Quick Ubuntu help (resolution)
    #5601463 -

Well i finally got my computer going.....

Didnt want to pay for windows...so i decided on ubuntu.

Install went sweet. Im on the machine right now actually......

But for some reason my resolution is really low 640 X 480 with a refresh rate of 60Hz.....So everything is huge....

When I go to click on the little up/down arrows next to screen res., nothing happens and no other options are displayed.

I am logged in as admin......

Am i missing something here?

"MAN! You know there aint no such thing as left over crack!"
