Dear, when I bought the machine it came with vista ultimat, worked fine no problem at all. With Machine I had gone for Viewsonic VG1930wm a wide screen multimedia monitor, that too worked fine. Windows did not had any problems as far as resolution is concerned.

 

Last year I had a slow machine 700 duran, and I had tried Ubuntu 6.10 but failed as neither I had Broadband, nor the pc too match it. Now as I was equipped with hardware, I decided for ubuntu 7.04 64bit. As now my Machine is AMD 64 4400, with I GB Ram, and 250 GB hard disk. One partition of 60 GB I had specifically devoted to Ubuntu.

 

Now, installation was fine no problem even softwares got updated, speed and feel was just admirable, but the resolution looked fade, on checking found it was max, 1024x768 in the list of three. Checked into forums and tried to download nvidia driver did it, but no difference. Read second edition E Book, tried to reconfigure xorg, from recovery at boot, did all the steps as instructed but no change. Although I did choose the required resolution of 1440x900 in xorg config, but after rebooting no change is seen, accept one! now if I enable the nvidia restricted driver the pc reboots in Ubuntu but the desktop freezes. Nothing works after clicking, and I had to go through reconfiguration again but the problem with resolution is not resoved.

 

Yes I can boot windows, which comes as a last option in the grub, and windows again dont have any resolution problems, even now. I have been told that it could be done, but I am not familiar with the Dos format of linux, or windows, so would request all the commands to get it done.

 

Please do he needful,

Ashfaq
