Hi

I just installed Ubuntu 8.04 on my Nas (with a VIA SN18000G motherboard).
When I start the machine up, I get the login window: http://brafi.dk/screen.jpg

How do I get it to look normal?
My wish is to get it to run a resolution of 1680x1050.

My xorg.conf looks like this:
# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

What is the VGA card you use?

I use the onboard VGA-card, from VIA... (set to 64 MB)

Try:-

sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
and see if that allows you to see the login screen properly.

I've had this problem as well. I already had Ubuntu installed, and tried to reinstall these days. For some reason, my screen became similar to his.
I tried the above command, but didn't work. Help, please? =x

Sorry for not answering this before, but I "solved" this by installing the older version (7.10). For some reason, my computer doesn't accept the new version, meh.
