[Bradford] Linux Mint screen resolution

[David Carpenter]

Hi John

What do you know about the video card/driver - I've had trouble with
nvidia gforce inside - but eventually the drivers and alternative
drivers have caught up over the years - I've certainly ended up with
800x600 displays at various times in the past - proprietary drivers
have often fixed it I'm afraid.

Not sure I can suggest much else - but I googled this:

good luck

Cheers
David
