Just loaded squeeze onto a Lenovo T420i and the max resolution I get is
1024x768. According to System -> Preferences -> Monitors the only
resolutions available are 1024x768, 960x600, and 800x600. xrandr shows
the same thing. Using the on board intel Sandy Bridge graphics.
Tried a live Ubuntu CD and it showed 1600x900.
I looked at everything in /etc/Xorg but didn't see anything pertaining
to the problem. Searches turned up nothing useful. The Xorg.0.log talked
a *lot* about the nouveau driver (which it mis-spells), but there is also
this reference which snows me, as I'm not running a discrete card:
(--) PCI:*(0:1:0:0) 10de:0422:1462:0740 nVidia Corporation G86 [GeForce
8400 GS] rev 161, Mem @ 0xfd000000/16777216, 0xd0000000/268435456,
0xfa000000/33554432, I/O @ 0x0000e800/128, BIOS @ 0x????????/131072
Also this section which also confuses me (easily done):
(==) Using system config directory "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d"
(==) No Layout section. Using the first Screen section.
(==) No screen section available. Using defaults.
(**) |-->Screen "Default Screen Section" (0)
(**) | |-->Monitor "<default moni tor>"
(==) No monitor specified for screen "Default Screen Section".
Using a default monitor configuration.
Searches were a loser.
The contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log are at http://pastebin.ca/2123022 if
anyone is interested.
I would love to know how to attack this.
