My monitor shows dark horizontal lines on orange - You'd fix it with the 'horizontal' control if it was on your TV - that showed up when I tried to lower the screen resolution. I ended up having to reinstall; but how do I fix the problem - I really want a lower resolution, easier on the eyes.
NB More info: My monitor is Xerox XR3-17Gs, now at highest resolution, refresh rate shows as 0hz and can't change it when I go to to Systems, Preferences, Screen Resolution.Ubuntu Linux + fix for horizontal lines?
You can also try going to System %26gt; Administration %26gt; Hardware Drivers to make sure your video card has the proper proprietary drivers installed if it needs them.Ubuntu Linux + fix for horizontal lines?
In your system preferences there should be a button in the lower-right area that says ';administrator'; or something similar... been a while since I've been in an ubuntu installation looking at video properties...
You need to click that button first, enter your password when it asks, before it will allow you to make changes to the settings.
Also, you might have to go to the ';monitor'; tab and tell it what kind of monitor you have before it will allow you to select a different resolution. Most likely the problem you have is that the refresh rate is either too high or too low for the monitor to handle properly.
If it's an LCD monitor, choose 60Hz If it's a tube-type, select 70 or 72 Hz which should work for most tube monitors. (60Hz on a tube-type monitor will cause the display to look like it's flickering, but that won't happen on an LCD monitor at 60hz.)
