Incorrect screen size

Are you using an external monitor?0

No I'm not using an external monitor.0

Perhaps you need to change which video driver Xorg is using? Check the config file - /etc/X11/xorg.conf - if it is using 'vesa' try 'i810' (for Intel graphics). You might also need to put the proper values for HorizSync and VertRefresh in there.
Also, i've heard removing the splash screen sometimes helps...0 -
The monitors resolution is correct when running Ubuntu off the flash drive. Does that mean anything.0
-
Sorry I'm really quite the linux newbie. Do you have any guides on how to do this.0
-
I'll try to help, but I don't know all the right Ubuntu commands (hopefully someone can jump in and correct me).
Before editing the Xorg config file, I assume you've tried running any Preferences-type settings that can be launched from within the Desktop environment (Gnome, etc.) itself to change the res?
Assuming you have, and you've still had no luck, then you can try:
1) Manually editing the Xorg config file
2) Installing missing drivers
1) To edit the xorg config file, do this in a terminal:sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and look for a section like:Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "vesa" EndSection
To try the intel driver, change "vesa" to "i810" (or "intel", not sure which).
To add the HorizSync/VertRefresh info, find those values from some laptop documentation, then put them under the monitor section of the xorg file, e.g.:Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName "Dell E193FP" HorizSync 30.0 - 83.0 VertRefresh 56.0 - 76.0 Option "dpms" EndSection
Don't use the above values, those are for my monitor!
2) For 1) to work, you might have to install the Intel Graphics driver first, if it is missing. It'll be some "apt-get install ..." command (help anyone?). I think you can do "apt-cache search ..." for it, or something like that.
To test your changes you have to restart the X server. You can do that by simply rebooting, but sometimes the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace key combo does it, too.

have you tried running xrandr to see what modes are possible for the monitor before attempting to change the xorg.conf file?0

Well, that will help us find why it's not working but I'm afraid we'll need to modify the xorg.conf file in the end anyway.

All advice these people gave you is good, but since quick and easy is always good. In Ubuntu 11.04 there is an application called "Monitors" that lets you change your monitor resolution and such. Have you tried simply using that? I've fixed some of my own problems using this simple program.0
