Installation issues / Re: [SOLVED!!!] Is it possible to set the resolution to 1366x768?

« on: January 13, 2008, 04:55:15 pm »

I'm a little confused about the Display settings.  I measured my screen and it's 50x24 1/4, so does that mean I set the display size to "1250 606.25".  That doesn't sound quite right.  Am I on the wrong path with this?


Thanks

This is going to sound really weird, but bear with me.  After the numerous attempts to get my video card functioning correctly, I decided to load Kunbutu 7.10 by itself and to my amazement, when the the live cd booted up, display looked amazing.  It displayed 1366x768, my native resolution.  I checked the display settings and saw that it was using the "nv" driver, which I thought was bogus in 7.04.  Is there any way to load MCE on top of an install of 7.10 like you could with 7.04?  Or if anyone has a fix for my microscopic font with the Quick install DVD.


Thanks

Still having the same problem with the microscopic font in KDE. I've played around with the DPI settings in the /usr/pluto/bin/Start_X_Wrapper.sh script to no avail.  I am also no able to get any backgrounds in MCE.  HELP PLEASE.

Made the suggested changes to my xorg.conf file, and now i get the 1366x768 resolution i've been wanting, but when I'm using KDE, the text to to small to read.  When I open a web page, I can't read any text.  When i set the resolution o 1280x720, a quarter of the KDE display is off the screen.  Any suggestions, oh yeah, launched the nvidia setting app, but the I can't read any of the settings.  I think we are getting close.  I have LG 50' plasma model 50PC1DR-UA with my Nvidia 7600 GT video card (DVI to HDMI) connected.

Thanks again...the fix worked.  My only issuse now is the default resolution.  I have my LMCE box connected DVI/HDMI to my tv which has a native resolution of 1366x768.  When I run through the AV Wizard, I don't have the option to select this resolution, so when I have MCE up and running, I have to scroll to the left/right to see the entire screen.  Any idea?


Thanks Again

Thanks...I'll give that a shot.  I loaded the beta 710 thinking that would solve my problem, but it's still the same.  I noticed that in 710 beta, there are three xorg.conf files, two with .pluto appended to them.  The file setup looks about the same with a couple of extra option and some missing info from the 704 file.  Any luck with the beta?

This is the exact problem i've been trying to fix for 2 weeks now (just found this forum).  My only question is, before or after i edit this file, will i need install any additional nvidia drivers?


Thanks
