Resolution problem in Kubuntu !

Dark Star · Mar 12, 2008

I have a 17" Flat CRT monitor which used to have 1280X 1024 resolution. I even set the same in my earlier install of Kubuntu 7.10, but the fresh install doesn't have option in Monitor Tools to change to 1280x1024 .. The max is 1152x864 .. What to do .. how to get max reso..?

Please help me also KBFX configurator is not working ? I installed it and installed theme but it is not changing themes of Main menu

I installed the latest KBFX 0.4.9.3.1 via Adept Manager ?

Regards

^ Edit xorg.conf manually and add the resolution.
Then you can change to it through Monitor tools.
Note that if you add it before all other entries in xorg.conf, its taken to be default resoultion by X.

yes,go to section "screen" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and modify as below:

Code:

Modes      "1280x1024"

Dark Star · Mar 12, 2008

But my Xorg conf file has 1280X1024 listed in it

Code:

# xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

^ Now that's really strange.

Dark Star · Mar 12, 2008

Guys suggest me a good Image viewer.. Just like Fspot or Gnome Image Viewer for KDE

which should show every layer of image.. Not like Gnview which show transparent background like checkered flag

ray|raven · Mar 12, 2008

^Thats how most viewer's display the transparent part of an image.

When I restart it is showing 1280x1024 but after setting it and loog in again the option disappear

What to do .. One more thing I updated my system it was installing the updates and in btw somewhat 52 % it say package broken and installation get aborted .. How can I complete the installation with files present in temp folder ?

ray|raven · Mar 12, 2008

^Is this by any chance in KDE 4? and whats the Xorg you're using?

praka123 · Mar 12, 2008

@darkstar:remove all other resolution in section "screen" except the needed resolution.

In archlinux kde,I am using kuickshow for image preview

Dark Star · Mar 12, 2008

ALso KBFX configurator is not changing my Kmenu ..

and what about incomplete updates ?

Kubuntu is a piece of ****.. Now I can use password via terminal but applications that needs password don't work.. I reinstalled it to fix this problem now am getting the same error again

The muse rools for a second and I fail to get admin privileged

When my hunt for a good distro will get over

I guess the last left is Arch

Install the xorg dev packages to solve the dependencies problem.
