Resolution can not be increased

Have you tried

gnome-display-properties

not tried and how that is to be done ? could you please help.

my doubt was in ubuntu 7.10 or 7.04 even display properties could be configured whereas in this 8.04 display configuration is all togather missing that is when configuring through dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and we can go upto key board configuration that is the end of the configuration. Although through gui of screen resolution it can be set to 800*600, 640*480, 400*300 and 320*240 but not higher side

is it a bug ??

Go to Applications, Accessories and run "terminal"
Then type
sudo apt-get install gnome-display-properties
sudo gnome-display-properties

Try setting the resolution there and let me know what you see

The file that is being adjusted is

sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Be careful making changes there as it is easy to break the graphical interface.

The terminal output is pasted here
 sudo apt-get install gnome-display-properties
[sudo] password for dads:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package gnome-display-properties
what to do now ?

Thanks

Please try
Go to Applications, Accessories and run "terminal"

sudo apt-get displayconfig-gtk
sudo displayconfig-gtk
....
...
Hope this helps

Or try this (I reproduced your error for the install above but I could still run it. It may be installed by default)

sudo gnome-display-properties

Hi,
I've been having the same problems on 8.04. The display properties show a couple of resolutions. But I am interested in 1440 x 900 and there's no way I am able to work with sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg (quits after keyboard set up). ANy help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Naru

Naru, it is better to create your own posting than to post at the end of one that seems to have been abandoned.
Much better chance to get assistance to solve your issue.

Try to use displayconfig-gtk: Simple gtk tool to change xserver settings like graphics card driver or monitor.

-- Please open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type or better copy and paste:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install displayconfig-gtk

-- give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Then to configure your monitor resolution:

sudo displayconfig-gtk

then try to select and configure your monitor from the list or try to define your monitor by putting the inf file take from xp driver cd or floppy or from the net

Reboot your pc.

Then go to menu System->Preferences->Screen resolution to try to get high screen resolution setup

hope this helps

Mr. Marcobra '
IT did not work and out of sync message appeared on the screen we have to revert back to old 600*800 resolution only

while going through one of the answers, luckily it stuck and now my resolution is working fine. this how i did it..

go to applications>other>screen resolution
then select your graphics card
select your monitor and then select the resolution log out and log in thats all.
