There is this great company in the cities called "the tech outfit". I know one of the owners, and he is pretty well versed in the world of linux. <br><br>Check them out here:<br><br><a href="http://thetechoutfit.com/">

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Last weekend I updated to Ubuntu7.10 along with new versions of Firefox<br>and Opera (I like Opera when it works but that's not the immediate
<br>problem).<br>Formerly (before updates) Firefox worked OK but Opera took so long to<br>download anything it was basically unusable (that's why was using<br>Firefox). Also I operated my 19 inch Gateway monitor at 107? x 78?
<br>resolution (sorry I can't remember exact number).<br><br>Immediately after updates the Firefox became so slow (or time to connect<br>to provider) it is unusable; however now Opera works great for both<br>browsing and email (however my provider doesn't support/provide for Opera
<br>browser so I can't view email in browser at provider web site; other web<br>sites work OK) [I have to use 'Windows' box to view email on web<br>page--that's a spam control tactic].<br><br>Now the problem:: Yesterday when I booted this Linux machine, a window
<br>came upwhich stated<br>"Ununtu is running in low-graphics mode. Your screen and graphics card<br>could not be detected<br>correctly. To use higher resolution, visual effects or multiple screens,<br>you have to configure the display yourself" A little radio button with
<br>statement "Always run in low-graphics mode"<br>Three large radio buttons 1. "Configure" 2. "Shut down" 3. "Continue"<br><br>Button 1 wants to know what graphics card<br>Button 2 restarts the machine (does not shut down)
<br>Button 3 starts the machine in 800 x 600 resolution (which I don't like -<br>web pages overflow the screen and no position sliders appear.<br><br>The machine has worked at 107? x 780 resolution for approximatly the last
<br>two years without any intervention on my part.<br><br>How do I get higher resolution back??<br>How do I test my video card (if there is one)?<br>Where is a store/repair shop that knows Linux machines?<br><br>Incidently upon going to Gateway web site (monitor is Gateway EV910) they
<br>were bought by Acer last week and the first web page comes up however the<br>download site doesn't respond today.<br><br>Thanks for you time,<br>Steve<br><br><br>--<br>Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client:
