I am new to Linux, and installed Xubuntu onto an old (Vista-vintage) laptop with SIS 771/671 graphics. The LiveDVD seemed OK at the native screen resolution of 1024x788; after install completed and it boots from the HDD, the resolution defaults to 640 x 480.
I looked up this problem; it seems to be common, but with no certain solution (as far as I can understand).
1) How do I troubleshoot this and move towards a solution?
2) Am I looking at an impossible situation?
3) Why does it work from the DVD at native screen resolution (1024x788)?
Thank you.
