I can not get full screen

In System>Preferences>Screen Resolution .....there might be other options.

Hi dukota

Maybe the following helps:

1: Open the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
2: Update the screen section:

Section "Screen"
 Identifier "Default Screen"
 Device "nVidia Corporation NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro]"
 Monitor "Generic Monitor"
 DefaultDepth 24
        SubSection "Display" (insert this line)
                   Modes "1280x800" (insert this line, chosse your resoluiton)
        EndSubSection (insert this line)
EndSection

3: Save the file
4: Reboot

Hope it helps.

It doesn't let me save it.

You have to login as the root. Because the file has root privileges. I'm sure a command exists to switch to root. But I don't know this command. Try "sudo" or "su" or ask a new question "How can I switch to the root?".

Hope it helps.

Don't login as root please use "sudo"

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type:
(if the system ask you a password give your user password, you will not see nothing when you type it, then press enter)

sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

or

sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Hope this helps

Hy marcobra

Great. Thanks for you hint.

But: why don't login as root? Because you will be able to destroy the system? Thanks for the answer.

Hello guys,

Thanks for your help, I'm totally new with ubuntu, wait for the secure tip :)

Hello marcobra,

I don't know how to NOT LOGIN AS ROOT, can you show me step by step, I'm a dummy :)

Hi dukota

1: Clck System > Administration > Users and Group
2: Click Add user
3: Add a new user.
4: Reboot the system and log in as the new user or click the icon in the taskbar which is called root.

Hope it helps.
