Ubuntu Shows Only 800×600 Resolution in Asus Eee Pc

I have Asus Eee PC and I wanted to install Ubuntu 12.04, when I used the bootable USB and tried it, the only available option for resolution setting was 800×600 which looks bad on the screen.

For upgrade resolution to 1024×600, I’ve managed to get accelerated X working in Ubuntu 12.04 with these steps:

Add repository
# sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sarvatt/cedarview
# sudo apt-get install add-apt-key
# sudo add-apt-key 0x4c96de60854c4636
# sudo apt-get update

Add =LVDS-1:d to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT variable
# sudo vi /etc/default/grub

If you’re using PAE kernel, remove it and install generic kernel
# sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic
# sudo apt-get remove linux-headers-generic-pae linux-image-generic-pae
# sudo apt-get install cedarview-drm libva-cedarview-vaapi-driver cedarview-
   graphics-drivers

Change Option “AIGLX” to “Off” because 3D isn’t working
# sudo vi /usr/share/intel-cdv/X11/xorg.conf.d/61-cdv-pvr.conf
# sudo update-grub2

After doing above steps restart your pc.

First get a recent postfix rpm from here http://ftp.wl0.org/official/2.9/RPMS-rhel5-x86_64/. This one is built for rhel5/centos5 however should be working without much hassle on rhel6/centos5. Install the package: # rpm -Uvh postfix-2.9.1-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm Make sure its built with tcp tables support: # postconf -m btree cidr environ fail hash internal ldap memcache nis proxy regexp static tcp texthash unix Install the perl module  List::util::WeightedRoundRobin: cpan install /List::util::WeightedRoundRobin/ Create the following perl script and make it executable: vi /etc/postfix/postfix.pl #!/usr/bin/perl -w # author: ...
