Getting Ubuntu 10.04 Video/Audio to work with an Intel 82815 Chipset

The built in speakers on the compaq desktop pro, while they work with
WIN XP, don’t work with Ubuntu 10.04. However, if you plugin a set of
speakers or earphones into the sound output jack on the back (green)
works perfectly.

After installing the LIVECD onto the Compaq Desktop Pro, when I
rebooted, everything looked okay. I run the updates. Then rebooted AFTER
the updates, and then ran into trouble.

Nothing I tried worked! Then I found the secret! You need to create at
LEAST 2 admin accounts Before doing the updates. One that you will do
the updates after installing the LIVECD, and one that you will use AFTER
you do the updates.

Here’s what’s going on. After installing the LIVED CD the monitor
resolution is set to 800×600.

However, after installing the updates, the resolution switches to
1024×760. So that account you did the updates with: worthless!

If you logon after the updates with the second account, your good to go.
But you need the snippet from here

I created the following file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf RIGHT AFTER DOING THE
UPDATES!

DO NOT TRY TO CHANGE THE RESOLUTION TO ANYTHING BUT 1024×768. IT JUST
WON’T WORK!


#
# /etc/X11/xorg.conf
#
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Corporation 82815 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller]"
Driver "intel"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection
#
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
Option "DPMS"
HorizSync 31.5-48.5
VertRefresh 40-70
EndSection
#
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "Intel Corporation 82815 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller]"
Monitor "Generic Monitor"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection

If you hose the resolution you can try this.


xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x768
