Resolution problem on Xubuntu with old laptop (Trident graphic card)

Submitted by k4tz on Wed, 07/15/2009 - 11:43

Question:

Hi,
I'm a n00b concearning Linux but I always wanted to give it a go. So last weekend I got an old laptop from a friend and installed Xubuntu (because Ubuntu froze during install).
Anyway, I don't seem to get my resolution settings to 1024x768. It only allows me to get it at 800x600 so I can't use the full screen.

Video card: Trident Cyberblade XP

Can someone help me out on this isue?

Thanks.

Fix speaker sound issues with HP dvX laptop

... the alsa developers have a solution for this issue:

When you boot you get no sound from your internal laptop speakers though you do get sound from the headphone jack.

The cause, according to some alsa developers, is an incorrect 'pin' assignment (in the BIOS, perhaps) whereby sound output meant for the internal speakers gets routed to the wrong place.
