[SWLUG] Screen resolution problems.

[Davage, Marcus]

I've been living happily with Mandriva 2008, Ubuntu 8.04, Windows XP for
about a year now.

Decided to upgrade Ubuntu to 8.10, but it displayed my screen as 800x600
instead of 1024x768.

Tried upgrading to 9.04 after burning the install DVD. Same there.

Tried re-installing to 8.04 with the original install DVD. Same again!
Huh?

 

Tried Upgrading Mandriva 2008 to 2009 - it borked.

 

Tried installing Fedora 10 over my Ubuntu partition, and it too
displayed my screen as 800x600 instead of 1024x768.

 

At least when I installed Windows 7 rc, it recognised that I have
1024x768, even if it didn't recognise my ATI Rage 128+ video card.

 

What is going on?

 

Regards,

Marcus Davage
