Thanks for the reply. I'm new with Linux & I understand all the instructions except :

Replace generic /etc/X11/xorg.conf with the file http://fit
pc2.com/download/ubuntu/files/xorg.conf

How do I do that ? Is it a Terminal command ?

Thanks,

G

First download the file. It might end up on your
desktop (in this case the path to the file can be
written ~/Desktop/xorg.conf)
Then in a terminal you write:

cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/xorg.conf.backup

sudo cp ~/Desktop/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf

You likely have to enter your password after the last command.
