[Gllug] help with ubuntu

[Wiehe, Simon]

Yay, I got there. I went home and took a look at the various serial number,
etc. on the card and got a match with a G400 Millennium II card with 16Mb.
Isn't it silly when you can't remember what hardware you have.

Selecting the right card means I now get 1280x1024. Nearly there. I'm off to
the Ubuntu board to ask a few questions.

   The team developing the new installer for Debian Sarge are getting
requests for help from people trying to install Ubuntu because the Ubunto
installer is apparently based on an older version of the Sarge installer.
