Problem with display in ubuntu OS
 

I'm having a problem with ubuntu OS Display
I'm getting a very much bigger desktop just like when u see using a magnifier in windows i'm not geting what the problem is help me
i'm sending an image of it check it out

Looks like your resolution is set too high, try right clicking on the desktop and look for either resolution or a properties menu (not sure what version of Ubuntu you're running). If you can't find it that way, you can always find the control panel in your "start" menu.
Simply find the resolution or display settings and make it larger. My guess is you're currently set at about 800x600 or so, which is pretty large for today's monitors.
If you have any further issues, feel free to post again, it is possible you will need a video driver update before the resolution change is possible.

Only two options
 

Sir
actually i tried that too . But It's having only two options are there
1.800x600 (16:9)
2.820x340(9:1)(Not sure)

3.Solaris
4.Mandriva
5.Knoppix

it's driver cd contains drivers for redhat
is it possible to install usb drivers for ubuntu?
Please help


Please note that i have correct OS cd and also tested in others pc and there is every thing is fine what could be the problem

The limited availability of resolutions is due to missing video card drivers. Linux is only packaged with free software and thus does not usually include drivers for your specific video card. If you list your video card make and number, I'm sure we could find you one.

Personally I am a fan of Linux Mint for beginners. It is built on top of Ubuntu and includes device driver locators, making it easy to find all the drivers you need.

Is using linux mint will be good for me sir???

I need know advantages
I use my pc extremely for personal issues
Is it good for me

Windows and Linux are nothing alike. Installing drivers in Linux can be quite different. Also you cannot use Windows drivers in Linux, you need to find Linux versions of those drivers if you need the device support.

Linux is very hands on and requires more work to customize than Windows. If you want an OS that is as easy as Windows, Linux would not be the obvious choice.

The Linux Mint website is filled with information on it. I posted the link above, feel free to browse the site and see if it is right for you.

Ubuntu Forums - via km400 video supported?

you will need to download the driver file, if you know your modem type, google should be able to find it easily. You can do this from another computer and copy via usb drive, or by plugging a lan cable into your computer (assuming your computer supports this). Wireless is the only type of internet that may not work by default.

If you click on the lock icon in the bottom right it should attempt to find updates and drivers for you, simply let it install them, once your new video drivers are downloaded you should be able to change your resolution.
