Ah! I seem to have started a war! Not my intention, I am sure. I now
know my monitor and graphics details, but am still darned if I know how
to increase the resolution on my laptop, as the dropdown, as originally
described, contains no choices. Roy has shed some light on this, but to
date I don't have a fix.
Now, to me, debian looks very pretty, but am prepared to try other
versions if that's what it takes. Trouble is, I have found the same
monitor res issue with Puppy, macpup, mint, dream, lubuntu, and am weary
of burning CD's. It's a pity if these don't work with an old laptop, as
this appears to be partly their purpose. Antix does seem to set up the
res, although to date I can't get the desktop background to show. It's
just black, with all the icons etc clear. I've not installed it. Guess I
need to spend time fiddling to see what's happening here and if it all
works!
Don't fight each other, folks, not for my benefit.
