Could look better for other people, but not for me. I really loved winamp when just released, but with the years their look changed so much that now I consider them awful.

I wanted something a bit more consistent that did not require much in the way of repetitive action. Another very easy and simple workaround.

Like I always say "Google is your friend" Thanks again for the great post Linux Newb here,

A vintage Xircom 56Kb modem/Ethernet PC Card from my "junk box" is used to connect to the Ethernet and was detected and functions without a glitch. During the installation from a CD no problems were reported, but after installation I had the same difficulties as experienced by Baltimore Mick. The display was garbled and useless. Opening a terminal with Ctrl/Alt/F1 no problem. The first problem I encountered was with "gedit" I didn't wanted to try to sort this problem out, so I switched to "nano" as my editor. As expected there was no "xorg.conf " file in /etc/X11/ With nano I created the "xorg.conf" and typed the content related to the Monitor/Screen (cfr JOPO) into that "xorg.conf " file and copied the file to /X11 with cp. I started Ubuntu, but still had the blurred screen. But now I could change the resolution by clicking the "Sytem Settings" and "Displays". Had to drag the "Displays" icon out of the garbled zone. The max resolution I could get is 1400x1050. I also toggled between "lightDM" and "GDM" as a test, but remained with "lightDM". Thanks to all for the useful info.

You definitely know how to bring an issue to mild and make it important. Extra people need to learn this and perceive this facet of the story.
