Thanks Valentin. Thats the maxx resolution. Thats so odd, I know its
integrated video into the motherboard, but sheesh, I was hoping for a higher
resolution. My other linux machine has like 1280 x 1024 with a Nokia but the
VNC window is small just like this one remotely.
I had to reinstall it last night without low level and it worked when I
initially set it to 640x480, so your recommendations really helped a lot.
Thank you. Your right on the refresh rate. Its a range from 30-60hz, and I
did set mine at 1024x768 WXGA I think. I wish manufacturers would start
making drivers for Linux for their products. Now that I'm diving into the
world of Linux I'm finding out that such an awesome O.S. deserves more
support by vendors.
Well, I'm going to start a new thread on something else now, Thanks so much!
