I have completed loading Ubuntu 7.10 and have downloaded all 902 updates.  I have started to use my system.  I went to System>Preferences>Monitor.  I opened the screen resolution window to change resolution as the resolution is too small for me.  I changed resolution to I believe 600X800.  When I applied the settings the screen went black and never came back, even after a long wait.  I killed power to the machine and rebooted the system.  It came back up OK.  I tried again, same results.  Also there is a choice for refresh rate.  Is it specific or will either one work?  Has anyone else had this problem?

I tried changing screen resolution on my dedicated off line Ubunto machine with disk load only and no updates.  It works fine.  The off line machine has a much longer list of resolution choices than my online updated machine. For the online machine (the one with the problem) the resolution window looses the 60HZ choice for refresh rate.  I think this may be part of the problem as I believe 60HZ is the necessary refresh rate for USA.
