Low screen resolution on Asus Eee 1025C

Asked by Olav S. Flaa

I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my Asus Eee 1025c netbook PC. Everything works fine except that the screen resolution automatically is set to 800x600 and it is not possible to change it. The resolution should be 1024x600 (I think). I have also tried to connect a external display via the VGA output, but I get no signal. I have searched around on the internet and read that the problem can be that Ubuntu does not support the Intel Atom N2800 in my PC. Can anyone help? I'm not an experienced Linux user and not familiar with "terminal-commands".

I believe those need an xorg.conf to get those working ok.

I'm not quite sure what a xorg.conf is. Is it a display driver which should come with the Linux kernel ? In other words that it is nothing i can do about it?

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

Solved using:

http://daily.siebler.eu/2012/06/ubuntu-12-04-driver-for-intel-cedarview-atom-n2000-und-d2000-serie/

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

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

Som users say that the problem is solved with Quantal (12.10), but I prefer LTS editions.

12.04 (Precise) is LTS (Long Term Service).

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.
