how come my vga says 314 but i dont see code 314 up there ?

[d@rkfe@r]

Not sure.. i believe those are the standard sizes.

The codes can vary from chipsets to the driver and to the kernel itself. You will need to substitute whatever I have written at times to whatever suits in your cases. Not everyone has the same setup as I do so I don't expect to produce every single possible output there is. Just like how aircrack-ng docs specify ath0 but not everyone has atheros wireless card and/or uses madwifi driver.

This is where you use your head and think, not to depend on a guide like as if its some sort of bible.

If you´re using the autofit option of vmware, that should be normal.

This is true but these codes work for both of my desktops and laptops.. just thought i should post something to point someone in the right direction.

3) Howto GUI Login Menu:

sudo apt-get install kdm-kde3

Ignore any errors. there should only be two lines of it fyi. Reboot and you will get a plain GUI login menu for kde that has welcome message for Kubuntu.

I have a problem. After this above I have GUI login, but when I log in then I have only KDE wallpaper and text console, without panel, menu etc
