Hi
Now sort of solved by purchase of another PC.
I have a system I can not get working in UBUNTU 10.04 and as yet have had no replies to my posts.
Asked for hardware details

My system is UBUNTU 10.04 LTS.
My Hardware is PACKARD BELL I-Media 1328/1 2GB RAM 500 GB HD.
Monitors E171FPb and HP S2231a.
In windows Xp the system works just fine albeit at 1024x768.
The VGA outputs are from the SIS motherboard and a PCI Diamond Steath 64 card S3.
In Linux I either have to boot into recovery console low resolution single screen on the S3 card
or switch cards in the xorg.conf file, so that after BIOS boot on S3 the SIS becomes the active screen
and the S3 becomes the extended desktop.
I also have had to use the vesa driver not the s3 driver as determined by Xorg --configure.
S3 drive fails EE RAMDAC probe failure.
I have been asking for help from the forum as to why my mouse movement will freeze the system but have not,
as yet had any replies. Google had given me lots to read but no clear insight into how or what to do to fix it.
I am wondering if £88 buys one real support. What is your opinion and or experience of their support.
