I am currently running Kubuntu 8.10 KDE 4.
I installed Kubuntu fine with no problems however when I booted into Kubuntu my resolution was set to 800x600 and I can't make it go any higher. I checked all the default areas for resolution setup (System >> System Settings & KRandRTray.
I Know my resolution can go higher because currently there is a at least 1inch of black around my screen because it is not max resolution.
I tried dpkg -reconfigure xserver-xorg, editing xorg.conf, xrandr (no idea how that program is suppose to work) and even envyng -qt and still nothing except broken xorg file and messed up .ICEauthority files.
This is the video card information i get from lspci. VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems CyberBlade XPAi1. When i check device hardware (which i usually do to fix graphic card problems) to turn on the driver for this graphic card nothing is there. Its like the system can see the graphic card but won't turn it "on" and won't allow me to turn it on.
Any advice would be appreciated.
