Hi Chris, When you say it doesn't help/work, what happens?
Another option is the following: Start the machine and open a terminal - if this doesn't make any sense to you, just write back and let me know :))) If you know this already, then just ignore me! :) alt-F2 then type gnome-terminal (I'm not at home, but I think you can get to 'Terminal' through the menu by going: Menu > accessories > Terminal. Then type: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /home/<here you enter your name>/Desktop This will copy the file that holds the screen resolution information to the desktop. If, because of the screen resolution problems, you can't access the file to edit it using Gedit, then do the following: go back to the login and change your session to terminal or safe session (something like that, sorry, I'm not at home - again - and cannot recall the exact option) OR reboot and change your start up (hit the esc key to achieve this, just as Grub starts) to safe session. Both will give you a command line prompt. Now do the following: cd /etc/X11/ which will change directory (cd) to the place where the config file is. Then: vi xorg.conf This will open the config file. Remove all the screen resolutions shown which do NOT accord with your monitor settings. Once you've done this, do: :q! This will write the changes to the xorg.conf file. Then reboot the machine: ctrl+Alt+Delete I've had to do this on the rare occassion. If all this is a bit much, send me a copy of the xorg.conf file and the details of monitor and I'll see what I can do.
