<pre wrap="">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.

<pre wrap="">I suspect ubuntu has just chosen the generic versa graphics setup.
Do you know what graphics card you've got? If not at terminal do:
wget <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://blogage.de/files/4359/download">http://blogage.de/files/4359/download</a> -O compiz-check
then:
chmod +x compiz-check
then:

You will then know what graphics software modules to install or use. If
you need a hand with this email again.
