A strange thing happened on the way to the forum...
I'm trying to install Xubuntu 9.04 on an old Acer 213TE laptop. Weirdly, only 2/3 of the LCD screen is used. It's not as if the screen resolution has been reduced, it is the physical area of the screen that is not being used. However, if I plug a monitor into the laptop, everything is as it should be.
Any thoughts?
(btw, I couldn't install Ubuntu 9.04 desktop; the install would hang at the partition set-up stage. Now with Xubuntu, it seems to have hung up at the "Who are you" stage. I'll report back on this should it permanently hang. BTW, the HDD was completely written with zeros prior to attempting the installation.)
