I have just upgraded my system to xubuntu 9.04 and among other
problems I can't see how to change the display resolution. Where do I set the display resolution in xfce4 version 4.6? -- Chris Green _______________________________________________ Xfce mailing list Xfce@... http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce http://www.xfce.org |

You should probably complain with the distribution guys - I run Slackware and XFCE 4.6.1, just installed on a clean disk, and 'Display' is available here. If you feel slightly adventurous, try to install it yourself: http://www.xfce.org/download/ John _______________________________________________ Xfce mailing list Xfce@... http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce http://www.xfce.org |

Uhm, don't jump to conclusions regarding Xfce just because your distribution _chooses_ not to include resolution settings in xorg.conf. Xfce is not written for one particular distribution, and setting the resolution in xorg.conf works just fine. ~David P.S. Of course the other comments are right though, there should be a Settings->Display. _______________________________________________ Xfce mailing list Xfce@... http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce http://www.xfce.org |

I know it *can* still be done but it's rather going against the intent of current versions of Xorg. It certainly shouldn't be necessary unless something has gone wrong. > P.S.

Yes, so where has it gone and how do I get it back? :-) In my xfce when I right click on the background (or look in the Applications menu on the panel) I do have Settings but there is no Display entry there. What provides it, i.e. what package in Ubuntu provides it, maybe something has gong awry in various upgrades and it's got lost in the wash. What program gets run when you click on menu->settings->display? -- Chris Green _______________________________________________ Xfce mailing list Xfce@... http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce http://www.xfce.org |

Is it an xfce4 program that provides this or is it a Gnome utility? Whatever it is if someone can tell me what the name of the utility is I can see if it's installed, if it's not installed I can install it and if it is installed I can run it from the command line.

I used to run Slackware for many years) -- Chris Green _______________________________________________ Xfce mailing list Xfce@... http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce http://www.xfce.org |

This is quickly turning into an ubuntu problem; but let's just say that you need to learn your distro tools. Someone already pointed out the name of the binary. Install apt-file, or use packages.ubuntu.com to find out what package provides it. ~David _______________________________________________ Xfce mailing list Xfce@... http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce http://www.xfce.org |

Actually, you should go to Applications->Settings->Settings Manager and *then* click Display.

Anyway, things have advanced, removing a 'broken' package from my installation and then doing a full update/upgrade has got my Settings->Display applet to appear. However it doesn't actually work, i.e. it won't change the display resolution. As you say though it's an Ubuntu problem rather than an xfce one so I'll go over there to ask. Thanks for the help so far. -- Chris Green _______________________________________________ Xfce mailing list Xfce@... http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce http://www.xfce.org |

I didn't actually do anything much, just kept doing update/upgrade until things seemed to settle properly. I do seem to have some issues with X starting up still, lots of odd warning and error pop-ups before I get to the login screen. I expect I will get rid of them eventually though. -- Chris Green _______________________________________________ Xfce mailing list Xfce@... http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce http://www.xfce.org |
