Save my eyes! Motherboard asrock h67de3

[sergii]

Installed lxde, motherboard asrock h67de3, monitor syncmaster t200. Now the screen resolution is 1280 * 1024, and there is no better solution (there is 1024 * 768 but it looks even worse). It is terrible for my eyes, as all the fonts look blurry and stretched out in length (microsoft windows on the same machine looks wonderfull).

How can I fix this?

(sory for my english, it is not my native language)

I think the correct resolution for syncmaster t200 is 1680 x 1050. Two tools for adjusting resolution are Lxrandr (Preferences/Monitor Settings) and Arandr, which can be installed using Synaptic.

Thanks for your answer.
I have installed Arandr. But the resolution 1680 x 1050 is not available both in Lxrandr and Arandr (maximum resolution is 1680 x 1050 ) - how can I select 1680 x 1050 ?

Have you tried changing the resolution using any monitor controls that may be available? Arandr/Lxrandr should show all available resolutions.

Yes, I have tried all monitor controls.
I think that Arandr/Lxrandr don't show all resolutions because the drivers for video card are not the best. How can I manually install such drivers for motherboard asrock h67de3 ?

Need to know video chip and Linux distro you are using to answer that question.

example

Code: Select all

Graphics:  Card: nVidia G71 [GeForce 7900 GS] X.Org: 1.7.6 driver: nvidia Resolution: 1920x1080@50.0hz 
           GLX Renderer: GeForce 7900 GS/PCI/SSE2 GLX Version: 2.1.2 NVIDIA 195.36.24

is my video card on this box. lspci -knn command should give a good readout. lshw command or inxi -G command which I used,(but you have to install those). lspci comes in all distros as far as I know.

for a external site to get info on your video chip and everything else pci releated

I've used the above site even in Puppy Linux OK and have also installed inxi in my Puppy installs also.
