Thanks for the heads up. I am trying linux out for the 1st time in about 3 years as someone at work was trying to convince me that now was the time to give it a shot! i think it was a joke or some things!! This is the 3rd distro i have tried and still not got a running v25. Will give your tips a shot and see how it goes.

cheers

Mine listed a 1024 res, but I seem to recall there was at least one tutorial that suggested you could edit something to add in missing resolutions but I can’t find the right combination of keywords now :(

Hey Chris, Yeah I have a samsung v25, and I’m having the same problem, I tried your fix, and it does get the graphic card working (I now have dircet rendering). However I can’t get a resolution better than 800*600. It says in /var/log/xorg.0.log “no mode of that name” for the 1024*768. I think i must have selected different options from some of the menu’s that configure /etc/X11/xorgs.config. I have tried messing around with xorgs.config, with not success. I don’t suppose there’s any chance you can remember what options you selected?
