So I can not get any better resolution than 800x600! It is horrible. I have Nvidia set up on my lappy should get better than that right?
Thanks again

Re: Display issues in kubuntu 8.04 x64
May be a wild guess but are you trying to set the resolution by right-clicking on the desktop, like in windows? Instead hit the kmenu button and select system settings/monitor and display and set it there.

Re: Display issues in kubuntu 8.04 x64
I am not a 64bit expert (luxury for me at the moment
) nor nivdea cards but could you post some more info on your machine?
Like machine make / version, card version, ram, cpu, etc.
x64 and lappy is a bit vague 
There a a lot of people that do know their way around those systems and could be of more help with more information

Re: Display issues in kubuntu 8.04 x64
also, I believe there are like 3 different Nvidia drivers for Kubuntu, if I remember right.
So more info would help...maybe post what Fintan requested and which Nvidia driver you are using?"Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying, or else you say something true, and it will sound like it's from Neptune." ~Noam Chomsky<br /><br />Gigabyte MB, AMD 64x2 6000, 2 Gigs Patriot DDR2, XFX GeForce 8600GT XXX, 400Gig WD SATA HDD & 1TB WD SATA HDD.Comment

Re: Display issues in kubuntu 8.04 x64
I got it working no worries. Thanks though! I ended up reinstalling Kubuntu and starting over. I got the Nvidia drivers working super smooth with no hang ups the second time around. Lets see what happens when I try and install Compiz though.
P.s. I have a HP 9810us notebook.
The only thing left keeping me from a fully functioning install is that dang wireless adapter "See other post".
Thanks again guys you rock.Comment
