    to get a valid resolution run this command
    Code:
    sudo hwinfo --framebuffer | grep "24 bits"
    Thanks but I got

    Code:
    hwinfo: command not found
    After running that. The link did remind me how I fixed that glitch in Lucid though <--- I'm getting old. I remember having that glitch but not how I fixed it !!

    So.. The question is...

    Are those commands still valid for Quantal or has something changed in the meantime ?

    Yeah, the answer is "suck it and see" but if someone already knows before I bite the bullet it would be much appreciated before I fiddle about !!

    You might want to install it then try again

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install hwinfo

    Sorry, I (wrongly) assumed hwinfo was part of the o/s

    I haven't rebooted yet but after installing hwinfo and running that coomand again I got

    paul@Main-Computer:~$ sudo hwinfo --framebuffer | grep "24 bits"
    process 3801: arguments to dbus_move_error() were incorrect, assertion "(dest) == NULL || !dbus_error_is_set ((dest))" failed in file ../../dbus/dbus-errors.c line 282.

    both x and y of the resolution must be equal to or less than your screen resolution
    you have to follow each step in the guide (step 5 is now sudo update-grub )
    and steps 1, 4 , 5, and 6 have to be run in a terminal so it can prompt for password

    Fixed

    If anyone else is suffering this issue bite the bullet and edit the scripts as per http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-t...4-140810.shtml

    Which was recommended in an earlier post. It's all still relevant but you have to run it all in a terminal as alt+F2 now opens dash "run a command" and you can't get any joy with it

    Well, I can't !!

    Might play aound with it a bit more though as I run 1920 x 1200 and I set it at 1280 x 1024

    Still looks considerably better than it did and as a bonus I can't see all the error messages whilst it's booting anymore (again) !!

    lol
