Display distorted after OS upgrade

Asked By avah.hannah 30 points N/A Posted on - 12/08/2013

Hi there,

I have Dell Latitude E6400, recently I upgraded from Ubuntu 13.04 to Ubuntu 13.10 then after the first boot, my resolution got weirdly distorted,  its stuck on one corner of the screen and the options are only showing one option 640 x 480, on Ubuntu 13.04 everything was okay, what could be causing this kind of problem? Restarting won't solve the problem, even fresh installation.

Display distorted after OS upgrade

Hi !

When you have made the update of OS you have lost some old files which were replaced or deleted from the new version of the OS. Some softwares were not compatible with the new update, and that caused your distorted display. Before making an update look if are any updates available for your hard drives and if are compatible. When you make the fresh installation update your video card driver uninstalling the driver that was installed by the OS.
