The default resolution doesn't fit my screen. It works perfectly in the recovery mode but in the normal boot I can only get a big resolution. It sais The CRTC 381 is not to be found.

I would like to have a resolution of 1024x768 61Hz.

$ sudo lshw -c video

*-display UNCLAIMED
       product: 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller
       vendor: Intel Corporation
       physical id: 2
       bus info: pci@0000:00:02.0
       version: 03
       width: 64 bits
       clock: 33MHz
       capabilities: msi pm vga_controller bus_master cap_list
       configuration: latency=0
       resources: memory:fe400000-fe7fffff memory:e0000000-efffffff ioport:dc00(size=8)

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

What I tried

  • I had this problem also with Ubuntu 12.04. There the solution was to change the Xorg.conf file, but such file is missing.

  • Tried using xrandr but doesn't seem to work.

I hope sombody can help so I don't have to start in the recovery mode each time.

Greetings

To give appropriate advice facts are neccessary, results of commands are needed.
Saying "it doesn't work" makes sense to you but we can't see what you are seeing.
I'm sure you understand what I mean.
The output of xrandr is the usual starting point for us to get an understanding of your configuration. If the command gives an error, that too maybe vital information.

I found it on this forum...

markward@markward-desktop:~$ cvt 640 480 60

markward@markward-desktop:~$  xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x768
    xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
    warning: output LVDS not found; ignoring

markward@markward-desktop:~$  xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1024x768

markward@markward-desktop:~$  xrandr --addmode S-video 1024x768
    xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
    xrandr: cannot find output "S-video"
  • and also this is the error mesage i get starting up... it means non of the selected modi are compatible with the possible modi

  • I don't get this message if I start up in the recovery mode

    geen van de geselecteerde modi waren compatibel met de mogelijke modi: Proberen modi voor CRTC 379 
CRTC 379: uitproberen modus 640x480@73Hz met uitvoer op 1024x768@61Hz (ronde 0) 
CRTC 379: uitproberen modus 640x480@73Hz met uitvoer op 1024x768@61Hz (ronde 1)

This is the only resolution option available

    markward@markward-desktop:~$ xrandr 
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default 
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 640 x 480, maximum 640 x 480 
    default connected primary 640x480+0+0 0mm x 0mm 
   640x480        73.0*

  • I also found this 

     lspci|grep -i vga

  • and this

      cvt -v 1024 678 60
