The first time I tried this, the error was"cannot create file /tmp/.X0-lock"ĥ) Following some other forum advice I run command "X :1 -configure", and though it erred out with "number of created screens does not match number detected devices" it did create an "" file.Ħa) What I glean from looking at the file are that there are the following two "Devices"Ħb) There is a Monitor0 and 1, and a Screen0 and 1. I run the configure command again and it fails. But I don't have an nfģ) I follow steps to create an nf, executing "sudo Xorg -configure" it fails because xserver is already running for display 0Ĥ) I execute "sudo stop lightdm" and after stumbling around in the darkness like a newb, wondering why my commands just go down to the next line, and I have no prompt, realize I need to. I went to the software center and it was already installed.Ģ) another post said I had to edit my nf file to set my driver to "sis" and set my resolution. Still stuck on "Laptop" and "800圆00" though.ġ) a forum post had mentioned to make sure the appropriate driver "xserver-xorg-video-sis" is installed. (*My first attempt to solve this was scouring the web for "Unknown graphics driver" which landed me on a form recommending I run the following command: "sudo apt-get install mesa-utils")Ģb) Now "System Settings">"Details" reports that my "Driver" is "Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 0x300)". I have no choices, anything to change to.Ģa) in "System Settings">"Details" it "did*" say "Driver" "Unknown", "Experience" "Standard". I have installed 12.04 64bit.ġ) in "Display", it says my display is "Laptop" and my resolution is "800圆00 (4:3)". I have this Dell PowerEdge 850 server, which according to the specs on the service tag has an (SiS) XGI Volari Z7 integrated adapter and the Current Monitor (the one on my work bench) is a Dell E196FP whose optimal settings are 1280x1024 60Hz. This problem has been killing me on setting up this fresh install.
