I think that few years ago I will try to fix it. I do know where to look and what sorts of things to try but I think I'm either too lazy or to old for that :) I will wait few more days and get a clean install of Hardy. Cheers, Greg Hello Josh

That will give you less options in the boot loader. -sounds like you should take a look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf that config file controls most everything about your display settings including resolutions. Make sure the list of resolutions for your display is accurate -if you aren't comfortable mucking with config files you could always try dexconf or dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. These are tools for configuring your xserver. This is the best kind of situation for learning more about your linux box! Get in there and fix it! Hi greg,
