Monitor screen resolution in ubuntu desktop10.4 will revert back to 900 * 600
Hello:
It is an old P4 machine, that I had installed ubuntu 10.04 desktop edition on it way back, year ago. I have wrestled with the monitor resolution, a few times in one year, so far.
Unfortunately no matter what I do, and which solution I grab from google search, and apply to it, it will always revert back to
Code:
Resolution 900 * 600
Refresh Rate 60 Hz
Rotation Normal
Anyone has any solution that I may not have tried so far.
I actually got the resolution of both my screens after login and the login screen itself, switched to my favourit resolution, which is 1024 x 768 yesterday. I found a solution posted by someone on the web, through Google search.
Do you know how to change the screen resolution for the big ugly splash logo screen?
Haven't tried it with Ubuntu. With Fedora, I just boot eliminate the rhgb parameter on the command line and boot to the cli. No ugly boot splash, just a bunch of text scrolling by.

Hi RockDoctor:
Do you know how I can login to the Xterm.org Forum to ask my question as you suggested.
I am out of luck, no matter how hard I tried yesterday and all night, I didn't succeed.
I register, and send them the info, but get no response.
Something is wrong with their web site or I just can't figure it out.
Has anyone else run into this problem with their Forum? or is it just me?
I too got a blank page. But I also wasn't able to login, no matter how hard I tried.
Were you able to login at all ?
I couldn't login at all. I am puzzled. Do I need to download a software first, before being able to login?
It isn't friendly at all.
Has anyone on this Forum been posting anything there on that Forum?
No login - I get a blank page again . The same blank page shows up (ok, maybe it's a different one, but it looks the same ) when I try after deleting my .mozilla folder. FWIW, I'm running firefox-7.0.1.

The FAQ section or their first page suggests that if you have a problem contact the Admin. But how?
There is no way of contacting the Admin.
I think the Admin has no idea how inaccessible his Forum is!!!!!!!?????
