Ubuntu8.10 display resolution and refresh rate problems solved at the end

I am not very familiar with Ubuntu. It actually took less than half a month. For the first time, I learned how to install it after my friend introduced it. After installing the hardware driver, I started the special effect. But when I restarted and entered the PC, the depressing display resolution and refresh rate were too low. The problem was 800 * 600_60HZ, at that time, I was playing version 8.04, so I was not playing Ubuntu anymore. I tried again and again for the second time. After understanding Baidu and the Forum, I did not succeed. Ah ~ The third time, I finally succeeded, Beautiful ~ I tried and tried to solve Ubuntu

Ah ~ The third time, I finally succeeded, Beautiful ~ I tried and tried to solve the problem of Ubuntu8.10 display resolution and refresh rate. I Believe ~ Many netizens will also encounter the same situation when they are new to Ubuntu. Now I am writing the solution, which is helpful to those who need to solve the problem. Haha. (Tested and used properly)

A. First choose to install the driver in the system-system management-hardware driver, (my display is a LG-17CRT, resolution 1152 * 768_75HZ, the graphics card is NVIDIA 7300GT-even selected is version 173 ). Friends of the video card SIS cannot open it. It is recommended to install the driver by default. (After installing Ubuntu system update + Chinese package, right-click the desktop and choose "Change desktop background"> "visual effect"> "normal". The system automatically recommends the driver, download and install the SDK .) After the installation is enabled (change the desktop background-visual effect-normal), even if the special effect is enabled, the resolution and refresh rate of the display may be too low after the restart.

To help you solve resolution problems as soon as possible and enjoy the amazing effect of 3D, I will share my practical experience with you.

B. Enter the following command in the terminal to edit the file:

Sudo gedit/etc/X11/xorg. conf

C. Enter the super administrator password. (Skip this step if you have used the super Administrator Account to log on .)

After opening the file, you want to modify the Xorg. conf file.

D. (You can solve the problem of modifying the Xorg. conf file and restore the file without the installation drive.) the correct file information of Ubuntu 8.10 Original System in/etc/X11/xorg. conf is as follows:

# Xorg. conf (X. Org X Window System server configuration file)

#

# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using

# Values from the debconf database.

#

# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg. conf manual page.

# (Type "man xorg. conf" at the shell prompt .)

#

# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades * only *

# If it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg

# Package.

#

# Note that some configuration settings that cocould be done previusly

# In this file, now are automatically configured by the server and settings

# Here are ignored.

#

# If you have edited this file but wowould like it to be automatically updated

# Again, run the following command:

# Sudo dpkg-reconfigure-phigh xserver-xorg

Section "Device"

Identifier "Configured Video Device"

EndSection

Section "Monitor"

Identifier "Configured Monitor"

Section "Screen"

Identifier "Default Screen"

Monitor "Configured Monitor"

Device "Configured Video Device"

EndSection

(Note: after saving the file, it is restarted and has been modified)

E. After installing the driver, to solve the problem of low display resolution and refreshing rate, open the system-system management-Nvidia X Server settings (ATI never used ), turn on the X Server Display Configuration and check the Display on the right (that is, the Display settings). The Resolution is very low: Choose 640*320 or 800*600, and set the update rate: 60 HZ and click Save to X Configuration File below to open Show Preview...

Run # xorg. conf (X. org X Window System server configuration file) includes one that begins to copy and paste all the files to xorg. conf file (open the original xorg. conf file ). Find the Option "metamodes" "800x600_60 + 0 + 0" and change it to Option "metamodes" "1152x864_75 + 0 + 0" (based on your display resolution and update rate ).) save and exit and restart. Check if the operation is successful. If you cannot find these two items, change them

HorizSync 28.0-85.0

VertRefresh 43.0-76.0

Haha ~ You will find that the display resolution and refresh rate are back to normal, enable special effects, and re-enable the video card settings, system-system management-Nvidia X Server settings can be set to a resolution greater than 1920*1080 or 1920*1200. The update rate can also be set to AUTO or 60 to 85.
