Linux ASRock K7S41GX linux drivers Video+Mobo drivers...

Hi, just got a ASRock K7S41GX that I'm typing this out on right now
running ubuntu and i cant get a res higher than 10224x768 at 61hz... now i can run 1600x1200 on my dell monitor at 70hz... so obviously need the drivers... so its a ASRock K7S41GX with Integrated Mirage™ Graphics. Max. 64MB...

I really hope I can get this working nicely...otherwise I'll have to plug in my old GeForce4 Mx 440 64MB but thats AGP 4x.... which would be slower but then its a linux media center/download box so it wouldnt be much slower surely?and would have better supported drivers from nvidia etc right?
cheers

 

Your "Mirage" graphics are actually the SiS 741GX chipset, drivers for which are already in Ubuntu.
You may have to play with /etc/X11/xorg.conf to get the screen resolution you want. Just remember to back it up first!

 

i may have to do what?in english please.i want to basically know how and what i have to do please mate... cause only recently migrated over you see...

 

(If you are using Ubuntu)
Go into a console and type:

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup

then

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

you will hit enter through about everything, except the second question, choosing the video card (SIS), and the next to last questions which are medium (then choose your highest prefered resolution) and choose which resolutions you will want to use. I am doing that off the top of my head so if it is off, I apologize.
