i updated my computer this morning (Ubuntu 8.04 x64 with a a native resolution of 1920x1200), then after the restart it prompted me about no hardware acceleration and now i can't get the resolution above 640x480 which is unusable.
I've tried modifying xorg.conf but can't get it to work
(i have a 8800gtx btw)
# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by failsafeDexconf, using
# values from the debconf database and some overrides to use vesa mode.
#
# You should use dexconf or another such tool for creating a "real" xorg.conf
# For example:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

any help?
I've tried changing the resolution in the terminal but it won't let me go above 640x480 still?
thanks for your help
