Is this normal? I've just installed ubuntu 8.04 and whenever I use the mouse, there is a shadowy white box from which I have to place over whatever I want to click on. It's really difficult to use this distro because of this. Will I have to download and install mouse drivers to get the mouse to work properly?

Currently, not all plug-and-play features are supported by fit-PC, so autoconfiguration of X11 (the graphics engine) does not work. Now, to change the resolution you need to do the following: Press "Ctrl+Alt+F1" to get into the text console, there: Code: /etc/init.d/xdm stop # stop the X server nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf # edit the X server configuration /etc/init.d/xdm start # start X server back When you edit the X server configuration, you need to delete "HorizSync 31.5 - 35.1" and "VertRefresh 50-70" from monitor definitions (lines 121-122), and also in the "Screen" section add the resolutions you would like to use in the "Modes" (lines 155, 155, 160, 165, 170, and 175), e.g. Code: Subsection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 16 Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" EndSubSection http://www.pcfixreview.com
