I had another test on a different old Dell notebook where I had the same screen issues (no higher res by autodetect) with Xubuntu.
This time the fix/trick did not work, or it did not yield the desired result. I added the line to xorg.conf but after restarting X the screen went berserk. It looked like on CRTs when the resolution is not supported. Could it be that the frequencies where not supported by the display? how can I find out? -- [Xubuntu][Intrepid] wrong resolution with ATI Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x (rev 02) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/284309 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
