Hi
Please forgive me if this information is already somewhere on the forum - I have spent sometime searching. If it is, just point me to it and accept my apologies.
I should also say that I am just in the process of kicking the microsoft habit so am a bit of a Linux newbie.
I have a Dell Latitude C800 laptop. It has a "ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility M4 AGP" (according to lspci) and a 1600x1200 display. Gutsy didn't recognise my video card/monitor and only offered me 800x600 resolution. My work around for Gutsy was to go into "Administration -> Screens and Graphics" and insist that I had a 1600x1200 monitor. When I then went into "Preferences -> Screen Resolution" it would allow me to select 1600x1200 there too. If I missed the first step (change monitor size), then I would only be offered 800x600 in "Screen Resolution".
On Hardy, the "Administration -> Screens and Graphics" program is no longer present. I cannot therefore tell the system that I have a high res monitor, so "Screen Resolution" does not offer me anything higher than 800x600.
Can anyone suggest a work around for me please? I am quite happy to use shells and edit config files, I just need to know which to adjust.
Thanks in anticipation
Colin
