Hi Guy's,

I did post this to the main forums, but been a bit light  on replies. So
thought I'd just pass it bye the list, hoping to get a bit of advice, if
possible, from the smart, good-looking and intelligent Ubuntu users here. 
:)

I have just purchased a new machine with an ASUS P5KPL-AM/PS motherboard
and installed Koala 9.10 amd64. The Alt ISO image installed fine, and
everything seems Ok except my graphics resolution, which has the only
single option of 800 x 600.

There is a longer version to my story, but to cut it short; I purchased
the machine off Ebay, advertised as having a Nvidia Geforce 7050 VGA
inside, which is, according to my research, Ubuntu happy. It didn't (have
the Nvidia GeForce), and surprisingly the seller has all but left for
Brazil. Talk about Caveat Emptor, and that which is said of deals too good
to be true. Guess I'll never learn.

Anyway, should I just bite the bullet on this and just purchase a
compatible graphics board, or is there another solution?

Any advice or suggestions on this would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
rob
