Solve : Need help with "Screen Resolution" within Ubuntu 8.04!? |
|
Answer» Hi Guys! I have installed Ubuntu 8.04 within Windows via Wubi. The "DEFAULT Screen Resolution" it comes up with is 1440X900 & as soon I try to change the same to say 1024X768 or 800X600, my Screen starts "Flickering" at an enormous rate & eventually I need to SHUT my system forcefully to get rid of that 'awful state'! What could be the reason? & why am I not able to change the "Screen Resolution" ?Try uninstalling the program that you download and see what happens.What program, KingPincer? Saurabhdua, are you using the most recent version of Wubi? Why don't you use Ubuntu 8.10 instead of 8.04? We need more info on your computer SPECS too please.That program that he is saying.Wubi? Uninstalling Wubi would mean uninstalling Ubuntu. heh Quote from: KingPincer on April 26, 2009, 04:23:30 AM Try uninstalling the program that you download and see what happens. That is not exactly helpful! Hi Guys! Iam not sure of the Wubi Version, its just the one that is shipped within their "FREE CD"! AS far as 8.10 version is concerned, I have run post-to-pillar to get that installed within Windows, but in vain! Both Ubuntu & Kubuntu 8.10s neither run as "Live CD" nor as a separate program (Wubi) through my PC!!??? Specs. goes: Intel Pentium 4, 1GB RAM, 40GB Hard drive, not sure of the graphics card( please do TELL me on how to check the same), OS-Windows XP Home Edition(SP3) Tip: Have a look at Wubi's website. As for your video card, go to Start --> Run --> type DXDIAG and press Enter. Then hit the Display tab.Hello again! Here's what I got in Display : [attachment deleted by admin]That is some pretty low VRAM. Is this a desktop or laptop?Ah OK. Its a pretty OLD Desktop, 2002 make, branded Compaq PC! Never been fond of playing Games or 2nd Life kind of Gimmick! so probably never paid a heed to Graphics Card! What you say..?I am unfamiliar with Wubi, but it is possible your graphics card/chipset cannot support what you are trying to do. I still suggest trying an updated version of Wubi. |
