Display problem on IBM R30

by .martin. . Updated 17 years, 4 months ago

Hi guys (and gals) again.

recently I got bored and decided to install Ubuntu on an old R30 (previously it had nothing, as I need to find a Windows 2000 CD without any SP’s).

but anyway, my problem is that I am unable to get a full display. that is, on the 1024×768 display, I can only get a resolution of 800×600, about 60% of the screen.

so before you tell me to search the internet, I have, only coming up with solutions that don’t work for me (editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf)

here are the specs

IBM R30 (model 2656)
Pentium 3 1Ghz
256MB DDR PC133 RAM
160GB hitachi HDD (IDE)
Trident CyberBlade internal graphics (8MB vram)
D-Link DWL-G650M wireless card
14.1″ screen ( 1024×768 )
CD-ROM / 3.5 floppy
Ubuntu 8.1

Thanks,

Martin
