Hi Guys

I have a friend with the 856gb chipset and they've hit an interesting hurdle. 
When ubuntu was installed the 3d support worked great and had a desent 
resolution. Suddenly the pc has dropped back to 600x480 resolution with no 
other resolution being listed when trying to change screen resolution . 3D 
acceleration is still working, just can't get above a low end vga resolution 
for some reason. Any ideas?
