Not sure how new you're thinking, but I use an Ultra-widescreen monitor with

I am wondering if anyone has tried those new very wide screen monitors with
Linux.
I am thinking about one of those monitors if they work with Linux. With all the
new drivers and technology being put into the kernel and I thought I would ask
if anyone got one running under Linux.

Curved screens are about 2x the cost of non-curved screens. I think they’re way
over-rated, mainly because they’re only curved along one axis.
If I were to buy something “curved”, I’d get a spherical curve, which nobody
makes (yet).
A 55” TV as a monitor is equivalent to 4 x 27” HD monitors in
bably look just fine.

I turned my computer off and went to watch tv. I turned my computer on
about 2 hours later and the resolution had changed (I think). This has

So I open the control panel and go to 'monitors' and it is set to 640x480.

i got a monitor. It is not wide screen. Linux would automagically set the
proper resolution. I have windows7 on another drive in this computer. I

and I was wondering what sda2 would look like. So I boot into it and all
X11vnc on the kids machine and then use the options of the vnc client so that
