OK, I found a way around the video not detecting the 1024x768 resolution. currently only went up to 800x600. Now goes to 1024x768. It's a pain, but here's how; Install Ubuntu 7.10/Gutsy. Then change the monitor in DisplayConfig to "Generic" "LCD 1024x768". Restart Computer. Then go to /etc/X11 & copy the RGB & xorg.conf files to a USB drive. Install Ubuntu 8.10/Intrepid. Then install Guidance Backend then install displayconfig. use the ROOT nautilus & copy the RGB & xorg.conf files from the USB to the /etc/X11. Restart the computer & it should automatically recognize & stretch the display to the 1024x768. I really don't think you even need those packages installed. I currently have a SONY VAIO R505 with Intel video PIII. If you need more details, pls let me know. JayPMcWilliams
