Hardy upgrade query · DIGIT-ARC

I'm currently using Gutsy.I received the cd of Hardy Heron today.Is it possible to upgrade using the disc itself? If no,how do I perform a clean install on the same partition where Gutsy is installed(i mean,do i need to format the partition)?

yes you need to format for a clean install.you cant upgrade using live cd.download the alternate iso and you can update from that.

format it but before than copy the data to other partition,

hardy is lot better than gutsy langur

Thank you friends,installed hardy successfully in the evening.But another problem has come up.My screen resolution has become 800x600,and I'm unable to change it to 1024x768(coz i see only 2 options-640x480 and 800x600).Please help.

edit xorg.conf

sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and add "1024x768" as shown below

Code:

Section "Screen"
    Identifier    "Default Screen"
    Device        "Intel G965"
    Monitor        "LG 700E"
    DefaultDepth    24
    SubSection "Display"
        Modes        "1280x1024" "1280x960" [B]"1024x768"[/B] "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

press ctrl+alt+backspace (it will simply kill the xserver)
relogin and then select the desired reso;ution

Not working for me. :cry:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and select your desired resolutions.

But I didn't get any option for resolution.All I got were options for keyboard layout.

post your configuration and xorg.conf file content here

Looks like you need to install the correct drivers for the hardware. Post your sys. config and also the contents of the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
