The correct resolution is not available in that menu. Only Widescreen resolutions were available with the exception of 800x600, which is too low. Something is different on this configuration or in the detections when you use a DVI cable instead of a VGA cable. As far as I can see there is no way to specify the correct resolution in this setup. It would have to be a setting in the lts.conf file, I suppose.

Can't you just switch to the correct resolution in the display settings control panel (Ubuntu Menu: System -> Preferences -> Display after logging in)? > Also, The thin client appears to react faster to mouse clicks when using the > VGA port.

It should go away when you set the correct (native) resolution. Jakob ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Come build with us!
