I just changed over to this box and loaded 9.10. This box has an Asus P5PE-VMMobo and Intel Extreme Graphics onboard. Everytime I reboot it changes theresolution to 800x600 from 1024x768. I also get tiny squiggly lines when theyshould be straight. The only thing I can think of are the drivers. Any ideas??
Why use 9.10 ? You are correct that you need updated drivers but thereare no updates for 9.10 now - at least through Ubuntu directly. You'dget better results from 10.04LTS or 10.10 and updates will install therelevant Intel graphics driver.
I had a feeling. It was all I had at the time. I guess its time toupgrade.
9.10 still has updates till next April. Regular releases have 18 monthssupport. 10.04 was LTS which means it has 3 years support which is better,but you are not obligated to upgrade. Just so you know.
I did the upgrade and its working pretty good. The 800x600 problemhas been solved but the "Squiggly Lines" are still there. Im nowthinking maybe its the new TV/Monitor. Its one of the new HDTV thathas a VGA port. Ill check it with the old winblows machine to see ifits the monitor.
I had a similar problem with my monitor you may need to download a new monitordriver, just a guess. Seems like mine was a Sylvania F720 or something like thatand It was never in the default drivers of early Linux or Windows one.
