EEE PC X101CH no 1080x600 resolution

Hi Michael

Your computer if having isues with graphic drivers. You can install your drivers by going to your System settings > Additional drivers and then install any drivers if computer suggest you. Then restart your pc and you could be able to set proper window resolution.

You can try set resolution by going to System settings > Monitors(screen) to change your screen resolution.

If my answer helps you solve your problem, please mark this thread as solved.
Regards,
Miha

Thanks !
I did that, but the search result was "no driver available".
Maybe I should run System settings as root but how ?
"Monitors(screen)" does not offer any choice other than 800x600.
Someone advised me to report a "Poulsbo/Moorestown/Cedarview" problem to Ubuntu.
Or try to install a drm/gma500 unaccelarated driver, but I do not know how to do that.
Best regards.

Can you give the output of:

sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; uname -a

Thanks

Many thanks for your interest !

You may need to form an xorg.conf file if the screen isn't playing nice.

Easier said than done.
Especially from scratch !
There is no xorg.conf at all now.
And I am no IT professional.
Ubuntu had always configured my screen so far!
Thanks anyway

If you drop to root recovery mode and run:

Xorg -configure

It will make you a skeleton file, you can then simply add the driver line and it should work. Basically the screen is cheap and not reporting EDID as it should so udev cannot load the intel driver as it does not have the values it needs

Thanks, Andrew.
But how can I boot into recovery mode ?
None appears in the boot menu.
(Only two options : windows or ubuntu)
I have had a look on Internet, but found no adapted solution.

Sorry ....

Michel

HHold shift at boot, select recovery mode, select root.

Hi Andrew!

Alas !
I created an xorg.conf the way you said, changed the driver for Card0 to "psb_gfx" and moved the file to /etc/X11 near an xorg.conf.failsafe that I did not touch.
(Should I delete the latter?)
But there was no change on my screen and still no possibility to modify the resolution in system settings.
Is it worth continuing ?

Best regards

This question was expired because it remained in the 'Open' state without activity for the last 15 days.

I tested Ubuntu 12.10 : it seems to use the right resolution.
So, patience till October.
Anyway, a great many thanks for your attention and time.
Best regards.

Michel

Could install Quantal, works here :)

Yes, it does !
Remarks :
I had to upgrade in text mode, or else I was blocked by a window that remained partly hidden in spite of my efforts.
Now, starting the normal way, I only get a black screen.
When starting in recovery mode then choosing resume in normal mode, screen is OK with 1024x600.
Again, many thanks.

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...

Hello!
Could you help me?

I followed the advise posted on http://daily.siebler.eu... but after cedarview drivers installation 12.04 boots only in console mode (or blank screen, if boot with video=LVDS-1:d)

System: EEE PC X101CH, updated and checked that i have not PAE kernel before installing cedarview drivers.

Don't use this:

# You can try to Add "video=LVDS-1:d" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT variable , if your don't see anything remove it... on one of my Systems it's working, on a second device it doesn't.

I've got also blank screen using it. For my system (Asus 1011CX) I didn't use it this parameter.

Josep Pujadas-Jubany

I've tried to boot without "video=LVDS-1:d".
The result is: ubuntu logotype is shown for a second and then i get command line. No graphics just terminal.

kernel version, please...

uname -a

Is the 12.04 up-to-date?

3.2.0-27-generic
Installed Ubuntu 12.04 and updated all and rebooted twice just before installing the drivers.

Should result depend on DE? What if i try to reinstall system into Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu...?

I'd use Quantal if it works. I use it here and it runs well.

On Asus 1011CX I used 3.20.0-26-generic

I don't have the machine now. I will try to get it and update the system to know if 27 revision is or not the problem.

I read that some people used Quantal. But Quantal is still beta release (12.10, october).

Haha!!)) Thank you, guys))
It is always nice to know that community is ready to help.

I've managed with it: the problem was with distribution i used for installation.
Original Ubuntu 12.04 has booted perfectly just right now and resolution is 1024x600!
Don't know why i didn't got it first time, may be first time it was my mistake, but now i reinstalled it and it's OK.
Actually i also tried to install Xubuntu 12.04 for two times and it fails to boot properly after cedarview drivers installation giving me only terminal. I am sure that with Xubuntu i done all update and drivers installation correctly, so it seem that there is something in Xubuntu.

I confirm what actionparsnip says : Quantal is working fine on my Asus X101CH

Ubuntu 12.04 + cedarview drivers is fine too (thou freezing a bit).
Interesting why Xubuntu 12.04 + cedarview drivers failed for me.

"Interesting why Xubuntu 12.04 + cedarview drivers failed for me."

Perhaps different version of kernel, xorg... I don't know but is not the same environment.

http://xubuntu.org/help/

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_X_Window_System_desktop_environments

After recent updates/upgrades, no more X display.
Startup obstinately ends on command line.
Entering "startx" results in :
"(EE) Segmentation fault at address 0x3c"
...
"Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting"

Same result with today's daily build in "Try Ubuntu" mode.

Tried the boot option:

nomodeset

I tried "nomodeset" again : nothing changed.

Just in case it helps, the last working build I have is:
Linux 3.5.0-14-generic (i686)
#15-Ubuntu SMP Thu Sep 6 22:57:58 UTC 2012

I upgraded a few minutes ago: no change.

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 1204x600. Unity 2D.

1024x600 I would to say.
