Just had a suggestion since you are replying to a ubuntu -in digest which contains main mails it would be good a.) if you changed the header to reflect what you are responding too b.) post below the mail your are responding too (called bottom or inline posting ) c.) delete the section you are not responding too so that what is irrelevant to your mail need not add to the noise (unnecessary content) on the list. For your ref you whole mail is posted belwo ram On Sat, Dec 12, 2009 at 3:22 PM, Ashish Kumar <[email protected]> wrote: > For adjusting monitor resolution you should go to > System->Preferences->Display > Here in resolution you can see the maximum resolution supported by > your monitor.You can Adjust monitor Resolution and Frequecy there.This > should work. > > On 12/12/09, [email protected] > <[email protected]> wrote: >> Send ubuntu-in mailing list submissions to >> [email protected] >> >> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit >> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in >> or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to >> [email protected] >> >> You can reach the person managing the list at >> [email protected] >> >> When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific >> than "Re: Contents of ubuntu-in digest..." >> >> >> Today's Topics: >> >> 1.
