Hello everyone:
Wow I cant believe I got in! Heh been out of job for 3 years now so been away from Ubuntu for a long time and I have forgotten many of the commands anyway; I have 2 questions (I didnt want to open another thread so I post both here):
1- I am dual booting with win7 and Ubuntu 12.4 on this MSi touch screen wintop pc. Everything was working before but:
Recently when I booted into Ubuntu my display driver was set to Basic VGA and so the screen is so big that I cannot use it easily.(so I am using my win 7 right now)
I wondered if there is a solution to put the working Display Driver(s) back on it cuz I miss Ubuntu.
There is a Nvidia Display Driver icon there under Administration/Display but the only res. is at 640 at the drop-down menu & cant be changed!
Anyway I dont care about the touch-screen and hardly ever use it. I just want my Hi Res. back. Thanks!
2- I wonder if I can install an older version of Ubuntu on my machine?
To tell you the truth I dont like the newer version because the OS has too much control and locks everything down and has taken our freedoms away... like the display settings the desktop setting etc, (I am used to the older version where I could move the bar on bottom of the desktop and it is stuck on top and I hate it).
plus lot of other little things which made me go back to windows. (I really liked Ubuntu 7.x and got so used to it but after 12.x feh... they fixed things which were not broke)... My new Asus laptop wont even boot anymore with Ubuntu 14.x and no boot menu? (but thats another story)...
Thanks in advance!
