Thread: intel 945GL Ubuntu 10.04 or 9.10. Dell / Sony/ Asus/ netbook

hello there fellow ubuntu / kubuntu / xubuntu / mint / debian users. today solved friend's issue intel 945gl intergrated graphics card. here share did.

xx laptops xx integrated gfx cardxx-becausse of teh refresh rate teh screen. if have crt change refresh rate under "monitor"

know since ubuntu 9.10 xorg.conf none existent , of complicated intel , ati drivers left out little hope. after tried running sudo xorg -configure command in terminal after killing xorg refuse create xorg.conf.new have seen on posts. decided teh manual way , write xorg.conf scratch , save on desktop move /etc/x11. here did. if last resort.

1) open gedit (mousepad on xubuntu , kate on kubuntu)

copy , paste following xorg.conf configuration "i added few resolution mods- wont hurt you, have teh resolution options"

code:

# xorg.conf.failsafe (x.org x window system server configuration file) # # file generated dexconf, debian x configuration tool, using # values debconf database. # # edit file caution, , see xorg.conf manual page. # (type "man xorg.conf" @ shell prompt.) # # file automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only* # if has not been modified since last upgrade of xserver-xorg # package. # # if have edited file automatically updated # again, run following command: #   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg   section "device"         identifier      "configured video device"         driver          "intel"         option          "usefbdev"              "true" endsection   section "monitor"         identifier      "configured monitor"         option          "dpms"         horizsync       30-71         vertrefresh     50-160 modeline "1400x1050_60.00"  121.75  1400 1488 1632 1864  1050 1053 1057 1089 -hsync +vsync modeline "1280x1024_60.00"  109.00  1280 1368 1496 1712  1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync modeline "1152x864_60.00"   81.75  1152 1216 1336 1520  864 867 871 897 -hsync +vsync  - , change refresh rate vertical , horizontal - specific monitor  if on  laptop work endsection   section "screen"         identifier "default screen"         device "configured video device"         monitor "configured monitor"         defaultdepth 24         subsection "display"         depth 24         modes "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768"         endsubsection endsection

2) save file xorg.conf on desktop
3) open terminal , navigate file on desktop , move /etc/x11/xorg.conf command:

code:

sudo mv /home/(user name)/desktop/xorg.conf /etc/x11/xorg.conf

++note insert (user name) login name ie login name++ example user name / login name raj like:
example - not use it- change user name own

code:

sudo mv /home/raj/desktop/xorg.conf /etc/x11/xorg.conf

4) after move it, via terminal, run terminal again , type command reconfigure xorg.conf / xserver:

code:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

5) after restart, , should have compiz working , along better frames per second in games.

can thank me later.

note: applies intel 945gl , if have dell 6000 series in luck/ if not try anyway might work

note: did not make backups xorg.conf did not need any. created xorg.conf myself , saved moved it.

note: not computers crt monitors. if have crt monitor remove additional mods:
