I did find one solution that worked on another machine for me
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh then CTRL+ALT+BKSPACE to reload X which allowed me to select the driver and resolution, however I was only able to get 1024 x 768 whilst the same machine under Windows went much higher. On 14/05/07, I C McNab <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I've just installed 7.04 on a similar one-year-old Dimension 5150 with nVidia card driving a 17" Dell monitor that prefers a resolution of 1280 x 1024. But Fiesty will only offer max 1024 x 768. This is the same as it gives me with a 15" Hanns.G monitor via a Radeon 9000 card on an ancient Compaq AMD Athlon machine. Any suggestions for improvement would be most welcome! (Though, to be honest, at my age, 1024 x 768 is probably easier for my biological optical system to resolve!!!) -- Ian -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
