Hi

I have the ebox 4850 with a via cx700m chipset.

My screen is a Samsung SyncMaster 320px, which defaults to 1360x768

I can't change the screen resolution in any way.. Perhaps I have the wrong drivers - I use the stable ubuntu 8.04, shouldn't that be enough?

I don't have gnome installed - using blackbox..

I know that perhaps it is in the xorg.conf - but cannot get it working...

I really need any help you can provide..

Hi.

Im in the same position. My letters and icons are HUGE!

I don't suppose you know how to get things normal yet do you?

Anthony.

Try this:

Applications - Accessories - Terminal

type:
gksudo displayconfig-gtk

press Enter.

Didn't do the trick for me though..
Which driver did you use?
