Hi :)

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS is the recommended release for crucial machines that you don't 
want to upgrade too often.  The LTSes only need upgrading about every 2-3 years.

The 6monthly releases are fun to try but often have experimental features and 
the 11.04 is an extreme example of that.  On most systems you might need to 
logout or at login click on the user-name and then look at the bottom of the 
screen to change "Session type" from "Ubuntu" to "Classic".  The "Classic" 
session is the familiar Gnome Desktop Environment.  


Typcally if the resolution is higher than physical screen size then the keyboard 
arrow keys, perhaps with Ctrl or Alt, help you move the area of the screen being 
shown.  


To be honest it sounds as though you need to install the correct driver for the 
graphics card.  I'm not sure how to find it but perhaps through booting into 
"recovery mode" then choose "fix x-server" you might be able to nudge it into 
sorting it all out for you.

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Subject: [libreoffice-users] do not upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04 with standard 
resolution widescreen monitor


I am warning people.
Ubuntu 11.04 uses a default monitor resolution that is greater than
the max I have for my LCD wide screen monitor.

It does not remember what you used for 10.4 or 10.10.
So you will get an "Unsupported Input" error on the monitor, if you monitor does 
have that messaging system like Acer does.

I have moved all my files from my internal to external and using my Vista laptop 
as a duel boot to Ubuntu 10.10, till I get a change to fix the issue on the 
desktop.  Had to take it apart to get the must up to date stuff off the internal 
drive.

So untill I figure out how to get the install of 11.04 to not go beyond my max 
resolution of my widescreen monitor, I will have to keep to 10.10.
