I'm having a few problems when booting, i get to the log-in screen and its resolution is probably about 900xsomething, much smaller than the screen.
If i boot into KDE, it stays the same, and as soon as i select "Monitor and Display" (?), it immediately hops up to 1280x1024 (what it should be), and everything locks up.
Oddly, if i boot into the Gnome desktop first, it immediately finds the correct resolution (1280x1024), and i can then log-out and into the KDE environment with no problems.
On a re-boot, it goes back to the original, though.
The card is an ATI Radeon 9800Pro.
If i select "Hardware Drivers" on the Menu (either in KDE or Gnome), it says that there is a driver to activate, but if i click on "Apply", nothing happens. It says it's down-loading something, but the router light does'nt flicker.
I've installed Envy, but the problem persists, and glxgears work.
Can anyone help? It's not a Major Problem, just a bit of a bugger.

), so i got Synaptic to install the fglrx driver, and the computer and myself are now dancing to "Going home", by Ten Years After.... the live version at that.!
