HP2133 video problem: part of screen unseen
Hello,
This question concerns the HP2133 Mini-note PC and the correct driver/config for the
Chrome9 video board.
I bought this netbook with SLED linux, which I did not like, and so installed Ubuntu 8.04.
It used to go automatically in low resolution (640x480) but I followed instructions in the
HP 2133 Mini-Note Wiki @ https:/
installed the VIA driver and the xorg.conf file. Now he apparently sees a resolution
1280x768. I say apparently, because I lose ~ 25% of the screen to the right and ~ 25%
to the bottom, i.e. I only see part of what is displayed (and it does not scroll either).
I got crazy trying for days and days: changing resolution, modifying xorg.conf, reading
on the internet... I have not found the solution.
NOTE 1: with the original SLED it used to work (but the resolution was 1024x600). However,
when installing Ubuntu I lost the xorg.conf file.
NOTE2: with an external monitor I see the full display.
If anyone can help I will be grateful!
