I have the Intel 915GM chipset with a 1280x800 native res. LCD...
that was a little frustrating to get working.
My xorg.conf had the correct resolution listed, but under Ubuntu it showed 1024 x 768. I found out eventually that all I had to do was add the line "1024 x 768" and then choose 1280 x 800 in Ubuntu. now everything has been working perfect for about a month.

My next project is an UbuntuStudio based DAW. Any hardware suggestions? PM me.

Running Ubuntu 7.04 with nVidia and Wireless restricted drivers

Firefox & Thunderbird, with standard Gnome desktop (albeit an XP look-a-like).

This machine is lightning fast. Quicker than with XP or Vista.

This is the 4th machine (3rd Dell) that I've installed Ubuntu on.
