Achieving 1366x768 (solved)

Post by Hinrik »

Hi. The first time I installed Ubuntu 9.10 (following these instructions) I was able to set the screen resolution to 1366x768 on my HDTV. I only played around with it for a little bit before getting a new hard drive. After I installed Ubuntu on the new drive I don't have the option of using 1366x768. I've tried adding 1366x768 modelines I found on the net (and ones generated by gtf(1)) to my xorg.conf without success.

In Ubuntu's display preferences I can only choose from the following: 640x480, 720x480, 720x576, 1024x768, 1280x720, 1280x768, 1280x1024, and 1920x1080.

How do I enable 1366x768?

Got it. The solution is to change this (in /etc/X11/xorg.conf):

Code: Select all

Option     "ALL/1/Port/2/General/Edid"           "1"
to this:

Code: Select all

Option     "ALL/1/Port/2/General/Edid"           "2"
