** Description changed: Binary package hint: xorg Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop synaptic 0.62.5 I have an old Compaq Evo 32bit Intel system with a Matrox G450 AGP video board (G45FMDHA32DB 971-0302). It is a dualhead video board with the main output spec'd to 2048x1536 and the secondary output spec'd to 1600x1200. The issue is that if I perform a GNOME login, the upper and lower bars of the display are completely offscreen (only the background and mouse are visible), with the result that I can't get to any GUI menu to do anything. If I perform a failsafe GNOME login, the upper and lower bars are visible, but the display resolution is limited to 800x600 and can't be enlarged.
