[wellylug] Dealing with low resolution in Ubuntu

Thanks for all the help getting Ubuntu updates yesterday. By late 
evening it was installed and looking pretty good. There was only one 
small problem.

Screen resolution was low, which meant playing the games on it showed 
only part of the game board. The rest was below the bottom of screen. I 
tried swapping out the old VGA card for some others (older PCI types 
from stock). One it didn't like and wanted to re-install. The other was 
accepted, but with no improvement.

Is it going to be necessary to re-install for this, or will it accept a 
card with more memory? There is a basic AGP slot on the motherboard.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
