Hello guys, Just got myself an Medion Akoya Mini (MSI Wind Clone), and also a 24" monitor from Dell. I really want to give Ubuntu a bash but I've stumbled across a hurdle, I can't seem to configure Ubuntu to output to the external monitor at 1920x1080 via VGA correctly (Right now I'm running 800x600 which is not alot of fun). I know from research (Google) I should be looking at the xorg.conf file so I've posted its contents below. Any pointers will be very much appreciated. I really want to give Ubuntu a proper chance so this isn't doing well. Code: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Monitor "Configured Monitor" Device "Configured Video Device" SubSection "Display" Virtual 1920 1080 EndSubSection EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" EndSection Thanks again. - Jay
Well hallo thar. This may well be very helpful for you squire: xorg.conf explained for hardy onwards The reason you can't appear to get this to work very well, is because Xorg is trying to be too clever, auto-detect your Intel graphics chipset, and getting it slightly wrong. Looks like you might be wise to try forcing a different driver, see if that helps. I'm not an Ubuntu user (I use Fedora) so sadly I can't give you detailed instructions. But, so long as you aren't a complete protozoa, you should be able to find relevant documentation for it.
