i am also facing a lot of problems with my nVidia GeForce 2 on-board my asus motherboard, where i've recently installed ubntu 8.04. i only get 800x600. after a lot of trying, i found this resource: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=a09ddc7aad134bc3c5135ed43e4780f9&t=766846&page=2 it did solve my problem, but did not make the resolution persistent. so i had to do some more fiddling, mentioned in the comments is something about 'virtual' settings, which had to be the same. that fixed the log-in screen resolution, which i've again pushed back to 800x600 as it screwed everything again at a higher resolution. have also switched off my nvidia driver, disabled it, using system>administration>hardware drivers, as it was causing a lot of problems. using ubuntu menu > others > screen and graphics, i am now on 1024 x 768. i so want to get my nvidia graphics used properly, and try out beryl and compiz. :-( niyam niyam bhushan -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
