Gooday all. Well I don't know wtf happened here. Turned the computer on this morning and the page is quarter of the way off the screen to the right. I have recently got rid of windoze and am running a fully updated version of Kubuntu. Install went straight forward and yesterday all seemed to be good. I bought my self a new monitor for x-mas, it's a ASUSvw202t. I can't find the way to set the screen size to 1680x1050. That could be the problem, but it has been running ok for a week prior to the fresh install. I did install a driver update just before this happened, so that could be a part of it too. Any help greatly appreciated.

Re: Screen failure.
Oh dear. Searching round the forum for some insight I found a post where it was suggested to run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" in a bid to sort this screen thingy out. Did that, restarted and now all I have is a command line screen. (i think that is what you would call it. Any how , how the hell do I get back to the Kubuntu screen?

Re: Screen failure.
Edit: Simply try typing startx and see if you get your desktop. If not, then rerun sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and don't have it detect the video. Instead, choose Vesa. This will get you a functioning video display. You can then try and figure out what happened.Windows no longer obstructs my view.
