screen resolution 11:10 hdmi

Asked by peteatrom

just bought a asus eeepc, installed ubuntu no problem, but i am only able to get 800 * 600 resolution, on the windows 7 it is much higher and the label on the machine states HDMI 1080cp movie playback. i searched the arcives and a similar problem accurred on the 8:10 version but it does not seem to be appropriate.
Any ideas?

You may need an xorg.conf file if your screen is not reporting EDID like good monitors do

Thanks. After looking at this option and the warnings, I'm not that confident in my abilities to try. Your right its not a good spec, but its cheap and I want it for traveling, so the chances of breakage, theft are high. Ubuntu is simply faster, more secure and more reliable than windows os.
Thanks for your time.

Some things just don't work if I cannot change the resolution. I really don't want to have to use windows. Is there a fix I can pay for? or is someone willing to navigate me through what looks like a risky proceedure?

Similar problem with Asus 1011CX (Intel Atom N2600) working with 12.04

Solved using:

This problem affects Cedar View and Cedar Trail chipsets (new Intel Atom chipsets with memory & graphics integrated controllers):

12.04 (Precise) is LTS (Long Term Service). I prefer to use a LTS editions...

Asus 1011CX (Intel Atom N2600) working with 12.04 up-to-date (29-setember-2012)

1. Go to [System Parameters] [Additional Drivers]
2. Activate cedarview-drm
3. Reboot. In my case I needed to reboot from Ctl+Alt+F1 (no-graphic terminal) because graphic server went out.
4. Go next time to [System Parameters] [Additional Drivers]
5. Activate cedarview-graphics-drivers
6. System resolution ok, at 1024x600. Unity 2D.
