I am a newbie to linux - I have been downloading/installing various verisons of Mint last few weeks. Tried KDE, Xfce, Mate and noticed on several, I had to load my Nivida drivers the first thing after installation and the nividia drivers (nividia-304 update) would pick up on my monitor - Acer 1600:900 - everything was great till I did my first reboot - then it would come up as Unknown Monitor with resolution of 1024:768. I went to 'Monitor' - it was showing Unknown monitor and 1024:768 and I could not change anything - I tried 'Detect Monitor' with no results - a real irratation to me - I have always felt a sweet-spot should either be grayed-out or something should happen - even if it is wrong.

Results 361 - 381 of 381 - LG W2243S Monitor. By LG Electronics. HP LE2002xi 20-inch LED monitor resolution of 1600 x 900, 661354-001 (resolution of 1600 x.

I have now settled and hope to stay with my present installation of Linux Mint-17 MATE 64-bit V2 but only if I can lock in the resolution of my monitor. The last time I tried to use linux was in the days of 'Lindows/Linspire' and I was sitll working then and could not keep up and had to revert back to Windows, now retired and sure need someones help. Also if we need to use terminal - not opposed but will need some hand holding I guess - forgotten everything I thought I knew - guess old age creeping up on me now. Lol Thanks in a advance.

Yeah, the old VBE interface was great back in the early days of plug-n-play monitors (back when those were a thing and your system BIOS and video BIOS were integrally connected), but support for it has gotten REAL sketchy over the years - after all, it requires a real-mode interface, and nobody's had a real one of those since DOS. Your best bet is to get the i2c interface working - I'm not sure about your software or hardware configuration, but there are modules available in the kernel for it (it's possible all you have to do is modprobe i2c-dev). So hat tip to Matthew Kern, author of read-edid.

Hi all, any help out there?? First some details; I have 64-bit Ubuntu 11.10 installed from a LiveCD and am having problems getting the resolution I know the hardware is capable of. GFX card: $ lspci grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GF110 [GeForce GTX 580] (rev a1) My monitor is an LG Flatron W2243S, which unfortunately doesn't seem to have a Linux driver. I know it supports up to 1920x1080, but via the 'Displays.' GUI I can only select 1024x768. Yet more information! Strangely I had to hack my way into Ubuntu via 'nomodeset' - I suspect this is to do with an nVidia driver problem, and since then I've installed the nVidia driver.

OK, so progress. Seems the NVIDIA driver doesn't get the EDID info. From /var/log/Xorg.0.log: [ 6.757] (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): The EDID read for display device CRT-0 is invalid: [ 6.757] (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): unrecognized EDID Header. Welcome to the forums. It looks that your display has a corrupt EDID. Since I was 'blessed' with a laptop with a similar problem, I've learned a few tricks that can help you.

I can't promise you that they will work, but I would gladly help you as much as I can. My first idea would be to try to use another input.

Turbo technology is used by industry-leading educational, entertainment, financial, government, health care, and information technology organizations. Free virtual studio software. Turbo.net uses technologies such as Scala, Akka, Lift, and AWS to build its website and server systems.

Sometimes there are more chances of retrieving the EDID data from a DVI, or HDMI input. Check this as a point of reference. If that don't work, we need to get the correct EDID data. There is a reasonable chance that other people had faced the same problem, and may be you can find in the web a downloadable fixed EDID file that we can 'hardcode' into xorg.conf The last resort would be to try to fix it ourselves. I would gladly help you with that if it comes to it.

Most of them work just fine, but a couple of them won't let me format them because they are 'write-protected.' There is no write protection switch on the device. I have exhaustively tried the following: Windows format: 'The disk is write protected' HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool: 'Device media is write-protected'. Hp usb disk format tool device media is write protected in pdf. How to format a write protected USB flash disk. The disk is write protected; Device media is write. And check if there is any format tool or repair tool. It should rather say 'device is gpt, convert to mbr', not 'device is write protected' because it is not. Also you can copy files, meaning that drive isn't write protected and i showed that in. Now, format your USB drive once again. The HP USB Format Tool Device media is write-protected problem should have been solved. If not, you may need to refer to the third cause & fix. The USB flash drive is write-protected in Registry. Registry Editor is the database for Windows and installed applications and drivers.
