I just got through building my new PC.
Intel Quad Core 2.33 GHz
Nvidia 9800GT
4 GB of RAM
320 GB SATA HD
I tried running the Windows 7 RC off of a DVD, but I couldn't get it to boot from the DVD. So, I decided to try out Ubuntu. It seems really great and I only have one problem. I can't get any widescreen resolutions. I get 1024x768 and 1336x768, but my TV is picky and only likes 1280x768 or 1280x720. I can get it to display on my smaller TV, a 26 inch LCD, but I want it to work as my media center pc. How can I get my widescreen resolutions to work?
I have used the Add/Remove Programs option to install Ubuntu's latest nvidia drivers, but I'm not sure how to install the newest drivers from Nvidia's website manually.
