novatech.
Loaded Linux - Ubuntu onto it - everything works a dream except for the
resolution itself.

hi marc, first try to run this if it works
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
if ti doesn´t work, you can edit your xrog file and add:

Identifier Configured Monitor
Vendorname Generic LCD Display
Modelname LCD Panel 1024x768
Horizsync 31.5-48.0
Vertrefresh 56.0 - 65.0

Hi Pall,

Actually, I think you may have misunderstood me. This isn't an Ubuntu
thing, it's a hardware thing and I don't think it would make a
difference in this case
