Hey folks. I just upgraded my wife's computer to 8.10 in the hopes her video card (Radeon 9800) would run as well as mine (Radeon x1950) did when I upgraded. I get Intrepid installed, activate the restricted drivers, and reboot. When it comes back up it tells me it is in low graphics mode-- fine. Resolution after logging in is something ridiculous, 1280x1024 I think. That won't work with her monitor, way to high, so I changed it to something lower-- don't remember what and cannot see now.
After the pretty login screen, the desktop is slanted: upper left seems in the right place, but the right side is about 1/3rd of the way down the screen and everything else is blurry as heck. This happened after I tried to change the resolution. :confused:
I've scoured the forums for a solution but I am not sure what the problem even is! I've reconfigured my xorg.conf a billion ways (okay, billion is a bit much) but even with a very basic one the screen is still messed up. ](*,)
Any suggestions? Thanks.
