intel on board vga driver (gma x4500)

[drik]

I have driver problem with my on board vga. ( ıntel gma 4500x graphics)
Motherboard: MSI g41m-p33 combo (ms-7592)
Linuxmint 19.1 os.
Maximum available resolution is 1024*768. Is there any solution?

You need to post some additional info. Open the Terminal, use these commands and post the output:
inxi -SMCGx and xrandr --prop

If this is a desktop PC, then what is the brand and model number of the monitor and how is it connected, including any adapter and switch.

Also post the Xorg.0.log file. Use this command to open it: xed /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Press Ctrl+A to select the entire file contents. Right click on the screen and select “Copy”. Open the Mint Forum reply window and select </> at the top. Press Ctrl+V to paste the copied lines into a code display window.

If there is a problem posting that long file, then it can be uploaded to terminal.com pastebin using this command:
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | nc termbin.com 9999

Post the URL link that displays in the Terminal window

Use these commands in the Terminal:

Code: Select all

xrandr --newmode "1920x1080R"  138.50  1920 1968 2000 2080  1080 1083 1088 1111 +hsync -vsync

xrandr --addmode VGA-1 1920x1080R

Then open the Display program and check for the 1920x1080 resolution. If that works, then add those two commands to the /home/your-user-name/.profile file, at the bottom, so the resolution will be automatically used after a restart.

[drik]

Two commands worked but when I tried to add them to end of the .profile file, I think I corrupted the file. When I restart the computer Os gives an error message about profile file.

[roblm]

Did you open the file using sudo?
Use this command and post the output: ls -l ~/.profile

[drik]

No.

[drik]

Code: Select all

~$ ls -l ~/.profile
-rw-r--r-- 1 dr dr 807 Oca 16 19:59 /home/dr/.profile

[drik]

I posted the output but after I corrupted the profile file I formatted and re-installed linuxmint. So this output is not relevant with corrupted profile file.
Should I open the profile file on the desktop or from terminal to copy two files. I'm not sure how to paste them into profile file.

[roblm]

...after I corrupted the profile file I formatted and re-installed linuxmint

That was pretty extreme action. The error message probably could have been resolved. Otherwise, didn’t you have any Timeshift system restore points?

Copy the two xrandr commands, open the File Manager (hidden files should be made visible) and then open the .profile file and paste the commands at the bottom.

[drik]

I did what you told. No problem occurred with profile file . Everything seems ok. Thank you for your help.
