So I'm sending it on MS Windows machine at 4:45 pm after waiting hours on the other machine. Will call Quest to ask about my so-called 'broadband' connection; but folloqing to get started with trouble shooting. Last weekend I updated to Ubuntu7.10 along with new versions of Firefox and Opera (I like Opera when it works but that's not the immediate problem). Formerly (before updates) Firefox worked OK but Opera took so long to download anything it was basically unusable (that's why was using Firefox). Also I operated my 19 inch Gateway monitor at 107? x 78? resolution (sorry I can't remember exact number). Immediately after updates the Firefox became so slow (or time to connect to provider) it is unusable; however now Opera works great for both browsing and email (however my provider doesn't support/provide for Opera browser so I can't view email in browser at provider web site; other web sites work OK) [I have to use 'Windows' box to view email on web page--that's a spam control tactic]. Now the problem:: Yesterday when I booted this Linux machine, a window came upwhich stated "Ununtu is running in low-graphics mode. Your screen and graphics card could not be detected correctly. To use higher resolution, visual effects or multiple screens, you have to configure the display yourself" A little radio button with statement "Always run in low-graphics mode" Three large radio buttons 1. "Configure" 2. "Shut down" 3. "Continue" Button 1 wants to know what graphics card Button 2 restarts the machine (does not shut down) Button 3 starts the machine in 800 x 600 resolution (which I don't like - web pages overflow the screen and no position sliders appear. The machine has worked at 107? x 780 resolution for approximatly the last two years without any intervention on my part. How do I get higher resolution back?? How do I test my video card (if there is one)? Where is a store/repair shop that knows Linux machines? Incidently upon going to Gateway web site (monitor is Gateway EV910) they were bought by Acer last week and the first web page comes up however the download site doesn't respond today.

Steven, What video card do you have in your PC? If it is Intel, then you need to select the "i810" driver not the "intel" driver, as the latter is newer and has more features and bugs. If you cannot do that from the menus, press "Ctrl-Alt-F1" to go to text mode, login as root (or login and sudo to root) and edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the line which says Driver "intel" to Driver "i810" Also change the "Screen" section to have only one mode in the "Display" subsection: 1024x768. Then save and "Ctrl-Alt-Del" to reboot. Let us know how/if it works.

Well, it's the pretty GUI that tripped him (and me -- I spent almost an hour fighting with my trusty CRT and the video driver).
