Hi.
Having successfully recently made the change to Ubuntu on my laptop and PC, I decided to install Ubuntu onto my daughter's laptop this evening. It's an old Mecer (South African brand).
During installation, and now after booting, the background is a weird kaleidoscope of colours (can vaguely make out the pattern of the default jaunty background) and resolution is so bad I have to keep checking menus on my own laptop to see what is what. I tried changing resolution and refresh rate under > display but it makes no difference. When I tried doing a dpkg reconfigure (as per another thread) in terminal, I also found that the space bar doesn't work anymore!
Any suggestions?
