• Linux and display issues

So I installed Ubuntu on a new box I got and long story short the display is not playing right. A picture will say more so: [IMG]http://i49.tinypic.com/jj0mz5.jpg[/IMG] The native resolution of the monitor is 1440*900 but Ubuntu doesn't recognize that as a possible resolution. I think once I have the box outputting the right resolution the monitor's auto-adjust will do the rest.
Tried installing video drivers?
Try it on an external monitor?
xrandr -s 1440x900
He could always install the video drivers, and then force the 1440x900 resolution within xorg.conf
What video card is it?

Also it seems my TV is not sending EDID info to my linux box.
OP post your xorg.conf
Can't, or rather Ubuntu 9.10 has moved on from it (/etc/X11/xorg.conf right?)
Unless it's a modified X server, then it's not likely.
It might just not exist; it's often not necessary anymore, since xorg can autodetect everything that it needs. But if the monitor doesn't provide EDID information, then xorg can't detect its resolution, so you may need to create an xorg.conf.

I would highly suggest you look through the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.example file for configuration tips on xorg.conf
