Re: Screen Resolution in Kubuntu

Martin Durkin wrote:

Just taken the plunge and installed Kubuntu on my desktop. It has a
Matrox G400 graphics card which the documentation says is supported. The
screen resolution doesn't seem to want to go above 800*600. I have tried
changing it using the GUI, where it shows it has detected the right
hardware, but won't let the slider go above 800*600.

I had a look in xorg.conf which doesn't list higher res but it says not
to edit manually.

Have searched FAQs but not found the answer. Any ideas?

Have a look at the threadMy Ubuntu problems: how things are
From: Ian <ian.groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (http://groups.google.com).
This also seems to involve graphics cards and one of the variations of
Ubuntu. There might be something within that thread that may shine light
on your problem.
