[lubuntu-users] SiS Graphics problems - lubuntu 18.04.3 LTS 32-bit

[Ian Bruntlett]

Hi Walter,

Thanks to your reply, I am much more familiar with cvt and xrandr. I used
them to create a higher resolution mode but when I tried to activate it
from the lubuntu GUI... nothing happened! It stayed in low-res mode.

OK, I'm not familiar with this sort of thing. How do I change the installed
system to match the live system? Is it only kernel module settings or other
things as well? I've never had to change a kernel module's settings before).

Also, is there anything else I should read as background material?

BW,
