Packard Bell (Ubuntu on vista home) [test] nvidia driver problem with resolution [max. 800x600]

Asked by Sean Richards

I've come to the conclusion that I hate the way Vista operates.

Successfully installed Ubuntu while in Vista.

Unable to find the right driver and what about system info. Is there no easy way, like in Vista, to see all the hardware and where maybe to install?

Another conclusion: don't know how to find the sys info to find the right driver...

Any help would be great! <email address hidden>

What drivers do you need?

For system info you can search for "Device Manager" or "Hardware Lister" in "Ubuntu Software Center"

If you are looking at video drivers have a review of this, and followup with more details and questions.
