Hi All,
I’m new to linux and I require help with fixing some issues. The main one is my screen resolution.
The max res is 640x480 and I hae tried many different fixes and all hae failed. I’e copied what I tried to do late below.
james@ubuntu:~$ xrandr
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 640 x 480, maximum 640 x 480
default connected 640x480+0+0 0mm x 0mm

james@ubuntu:~$ cvt 1024 768

james@ubuntu:~$ sudo xrandr --addmode Screen 0 “1024x768_60.00”
xrandr: unrecognized option ‘1024x768_60.00’
Try ‘xrandr --help’ for more information.
P.S my laptop is a Amilo pro 2030 with the following spec and modules.
