I have just install unbuntu using wubi on my new AMILPI3620E01, it is a 64 bits computer. The problem is that the screen resolution is unkown, how do i correct this ? I have run update that hasn't helped.
because of this problem my screen is uncleared.

I'm not certain exactly what you are after here, do you have a working x-server? You should be able to set your default screen resolution by editing the xorg.conf file.


sudo emacs /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Under section: "screen" you have the different modes which you can edit to your liking.

(If the monitor isn't detected and yet you have working graphics available in different graphic resolutions, then I don't see your problem.)

This doesn't look good at all. That file should contain a lot more information.

If you download the correct driver from ATi or nVidia and follow the instructions on how to install the driver, that xorg.conf file should be recreated by the installation of the graphics driver. Try that.
