I have just bought a new generic computer using a Gigabyte Intel core
duo board.
Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L Motherboard
Since Kubuntu was released last week, I decided to use that for my
initial setup
But I have been getting a few glitches..
1) Screensize. The unit is connected to my old 21 inch monitor which
suggests I use 1600 X 1200 as resolution. maximum that the System
settings Display applet will do is 1360X768 which gives a picture that
is stretched vertically, worse, the system starts up at 1152 X 864, and
jumps to the higher resolution as soon as I open the system settings.
The video is on board the Motherboard
is there any "video tuning application that I can get an idea of why the
resolution is such strange values.
OH and probaly related, i Put some icons on the screen, (drag and drop
from the start menu, and today they jumped in about an inch from the
right hand edge. I went to move them back and they jumped in again.
The ubuntu way of offering only info that is no-technical is great- I am
too old to play alpha geek, but I would like ot know what is up with this.
