That's the problem with Linux, things don't work the right way straight away, and new users don't know how to make them right. Razz

For instance, I daresay your bitdepth and resolution problems were simply because the wrong defaults were set in the xorg.conf file. I know this because my first experience with Ubuntu had the same problem, and I had to search the internet for a good while to find out the solution.

But don't give up! I'm sure there will always be people here to help if something doesn't work right. Big Ups

Interesting note: I'm posting from a Hackintosh, and that setup fine. Maybe you should try MacOS too!
