P.S. I just installed 10.3 on my second drive. It recognized the
resolution capabilities of the monitor, and runs with 1024x768. I can
deal with the lesser resolution on 10.1 until I get everything moved to
10.3.
I should add, I am very impressed with the new OS. It is the only
distribution so far that I have installed as a second system without
major problems.
