I have a Dell Inspiron E1505 with the ATI Radeon Mobility ( 256 mb) video card.
I have tried to change the video resolution on this computer from the 800x600 setting and i can't get it to change.
I have tried using kmanager and it wont let me change anything
I also tried the xmanager and it does in fact allow me to change the resolution. It then tells me that i need to restart/ reboot to effect the changes. When i do its right back to 800 x 600.
Also is there a way to get the desktop icons to not look compressed vertically and stretched horizontally ?
My guess is that it might have something to do with the display resolution setting but since i am new to this its only a guess
Thanks to any / all that offer any help to this noobie.
