Noob Q regarding graphics

[Inhabitant of Zion]

Hi

New to Ubuntu but been around Linux for a while. Used Mandrake for
many years.


Have a problem with the graphics on a Dell Damnation 3000 PC (The P4
3.9ghz jobbie).

I have had a problem on a similar system before and ended up
concluding the graphics chip (onboard) was not Linux compatible. On
this system with ubuntu I do get into x but its 640x480 and I can't
seem to change that.

Anybody else had this problem? Is it worth trying to sort it out or
will I end up with it being out of sync? 

Any ehlp much appreciated.
