[ubuntu] Ubuntu now starts up with wrong display ratio

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi Recently on bootup i accidentally pressed the wrong key when the Grub menu came up and went into the "recovery mode" for my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS install. After navigating through the menus i selected the option to resume normal boot, which failed to activate some of the graphics drivers (it gave me a warning to tell me about that). Since then, every time i boot up, i get 1368x768 resolution at the login screen then ... 1024x768 in my user session. Thus every time i log in i have to go straight to the cog menu on the right > Displays > set the correct resolution again. Any help p (Hardware)

I have Ubuntu 9.10 installed on a Lenovo X500 laptop. Today I decided to install the proprietary ATI/AMD graphics driver that was shown as available in the "Hardware drivers" Administration menu. I clicked "Activate" and it installed and told me I needed to reboot.

Ubuntu 12.10 features a minor but interesting change in GRUB2 Boot Menu.

Menu entries now have 'Ubuntu' as the first option instead of 'Ubuntu with Linux (Kernel version)'.

After following the instructions here:

On reboot I get the following message in a low graphics popup:

"Your system is running in low graphics mode".

I have to reboot into the grub menu and choose 'recovery' option and then choose 'resume boot' to get to my desktop.

How do I fix this?

I am using a ASUS 1225C netbook, with intel gma3600. Because graphics support was not available, i followed the instructions given here.

Now when I get the grub screen, If i select the first option (the one that I always used to select), i just get a blank screen and nothing else.

Instead if I select the second option (recovery mode), and then select "normal" option in the menu that appears, I a

Hello, I recently upgraded to 12.04. Post upgrade, my display resolution is 1024x768. In the display settings menu, I do not get any other option for higher resolution.

I was always using higher resolution before. I use onboard graphics....Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics

Please suggest what I should be doing. Avinash
