screen resolution

David,

I have had a look at various lists, forums, etc to find information for
you.  The general advice is to install the following files (1)
build-essential, (2) linux-headers-2.6.24-19, (3) kernel package as well as
Linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-19-generic.

Some or all of these files you may already have installed.  It seems to me
that something either was not downloaded or not configured.

Another suggestion was to use envyng-gtk which you will find in the
repositories.  That will identify what driver you need and remove old files
and configure the driver.

Andre
