Following up on a thread from November 1,<br>I installed Kubuntu 7.04 on a machine and<br>found that while the monitor type is correct<br>in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, other parameters are<br>not. This results in vertical colored lines about
<br>every inch across across the screen.<br><br>I then installed Kubuntu 7.10 as an upgrade.<br>I have no reason to think the devices were <br>investigated or changed during the upgrade,<br>and that I can tell nothing was changed. In
<br>particular, the monitor parameters are still<br>not correct, and I still get the vertical colored<br>lines.<br><br>I played around with the settings a bit, but<br>nothing useful resulted.<br><br>So the question is this. If I wanted to run
<br>the setup software manually that is using during<br>the installation, or, presumably, when a new<br>device is installed, what is it called?<br><br>Why do that? I'm not sure. I have read that<br>people have done this and it cured what was
<br>ailing their Kubuntu system.<br><br>The machine uses the Intel i810 chip set.<br>I gather there are problems between this and<br>Kubuntu. This machine and the monitor <br>worked fine with a version of Mandriva, so<br>
I have no reason to suspect any hardware <br>problems. That I can tell so far, the monitor<br>is the only hardware issue.<br><br>Anyone have any suggestions?<br><br> -Bob<br><br>
