Hey Folks,
I'm running a new install of Kubuntu Hardy and when I type Ctrl-Alt-F1, I get the console or whatever she's called but the text is too large and blocky. I would like to change the resolution on this but don't know how. Secondly (and this is of greater concern), when I type commands, they don't appear right away. There's a lag before I see what I have typed show up and execute at the prompt. For example, if I type 'ls' and press enter, I get another bash prompt but the command I've typed neither shows up nor executes until I press enter another 10 times or so. Then, it finally appears and executes. I haven't found any threads detailing this specific issue though my splash is also not showing so I tried adding vga=791 to my menu.lst and updating grub. I then get a list of graphic modes to choose from but they all either do the same thing when I try Ctrl-Alt-F1 or just give me a strobing blitzkrieg of colors and characters. Any help to fix these issues would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if you need more info. Thanks!
