Hi, Yes I have solved the problem. Tried to post this on the forum, but I didn't get access yet. The solution is to rewrite your xorg.conf as described in one of the many threads. Can mail you the solution if you want to.

Guys at cannonical sent me a message requesting more info but as i am a newbie there are just some things that are out of my reach as finding the info that they requested and posting it. Never the less i got a reply and that shows that they care and i hope you are more experienced in linux than me so you can provide them the info they need to sort the answers out. > Hope you get better results than i did because ubuntu is such a good linux flavour. > >> Date: Sat, 18 Jul 2009 10:19:02 +0000 >> From:
