Ubuntu 6.10 will not configure display, even after installation. It gives two screen resolutions in Preferences - 800x600 and 640x480 @ 60 or 56Hz. I slid in the hard drive that has Kubuntu 6.10 on it, copied the xorg.conf file to a thumb drive, booted back to Ubuntu 6.10, copied the xorg.conf file from Kubuntu 6.10 to Ubuntu 6.10, and it almost worked. After I changed the screen resolution to 1280x1024, it works flawlessly. Lower resolutions will not work, however 800x600, 1024x768 both work on this laptop with Ubuntu 5.10 the first time. Attached is a copy of the xorg.conf from Kubuntu 6.10. I haven't compared notes on the two as of yet.
