** Description changed:

- My PC is an old one : amd k6 200 with an old ATI graphical card : rage. So I 
decided to install Xubuntu jaunty on it (because it shoul be faster), and I 
used EXT4 partition system. From boot to login, the speed is correct, but from 
login to XFCE desktop it is horribly slow. The desktop is only displayed  after 
at least 2 minutes. The screen resolution is very high (1600x1200 for a 17" 
screen!!).

screen!!).
  So I set it to 1024x768 using "Display" and the "settings editor" too. But as 
soon as I reboot the PC, the screen resolution come back to 1600x1200 though it 
remains set as 1024x768 in the settings editor (but not in the Display 
application). So there is a difference between the resolution set in Display 
and in the settings editor. That's weird.
  1) What is the origin of this screen resolution issue? (I want it to stay set 
as 1024x768)
  2) Why is it so slow to display the desktop after login?
- Do you think it is because of the graphical card ? Then why it is always said 
that Xubuntu is convenient for OLD PC's and it does not work with OLD graphical 
cards (from old PC's) ? That is not consistent.

  Any help for this issues ?
  Thanks in advance
