Graphic card changed
|
|
| Dr. Franz-Josef Huecker 2007-08-29, 1:13 pm |
| Hi
After debian installation I've changed my graphic card, and now I
get by login always the monitor message:- Mode changed. Do you have
any suggestions what I can do to eliminate it.

I'd suggest you properly configure your xorg.conf file to reflect the new
video card, including changing the driver, if necessary.

Of course, I expect you'll find that rather difficult...

By xorg.conf etc. I see only the new graphic card who works fine, but
if I login I get always the msg Mode changed - and I do not know how
can I eliminate it.

Not that difficult. Run dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg as root.
Of course make a backup of the xorg.conf file first just in case.

Hi Dan
You are right. After it I doesn't get the message "Attention: New
Mode" at my login screen, but now the debian desktop screen doesn't
start and it seems, at the console, I have a wrong charset. However: I
don't know how can I fix it really.

Hi Franz,
Sorry, its been a while since I had to use that command. When it drops
you to the console type "startx" and hit enter (you may have to login
first) and that should bring up your desktop. IIRC next time you reboot
it will be back to normal. Hopefully this works.

Hi Brad
Thanks for suggestions. Maybe I should again explain that I start
Ubuntu with grub. With the login screen I get a message from my
monitor "Attention: New Mode".... And after login Ubuntu works
properly.
dpkg-reconfigure change the Intel driver i810 to vesa., and now I
don't get the message, but gnome doesn't start. OK, now I can start
gnome with startx and it does work properly. But after shutdown and a
new start of Ubuntu there is the same as before - that means: Gnome
doesn't only start with startx.
And it seems the only way to get now the Attention-Message is to
change the driver from i810 to vesa or there is a problem grub ->
ubuntu login screen ... ?

That is, you get a login prompt on a text screen, is it?
(Please log in as a user, not as root.)
What happens if you try start the gnome display manager (gdm) manually at
this point? (This is supposed to bring up the standard ubuntu login GUI.)

^^^^^^
Actually you don't start "gnome" but xwindows which in turn will bring up
several key applications of the gnome desktop environment. That is, a
window manager (probably metacity), a menu application (gnome-panel), a
file manager (nautilus), some services that do their job in the
background (gnome-volume-manager, gnome-vfs-daemon ...) and probably some
default applications like evolution.
It would be easier to track down your problem, if your descriptions would
be be more specific. I understand, that the layers and applications can
be confusing for the newbie. You may refer to wikipedia for a concise
description of all those components that create your desktop:
xwindwos: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xwindows
gdm: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Display_Manager
window manager: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compositing_window_manager
metacity: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metacity
gnome: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME
In some cases the German version of an article is better suited to the
uninitiated non-nerd ;-)

Hi Kai-Martin
Thanks for suggestion, thanks all. The solution was only two clicks at
my display configuration (TFT) AUTO + OK, and now I can say: all works
really wonderful! :-)
