I got the installer going by doing what you suggested and just as the installation begins I get this error:

GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.PackageKit was not provided by any .service files.

Can you possibly help me here? Thank you very much.

Download 915resolution.tar.gz

http://home.myfairpoint.net/buckaroo39/915/915resolution.tar.gz

Extract the 915resolution file

As root copy it to /usr/sbin

From terminal type:

sudo 915resolution -l

A list will show for the available resolutions

Select the one you want and type similar to the example below:

sudo 915resolution 58 1600 900 32

logout and log back in – you should have the correct resolution.

If you have the resolution that you want then navigate to /etc/rc.local

As root edit the rc.local script file to resemble the sample below to indicate your desired resolution:

—————————————————

#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will “exit 0″ on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

/usr/sbin/915resolution 58 1600 900 32

exit 0

——————————————-

After saving the rc.local script reboot into your new resolution.
