640 by 480 only display option
Hello
Totally new to Linux.
I just did my first installation of ubuntu 2 weeks ago, took forever to figure it out, would not install, ended up haveing to run killdisk then it went fine, (set up a dual boot with XP). I have not finished configureing Xp as I got tired of seting it up just to wipe it out again to try another install of ubuntu.
The computer is an acer aspire T180. Xp cuurently reports the vieo card as an NVidia Geforce 6100nForcee 405
Ubuntu list the driver as Gallium o.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.4, 128bits).
Running off the CD the correct drivers installed but not from the harddrive. Everything is so large you cannot get all all the options that would be available, but I can see 640 by 480 is the only option. I went to the software center I was going to get "NVidia binary X.org" but I do not have a search. I tried "sudo apt-get install NVida binary X.org" but nothing was found. I installed synaptic and gdebi. Maybe I am just not serching the correct term for my problem. Any pointers?
Thanks
