Creating a Business Identity
Sunday, August 12th, 2007I’m working on building my After Hours Computer Business. One of the hardest parts was coming up with the visual identity for this business. I knew that I wanted to have a crescent like moon in the "O" of Hours, but wasn’t sure what else to include. So I included all the information that I thought someone would need.
I then sent this link to friends and family. They have given wonderful feedback and I’m in the process of redesigning and resubmitting. I will provide updates as this process continues. Here is the first draft image.
Ubuntu 7.04 - Dell Latitude D620 (Intel Video) 1280 x 800 Resolution
Saturday, August 4th, 2007So you have a brand-spanking new install of Ubuntu 7.04 on a Dell Latitude D620 the Intel on-board video chipset, but the resolution is stuck at 1024 x 768. You’ve searched all over the Internet, Ubuntu Forums, etc and can’t find the answer.
Well, I found the answer about three or four months ago, but when I needed the answer today, I couldn’t find it. I still couldn’t find the answer, but through some trial and error finally found the answer. Please type the commands below at a console session:
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-intel
- sudo apt-get install 915resolution
Next, close all programs, and press CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + BACKSPACE. This will restart your Gnome Session. You should then be presented the log on prompt at the 1280 x 800 resolution.
