My bad, I’m in the habit not to read articles to the end.

In a terminal

sudo apt-get install v86d

then open /etc/default/grub and edit GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and GRUB_GFXMODE as follows

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_option=1360x768-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap"
...
GRUB_GFXMODE=1360x768

then

echo uvesafb mode_option=1360x768-24 mtrr=3 scroll=ywrap | sudo tee -a /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
echo FRAMEBUFFER=y | sudo tee /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash
sudo update-grub
sudo update-initramfs -u

Thus the Ubuntu logo at boot will be at the correct resolution and you will have your TTYs back.

This guide is almost a copy and paste of the link you find in source at the bottom. If you don’t have a VPCS11E7E use that link instead of this guide.

Colpa mia che non leggo mai fino in fondo un articolo, era tutto spiegato.

Aprite un terminale e digitate

sudo apt-get install v86d

dopodiché aprite il file /etc/default/grub e modificate le opzioni GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT e GRUB_GFXMODE come segue

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_option=1360x768-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap"
...
GRUB_GFXMODE=1360x768

nel terminale di prima (se l’avete chiuso apritene un altro) digitate

echo uvesafb mode_option=1360x768-24 mtrr=3 scroll=ywrap | sudo tee -a /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
echo FRAMEBUFFER=y | sudo tee /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash
sudo update-grub
sudo update-initramfs -u

In questo modo la scritta “UBUNTU” all’avvio sarà alla giusta risoluzione e riavrete le console virtuali (TTY).

Note

Questa guida è adattata al VPCS11E7E per ottenere nella maniera più veloce una configurazione funzionante. Se utilizzate un altro PC, siete pregati di installare anche questo pacchetto

sudo apt-get install hwinfo

e di controllare le risoluzioni supportate tramite

sudo hwinfo --framebuffer

infine, se necessario, aggiustate la risoluzione in base alle vostre esigenze 🙂

Screen resolution, VGA and HDMI on Sony Vaio VPCS11E7E with Ubuntu 10.04 (no bed of roses)

UPDATE (08-30-2010): To bring TTYs back and set boot resolution, click here.

Have you succeeded in installing Ubuntu 10.04 on your Vaio? Good, now let’s deal with screen resolution and shit like that (OMG, not my politeness day!). I know that installing NVIDIA proprietary driver and manually modifying xorg.conf works, but I don’t know if NVIDIA drivers are really required. If you wish to keep nouveau drivers read this post and use it your way.

Install NVIDIA drivers by System → Administration → Hardware drivers and when you’re asked to reboot don’t do it.

Open a terminal and type

gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and add lines 14 and 15 to that file, like this

Section "Screen"
Identifier      "Default Screen"
DefaultDepth    24
EndSection

Section "Module"
Load    "glx"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier      "Default Device"
Driver  "nvidia"
Option  "NoLogo"        "True"
Option  "ConnectedMonitor"      "DFP-0,DFP-1,CRT"
Option  "CustomEDID" "DFP-0: /proc/acpi/video/IGPU/LCD0/EDID"
EndSection

What do those lines do?

  1. line: configures 3 possible monitors (DFP-0, DFP-1 e CRT).
  2. line: tells your graphic chip your monitor specifications (DFP-0) from an EDID generated by ACPI.

Now you can reboot and enjoy your VGA and HDMI (the latter sadly without sound at the moment).

Side effects

You will lose you virtual consoles. Well, actually they are still there, but when you switch to one of them your screen will shut down. You could try, CTRL+ALT+F1 (CTRL+ALT+F7 brings your desktop back). This is really annoying, but my eyes tell me it’s better than a wrong resolution.

This is energy saving on Linux 😀

Nothing I’m aware of at the moment. This guide continues here.
