Ive tried to install both Kubuntu and Ubuntu, same result.

Dell Inspiron 8000, ATI Mobility M4 graphics.

Its as if the screen is split in two, but with some parts hidden. It means I cant view any windows that open, and locating icons etc is virtually impossible.

Any suggestions ??

And Whilst I can use Windows.....this is my first attempt with a different OS...so dummies guides are essential.

Thanks.

I have this with Ubuntu 8.04. I use the Fn-F7 key combination twice. The first time gives me a smaller but complete and usable display. The second time gives me a complete and usable full size display.
