video issue with xubuntu 12.04

[Dave Stevens]

Hi,

If this isn't the best list please refer me to a better one.

I've installed xubuntu 12.04.1 onto a Compaq Presario SR5130NX box  
with onboard nVisia GeFores 6150SE graphics adapter. Because the users  
are kids I opted in setup to boot straight to the xfce desktop with no  
login. Everyhing is fine until the desktop (should) appear, at which  
point the monitor, an Acer AL1916W, complains, saying, "Input Not  
Supported." I suspect that the monitor is being sent a higher  
resolution image than it can display hence the error message.

I don't see how to intervene to go to a lower res, the boot process  
seems seamless right up to the error message. Ideas? References?

Dave
