http://ubuntuforums.org – Hey. I'm trying to get a second monitor working on a Acer laptop running 10.04. It seems to work; the monitor is recognized and automatically configured (which is very nice, by the way!). However, the monitor's refresh rates seem to be configured incorrectly. I thought "no problem, I'll just tweak the xorg.conf"... only to find that there is no such file. - I've used this monitor (A 19'' Acer LCD) before on this laptop, using an older version of Ubuntu (8.10 and 9.04), so it should be compatible. Reading other threads here, I tried using a few v (Hardware)

Stories similar to [ubuntu] No xorg.conf found in /etc/X11 (Ubuntu 10.04)

Just installed Ubuntu 9.10, 32 bit, and my standard 17" LCD monitor is not recognized. Instead, I'm stuck with system defaults and a max resolution of 800x600 (640x480 after installing the nvidia drivers). Since the other 7 distros I'm booting are happily finding the monitor and I'm used to 1024x768, I'm not enjoying the experience.

I have a dual monitor set-up, one runs at 1280x1024 and the other has a native resolution of 1920x1080 but gets displayed at 640x480.

Note: My friend has the exact same monitor (bought from the same store on the same day) and it works fine.

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could help me fix the resolution for my Samsung SyncMaster 941BW second monitor (along with my laptop monitor).

I've had the resolution working fine with previous versions of ubuntu (at 1440x900) but since I've updated, the xorg.conf file no longer provides the right resolutions. I had the orginal xorg.conf file, but somehow got rid of it.

Monitor isn't being detected 1 year 20 weeks ago

Hey guys i'm having a problem with my monitor.. I just installed ubuntu 11.10 and the monitor appears to be unknown with a resolution of 800x600.. When I install the discrete graphics card driver ATI the system reboots and now the monitor won't even turn up because of wrong refresh rates =\ My question is.. Is there a way to force a resolution without the xrandr commands?

Good day!Please help me understand why monitor Acer V193 does not respond to the xorg.conf file which I put it in a directory /etc/X11 . Section "Monitor" Id... [by DrBim]

I used envy to install the nVidia restricted driver on my laptop (running Hardy) in an attempt to get dual monitors working. When I rebooted with the system docked after installing the driver, I got a black screen. When I rebooted again with the laptop un-docked, everything works fine.

[ubuntu] Fix external monitor 1 year 34 weeks ago

The monitor of my netbook broke down. I connected it with a external monitor successfully. But now everytime I start up, I have to manually select the external monitor and deselect the monitor of the netbook (3x fn & F4). I thought of changing xorg.conf, but since I missed some versions of Ubuntu, I find out xorg.conf is not there anymore.

Initially X does not use xorg.conf. So suppose I have a certain monitor installed with the system, then X will be set in accordance to that monitor.

If I change the monitor after a reboot, what problems will I face?...will X work properly? How does X handle this situation?

I have a msi A6000 laptop with a nvidia GeForce 8200m. I have installed the recommended proprietary driver for the graphics card.

The problem occurs when I try to use my Gateway FPD1810 monitor that I have connected to my laptop. I go into the X server, enable the monitor, click "Save to X configuration file", and get this message:
