Comment 8 for bug 1763844

I fixed the display problem by running the following command, which appeared to work OK:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall python-apt

After that I opened "Settings" and on the "Screen Display" tab I then had the choice of choosing the proper video card driver. I chose it, and restarted, and I now have a sensible display setting of 1680*1050.

As a point of interest, when the display was set to 640*480 it was extremely difficult to use things like "Settings" due to the inability to scroll down on the wizard or the screen. Perhaps some testing of such things against what I presume is the default screen setting of 640*480 would make trouble shooting easier.

Thanks,
Chris
