i was fucking with kubuntu for a few days, and i was trying to like kde, but to no avail..

i just installed dapper and the only problem i've run into so far has to do with my screen resolution. i want 1280x1024, but i can't seem to use it. i've added it to my xorg.conf file, which (i think) ought to fix it, but i still can't use it. i'm stuck on 1024x768, which sucks. the installers on previous version would allow you to choose which resolutions to allow to be used, but dapper kinda.. glossed over that stuff. and now i'm stuck with a big ugly screen. if i don't figure it out in a few days i may have to go back to using breezy.

that happened to me, but i know you can't just add it to xorg.conf

did you install the video driver (if you have ati or nvidia)? that should fix it. other than that i'd just try reconfiguring xorg, but i forget the command to do it. i need to get my middle mouse working.

<edit> here you got johnny boy

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
