Screen resolution only option is 640x440
-
Hello everyone
I'm pretty new to Linux so please assume I'm not that well up with it, please be patient.
to business I've installed lxle on a Fujitsu Siemens esprimo mobile v5535 to replace the glacial Windows vista and pretty much all is well except the screen resolution.
the only resolution its letting me pick is 640x440 despite having a decent amount of settings when I tested it live from USB
I've attempted a reinstall to no avail.
if anyone has suggestions it would be appreciated. -
menu>preferences>driver manager
see it there is a graphics driver available
-
Thanks for the reply.
not showing any graphics drivers at all in driver manager. -
be sure to update your package list first...
did you run any updates yet?
-
Indeed I made sure I'd run updates and I ensured the latest versions on when I installed.
-
ok, whats the specific graphics chip/card
-
From what I can find its an
SIS mirage 3+ 256mb
Here's a link to the spec sheet if needed:

you'll probably have to install the deb packages directly

Sorry in my tardiness getting back.
I'll it a go. I'm not 100% sure what I'm doing. But I can always reinstall lxle if I truly bugger it up ha ha. -
All sorted, Thanks for the help. Its appreciated
