Intel845 resolution problem

[Shiva Chikkalli]

Hi,

Thanks for the help. I had done the fonts adjustment and also the refresh
cycle. It had improved a lot. My screen is quite reasonable and no much
issue except, I want to see the screen as good as Windows. I am using
"SyncMaster 793s".

As suggested, I feel going back to UBUNTU8.04 would be a better idea if it
helps me substantially improvement in screen resolution.

*Please, please let me know what is the better way to downgrade the Ubuntu,
I mean the procedure..*

regards
Shiva
