Almost completey setup in Linux, few last things

mp3guy · 19-06-2005 10:11pm #1

I'm running ubuntu version 5.04, working fine. A couple of things before I'm completely setup, first i'm using the via 8237 audio chipset, sound works fine, but in windows I can set the line in port to a second line out. I can't install the chipset drivers supplied on their site, theres no debian based ones. Is there a way i can manually do this in linux?

Also, I can't get the resolution I want in X, i tried changing xorg.conf and reconfiguring it as well.

Thanks.

yeah, that changes res, but not screen size, so its at 1152x864 but really at 640x480 and i've to scroll around.

Is there an rpm file? You can "alien" this into a .deb file, then use dpkg.

As for your xorg.conf problems: I think that needing to edit xorg.conf manually is the biggest pile of s**te EVER and surely keeps people away from linux. Sorry, but I can't be of any assistance there I'm afraid (beyond saying that there are two sections of relevance when it comes to your resolution: things the monitor can support, and things the graphics card can support).

Try this for easy xorg.conf fixing.

Its a Redhat tool and thus in .rpm format, but I'm sure it wouldn't be so hard to change it to .deb

try : sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver

What's your graphics card there mp3guy?

Can you post your xorg.conf?

grep /var/log/Xorg.0.log for lines beginning with (WW) or (EE)

here they are;

No EE's, but a good few of those
