Hi Greg,
This problem has been discussed quite a bit lately. You need to get a couple
of dns#'s from your isp. Then add them to your /etc/resolv.conf
As root, add:
search <your isp>
nameserver <dns#>
nameserver <dns#>

Is this a compatibility problem with my video card and Linux? And is there a
way of preserving the resolution, as I always have to press ctrl, shift + or -
to get the res rate I like
=====================================================
Try adjusting your color depth, not just your resolution.
Use XF86Setup. Save surrent configuration, but adjust mode.
Choose a higher color depth such as 16 bpp, or even 24 or 32 bpp.
What ever resolution is listed first in xf86config will be considered the
default, I believe.
