm astounded that displayconfig-gtk was removed from Ubuntu with no replacement. Especially after it was lauded so highly at its introduction in 7.10. So it's introduced in 7.10, sticks around for one more deployment in 8.04, and now is poof... gone? What can possibly be the rationale for this?

The envyng-gtk package is the ticket in Ubuntu 8.04 if you're using ATI or Nvidia and want binary drivers. In 8.10 it's been integrated into Jockey, the proprietary hardware drivers installer. In 8.04 you can use the nvidia-settings and fglrx-control packages (for nvida and ATI respectively) to provide the binary utilities to properly configure your card (including 2nd monitor). In Intrepid the ATI configuration utility name changed, it's fglrx-amdcccle (Catalyst Control Center for the ATI graphics accelerators).

If you're using Intel chipsets you should be able to configure your display using standard Ubuntu utilities though, as they use free, open source drivers.

If you boot an older Live CD (7.10 or else) and you find the display is fine, you can copy its /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to a more recente Ubuntu install and that should also work.

Forgot to mention.. to understand why displayconfig-gtk is no more, see:
http://www2.bryceharrington.org:8080/drupal/display-config-2

From that post:
"Meanwhile, I've also disabled displayconfig-gtk in the menus. It is still available from the command line (we still need it for bulletproof-X mode). It's become largely obsolete due to Xorg 7.3 autoconfiguration changes, which has resulted in a lot of stuff that used to be set in xorg.conf to no longer be listed there. This confuses displayconfig-gtk greatly, and has been the source of a lot of bug reports and trouble. Further, while displayconfig-gtk has a nice multi-head layout capability, it depends on (the now heavily deprecated) Xinerama, yet these days there are very few drivers that still use Xinerama, so it's become obsolete on this count as well (indeed, you can produce broken xorg.conf's this way). So, the number of people who can still make use of it is becoming quite small, but is not yet negligible, so hopefully having this tool available on the system will still address these users' needs."

Hi to all and have a Happy New Year!

I've just found a solution, after searching a lot into Ubuntu forums, to get my ancient laptop (Toshiba) to work in 1024x768.

Here is my new xorg.conf file:

Section "Device"
 Identifier "Configured Video Device"
 Boardname "Trident CyberBlade (generic)"
 Busid "PCI:1:0:0"
 Driver "trident"
 Screen 0
 Vendorname "Trident"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
 Identifier "Configured Monitor"
 Vendorname "Generic LCD Display"
 Modelname "LCD Panel 1024x768"
 Horizsync 31.5-48.0
 Vertrefresh 56.0 - 65.0
 modeline "1024x768@60" 65.0 1024 1048 1184 1344 768 771 777 806 -vsync -hsync
 Gamma 1.0
EndSection

Section "Screen"
 Identifier "Default Screen"
 Monitor "Configured Monitor"
 Device "Configured Video Device"
 Defaultdepth 24
 SubSection "Display"
  Depth 24
  Virtual 1024 768
  Modes "1024x768@60"
 EndSubSection
EndSection

I know that this solution in limited to Toshiba laptops mainly using Trident GPUs, but at least it gives a generic guideline to use it with other hardware.

Cheers,

Costas

Hi Costas,

Good!

I was confused and not amused when I took the xorg.conf file from an *identical
*computer running 8.04 and copied it to the one running 8.10. In my case,
with my video cards on Dell C600 notebooks, that did not work.

The xorg.conf file on the one running 8.04 did not have elements in it
corresponding with some that you found successful.

I was able to effect a satisfactory solution by reverting to 8.04 since the
use of the computer is very limited (my 11-year-old granddaughter), so I
didn't pursue it further.

Happy New Year to you as well.

Don

Hi.
I have a dell C600 with the same problem of 1024x768.
I solved the problem on 8.04 with the displayconfig-gtk.
Now I am installed 8.10 and displayconfig-gtk does not work.
My problem was that the 8.04 was very slow to boot while the 8.10 is faster.
Now I try to install a dual boot: 8.04 + 8.10 to work around the problem and try to find out a solution.

(my idea is to copy the xorg of the 8.04 to the 8.10 but I read now that this is not a solution.

If somebody can help us...
Thanks.
Albino.

Hi, with the following xorg.conf my dell C600 works at 1024X768 with 8.10.
(I copy only the sections device, monitor and screen from the xorg.conf of the 8.04)
What I am not shure is about the colors (24bit?).
How can I chech it?

Thanks.
Albino.

Hi Albino,

I don't know a way to test color depth beyond the System Preferences
hardware test, which simply produces color bars.
The xorg.conf file you posted is somewhat more detailed than which I had
obtained from the second C600...and therein must be the answer to getting
the display right under 8.10.

Thanks for your note. It will be useful next time.

I have had a similar problem as the one stated here and would like to share how I got it solved. My problem was that the graphics card only could go as hi as 800x600 in resolution although the laptop LCD is 1024x768. I have a Dell C600 laptop with the ATI Rage 128 M3 x2 video chip.

After days of googling and trial and error I discovered that there seems to be a important relationship between the resolution the xorg engine can activate and the HorizSync and VertRefresh rates entered.

The issue got solved when I tried the following entry in my xorg.conf file. Mind you I entered nothing else just this:

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "Generic Monitor"
    Option "DPMS"
    HorizSync 31.5-55
    VertRefresh 40-70
EndSection

I hope it will solve your problem as well.

Hi.
Thanks.
I will also try with the xorg.conf with only the data in the section "monitor" you posted here.
I will let you know also my result.
Albino.

Mike,

That discovery may be the key to everything else.

Thanks!

I have the identical computer (C600) and video card you have.

Don

Hi just to inform you:
I tried with the only "monitor" section, but it doesn't work.
The resolution will remain 800X600.
Albino.

Has anyone got any further with this issue? I also have Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 with a Trident Cyberblade card which does not fill the screen. I really would like to sort it out after all what is the point of a new version if it does not work properly?
I have tried a number of these solutions offered but they do not work. Costas solution tells me Defaultdepth is not valid. Others seem to do nothing.

Regards,

Dave.

Hi Dave,

I never found a satisfactory answer. If you recall, I have two identical
Dell laptops, one running on Ubuntu 8.04...and I copied the xorg.conf file
from it precisely to the one running 8.10 with no effect. My solution was to
revert to 8.04 and forget about 8.10 for the present.

Recently, I acquired one of those neat little netbooks (an Acer Aspire
One),which came with Win XP. I found a way to install Linux off a USB flash
drive,(unetbootin.sourceforge.net) and it worked immediately. In this case,
it was (horrors!) openSUSE 11.1...

Regards,
Don

Hi Don,

Yes I have been looking through the list & had a good read through that thread, I was kind of hoping things would have moved on by now & that this may have been sorted. It seems crazy to me that no-one else is finding this a problem & that reverting to an earlier version should be an acceptable result.

Regards,

Dave.
