Hi - currently running an AMD duron with 396Meg with 8Meg SIS-630 onboard videocard.
I attempted installing 8.04 with the above monitor and it just hung in a command screen during install.
So I dragged out a dusty old HEAVY 15" VGA CRT monitor, and everything installed great.
When I swapped back the LCD monitor, and re-booted, the Ubuntu 8.04 gave me the gray "unknown monitor" screen.
After messing around, I eventually got the graphics to work on the LCD, but only at 800x600 (or 640x480).
Is there any way I can get a proper driver for the above screen to run it at 1440x900 or some similar resolution?
PS- it works quite well at this resolution (32m colors) when I boot it from my trusty old Win2000! W2K will LIVE FOREVER!
Thanx.
