I have a mecer bravo laptop which has a sis mirage graphics card,
I cant change the screen resolution from 800 x 600 to anything better.
im running ubuntu
please help
Posting the same question THREE TIMES in different forums won't get you help any faster. Also, how about providing some useful details, like what MODEL the laptop is, and what VERSION of Ubuntu, and what you tried??
Also, did you bother to look at the specs on the laptop? Could be that 800x600 is the best it can do.
