Solving resolution problem in remastered Ubuntu

Before playing with some bloody configuration edits, lets try something simple.

Try pressing CTRL ALT + or CTRL ALT – from your desktop (+ will increase resolution, while – decreases the resolution). It will help you to switch between the available screen resolutions for your display..

If this teknik dont worked, try some simple configuration file editing…

Inorder to reconfigure your X server-the graphical system of Ubuntu it is safe to play from standing outside of X server. Try the following steps in order

1. logout

2. press ctrl+alt+F1 (starts a virtual terminal instead of the graphical system, here you will get a screen having a look of terminal. It will prompt for your user name and password)

3. As you know, we are going to change the settings of display. So it is better to backup your current display settings which is stored in xorg.conf type in as follows 

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak 

 4. We are going to edit the xorg.conf file now by opening it in vi editor. Type i

 sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf (to edit the file)

5. go down to the Section “Monitor” hit i to insert text and write in (i key press will allow you to enter text): 

HorizSync 30-110 

VertRefresh 50-185 

look out the picture…

 

     6. Hit Esc and type wq (wq means read and quit)

7. press ctrl+alt+F7 (It will send you back to normal graphical system)

8. press ctrl+alt+backspace (to restart the X server, just to make sure)

Possibly your resolution problem may be solved by those configuration editing…
It works, since my friend tried it out and corrected his resolution problem…
