Karmic Koala 9.10 live CD:

I have just tried the 9.10 Karmic alpha 4 live/desktop cd on this Averatec laptop. As before, it boots properly and starts the X server, but with too high a screen resolution. The maximum resolution of the screen is 1024x768.

It is necessary to put an xorg.conf file into /etc/X11/ which lists screen resolutions.

Without doing this, one may change the resolution manually using the System>Preferences>Display menu from Gnome. I haven't tried this with the new Kubuntu, but the problem with Kubuntu is that the panel with such tools is off the screen at the bottom, and it's necessary to create a new panel at the top, and add the system menu to it, in order to change the resolution.

I'll try to create a minimal xorg.conf file for setting the resolution.
