Hey all.
I have been using Ubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04 for several months now as a duel boot with windows on the raid 0 array. I've been very happy with it and seldom boot to windows. I got to wondering why I haven't seen any prompts to update lately so I did it manually. Thats when I found that I could upgrade to Ubuntu 7.10 and the fun began.
The first problem I ran into was the screen resolution. It was so small that I was having a hard time reading it. I tried changing the resolution but ended up with really big res. with no in between. For some reason, I changed the driver that my ati radon 9800 pro gpu was using in the hopes that I could get more options. What happened was that the screen is now unreadable. I'm feeling pretty stupid about it but am outing myself here in the hopes that there is a solution.
Fortunately, the upgrade allows me to boot into Kubuntu which I actually like a little better. The problem I'm having now is that I'm not able to mount all the partitions from my HDD's. I know that Linux won't see the raid array but I have an IDE drive that it reads as an extended partition. It's formated as NTFS so I installed the NTFS configuration tool. This program helped in that I can now see two of my other drives, but I still can't see the 138 gig drive.
My questions
How do I change the driver back in Ubuntu when I can't see the screen.
How to I get Kubuntu to mount the other 138 gig drive. It sees it but won't mount it.
the error hal-storage-fixed-mount refused uid 1000
Any help is appreciated.
