Logged in and everything on screen is in my face ! Went to system settings and res is stuck @ 640x480. Even in admin cannot move the slider (only 640x480 is listed tho)...tried sudo xrandr -r 1024x780 and and other combinations and terminal always tells me not supported. All was fine with resolution before.

If you are using Hardy don't log in to your normal kernel. Boot into Recovery. That has an option to "Try to recover X Server." Try that."A problem well stated is a problem half solved." --Charles F. Kettering

Re: Screen resolution stuck @ 640x480 ?
is this done with the CD ? ...if so, i tried and tells me this CD does not have rescue on it (8.04.1)
tried in Terminal: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xsrever-xorg
...and:
Package `xsrever-xorg' is not installed and no info is available.
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.
/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: xsrever-xorg is not installed
tried: dpkg info - "cannot find node deb"
don't know if i'm on the right track here

Re: Screen resolution stuck @ 640x480 ?
No. It's not done with the CD.
When you first start up you will see a list of kernels to boot into. Unless your computer hides the list in which case it will tell you to press a certain button to access this.
You've got a typo. It should be:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"A problem well stated is a problem half solved." --Charles F. Kettering
