Hi, i got Kubuntu installed on my old celeron system with 1.2ghz celeron s, 384mb ram and Intel 810Mobo, i have Kubuntu 6.06 dapper drake installed, and i cant change the resolution above 1024 x 768, is the because the graphics drivers are not installed?
Are you sure that your gfx and monitor can do more then 1024x768? Usually Kubuntu will set the resolution to the highest available. Type: Code: glxinfo And post the output here

Right, well you don't have 3D acceleration for some reason. Which Intel graphics chipset do you have? Also, in Konqueror's address bar, type: Code: /etc/X11/xorg.conf Copy and paste the text here
ok, here is the results: Code: # /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file) # # This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using # values from the debconf database. # # Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page. # (Type "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.) # # This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only* # if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg # package. # # If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated # again, run the following command: # sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg Section "Files" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/misc" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/cyrillic" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi" # path to defoma fonts FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType" EndSection Section "Module" Load "i2c" Load "bitmap" Load "ddc" Load "dri" Load "extmod" Load "freetype" Load "glx" Load "int10" Load "type1" Load "vbe" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "kbd" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "gb" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "stylus" Option "Device" "/dev/wacom" # Change to # /dev/input/event # for USB Option "Type" "stylus" Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "eraser" Option "Device" "/dev/wacom" # Change to # /dev/input/event # for USB Option "Type" "eraser" Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "cursor" Option "Device" "/dev/wacom" # Change to # /dev/input/event # for USB Option "Type" "cursor" Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Corporation 82810E DC-133 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller]" Driver "i810" BusID "PCI:0:1:0" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "DELL M570" Option "DPMS" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Device "Intel Corporation 82810E DC-133 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller]" Monitor "DELL M570" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 1 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 4 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 15 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen "Default Screen" InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" InputDevice "Configured Mouse" InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents" EndSection Section "DRI" Mode 0666 EndSection Oh, on your making the msot of Kubuntu guide, on the bit about adding repos or something in first post, i did that, and got all this: I have put it because its saying X error, and X is something to do with effects or graphics right? so maybe this could be a problem too.

The two problems you present are unrelated. The reason you are getting the bottom error is because you are trying to launch a graphical program from the terminal as root. You can't launch graphic programs from the terminal as root. Can you post the output of this command: Code: ls /etc/X11/
Ok It just comes up with no such file or directory, or command not found, i dunno if i typed it wrong, is it ls /etc/X11/ ? if so, it dont work. also, is there a damnd virtual keyboard in Kubuntu, i cant find one, but i would like one, coz at moment my dad is using the keyboard on the pentium 4 rig, and untill i get my G15, i only have 2 keyboards for 3 computers
Try again. Highlight the code, then in the terminal you can paste by clicking both mouse keys at the same time.
Silly me, forgot about copying and pasting /etc/X11/: app-defaults default-display-manager X xorg.conf Xsession.d config fonts xinit Xresources Xsession.options cursors rgb.txt xkb Xsession Xwrapper.config
I was hoping you would have a backup xorg.conf, but you do not. I can't see a reason why you would not have direct rending. Your xorg.conf looks fine. Anyway, if you want to change your resolution, do the following: Code: kdesu kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf Scroll down till you see: Code: SubSection "Display" Depth 1 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 4 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 15 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480" EndSubSection And add the resolution you want next to "1024x768". Here's an example: Code: SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480" EndSubSection
Ok, cheers, also, i will want the graphics drivers to work, so i can at least play some games. root@will-desktop:/home/will# kdesu kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified kdesu: cannot connect to X server :0.0 root@will-desktop:/home/will# ***edit*** Ah it worked when i did it when i was not root, but all those errors...., that i put in earlier, a little worrying Got 1280x1024 res working now though :good: cheers dude, working. but still, when i ran that command to launch the Xorg.conf file came up with loads of errors, like i said, i put them in a code box in an earlier post.
I get those errors too. It's normal. I don't know why 3D acceleration isn't working for you. I've looked at your xorg.conf file and everything looks fine. I am using the same 'i810' graphics driver as you for my Intel graphics and 3D accelaration worked out of the box. Maybe someone else will have an answer for you. If not, post on the Ubuntu Forums
Yea, i will give it a try, i tried the command Code: glxinfo | grep rendering and it comes up with: Code: direct rendering: No ~~Edit** Also, i looked on adept for i810, and it came up with the display drivers, says there installed, so something is stopping direct rendering from been enabled :\
