Public bug reported:
Installing Ubuntu 8.10 on an eMachines H3256 first produces only a
800x600 display. The LiveCD shows the same thing.
I tried installing nvidia-graphics-driver-96 (96.43.09-0ubuntu1.1) first
through 'jockey-gtk' and then through 'envyng' after a reboot. Both
recommend nvidia 96 and both create an error on boot up: "Low graphics
mode".
Now surprisingly, when you click "Use low graphics mode", it actually
uses 1280x1024, but the nvidia driver is not enabled.
When you disable the nvidia driver, is falls back to 800x600 as it was
when Ubuntu was first installed.
