Is it possible to change from 1024 x 768 to 1400x900 after installing 8.04? I cannot get install to use greater than 1024x768. If I install nVidia drivers(nVida 6800 card) can I then change to higher resolution?
Or am I outta luck?
Thanks

The nvidia drivers should give you access the range of resolutions that your card supports.
You might want to install nvidia-settings after enabling the nvidia driver.
In terminal type
sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings
And run with gksu, in terminal type
gksu nvidia-settings
