At first I was confused how to change the resolution, first I tried to install VGA driver for Ubuntu 8.10 itself Backtrack 4 based on Ubuntu but it failed, the resolution does not change, after a few days I got advice from friends to replace the xorg.conf file has to have a 4 Backtrack Ubuntu 8.10 and Open Suse, Ubuntu was the result of the same, not work but successfully by using Open Suse xorg.conf, finally issue a resolution on Backtrack 4 solved already, but in this post I do not use the Open Suse xorg.conf xorg.conf but got Mandriva 2009 …

Get to the way it changed xorg.conf:

1). Copy the contents of xorg.conf file Mandriva 2009 to Kate or KWrite in Backtrack 4, save with the name of xorg.conf

2). Once completed open the console and then go to the directory Mandriva xorg.conf that we have to save, next type the following command:
# cp xorg.conf /etc/X11/

3). Next open the file
# nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Text appears as follows:

In the Section “Module” and Section “Device” above:
Load “type1″ and Driver “sisimedia”

Fence marked (#) at the front, as follows:

When finished restart your computer and the resolution has changed …
Good Try …

The first step is to have a laptop or PC … hehehe

Next …
1. When the menu appears Backtrack install option, press tab to add commands to be entered into its GUI (only for chipset sis), type “maxcpus = 0” (without the quotes) after writing splash … (Enter)

2. After that will come login …
type with login: root
password: toor

Then to enter the GUI type startx command
3. Once inside, open the console and follow the following commands …
root@bt:~# mkdir /mnt/bt
root@bt:~# mount /dev/sdaX/ /mnt/bt/
root@bt:~# mkdir /mnt/bt/boot
root@bt:~# cp-preserve-R /(bin, dev, home, pentest, root, usr, boot, etc, lib, opt, sbin, var) /mnt/bt/
root@bt:~# mkdir /mnt/bt/ (mnt, tmp, proc, sys)
root@bt:~# chmod 777 /mnt/bt/tmp/
root@bt:~# mount-t proc proc /mnt/bt/ /proc
root@bt:~# mount-o bind /dev/ /mnt/bt/dev/
Note: Sign partition
x is the device that had been prepared to install backtrack …

After that GRUB configuration …
There are 2 ways to configure GRUB …
With Lilo and install it using the Ubuntu menu.lst …

# By Lilo …
root@bt:~# chroot /mnt/bt/ /bin/bash
root@bt:~# nano /etc/lilo.conf

lba32
boot = /dev/sda
root = /dev/sdaX
# Bitmap = /boot/sarge.bmp
# Bmp-colors = 1,, 0.2,, 0
# Bmp-table = 120p, 173p, 1,15,17
# Bmp-timer = 254p, 432p, 1,0,0
# Install = bmp
# Delay = 20
prompt
timeout = 50
# Map = /boot/map
vga = 0 × 317
image = /boot/vmlinuz maxcpus = 0
label = “BT4″
read-only
initrd = /boot/splash.initrd
append = quiet

When finished, press “ctrl + x” then “y” and then “enter”. Your configuration has been stored properly. time to install lilo with the command:
root@bt:~# lilo-v

Bootloader has been installed and ready to use backtrack. After the restart with the command:
root@bt:~# exit
root@bt:~# reboot

Using the boot loader is now included in Ubuntu, the following steps after installation:
root@bt:~# reboot

Sign in to your Ubuntu and open the GRUB configuration with the command:

andriest@Fossil:~$ sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

Then came a new window that contains the configuration, add the following sample configuration like this:

title Backtrack 4-BETA

rootnoverify (hd0, x)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz/ vga = 791 root =/dev/sdaX ro autoexec = xconf; kdm maxcpus = 0
initrd /boot/splash.initrd
boot

Same as above, (hd0, x) is the id of your partitions, please be changed in accordance with yours. examples “(hd0, 2)”, then “/ dev / sdaX” in accordance with the partition that you have installed backtrack.

If you have the save and restart your computer … Good Trying
