I boot Lubuntu with acpi=off and vga=ask and choose option 4.
When booted up in Lubuntu I cannot get it to reconfigue the screensize so that
the whole of my monitor is
used and not just halve of it, this is why I needed the above commands kernel
boot, because only halve of my monitor is used to show linux, when I used puppy
for example, I booted up as above, then run the monitor settings program.
However when I go to
preferences for my monitor in Lubuntu, it only changes the resolution and not
actually change the screen size used on the monitor.


When I type into the CLI ctrl+alt+F1 (what is that called again?) "sudo
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" it merely moves to the next line, it doesnt do
anything or throw any error messages. And when I go to main window ctl+F7 it is
still smaller than screen
monitor.
