Asked by Narender Narwar

I have been using ubuntu 10.10 version earlier, everything was ok. But as i installed ubuntu 11.04 only 1/4 of my screen is avialable in other words my laptop screen is divided into 4 and only left upper corner in resolution 640 is available as screen. I am using Amilo l6820 laptop. Please suggest how to solve this problem? I think 11.04 doesnot support vga drivers for my laptop.

Thanks for your response. I have solved the problem myself. Here is the solution;

First,edit /etc/default/grub file in with this command Applications->Accessories->Terminal:

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

add this line into the end,and save the file:

GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1024x768x32

here change 1024×768x32 to what you want.

Finally,update grub to apply the change:

sudo update-grub

Done!
