I’m getting tired of using Windows. For some reason, my computer will crash whenever I inserted a disc into my DVD-RW drive. The drive worked fine outside of Windows OS, for example when booting Windows Installer or Ubuntu Live CD.

I tried Ubuntu 7.04 Live CD. It fulfilled my basic needs like playing audio / video files, browsing internet, and instant messaging.  Now I’m considering to install Ubuntu permanently replacing Windows as my computer’s OS.

Before doing that, I have a questions:

On the Live CD, the max supported resolution is 1024x768. I’ve did some research and found out that even after installing Nvidia’s GPU driver, the max supported resolution is 1280 x 1024. Is there an easy way to make Ubuntu supports the resolution of 1440x900? I’m using 19” widescreen LCD and that’s the native resolution of my display.

Thanks for your time.  notworthy.gif

After you install the drivers, run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" in a terminal then proceed to restart your computer or ctrl + shift + backspace to restart the x server
or you can manually add the resolution into your xorg.conf file in /etc/X11

heres my xorg.conf file, im running the same resolution as you've mentioned, check out the

you might need to install 915resolution to have the resolution. try to google for the x setting after installing the package

Got a Q here, let say I have two partition when I'm in Windows, and can uBuntu see the second partition? If can how? Because I could not see my Windows second partition in uBuntu.

sudo fdisk -l

mount /target /destination
