Hi and thanks for the welcome.
My graphics card is an ASUS GeForce 560 1GB PhysX CUD (whatever that last part means).
I did as you suggested with vga=ask, and now I just have to figure out why my max res is 1280x1024. My monitor is a Samsung 225BW, so it's a bit unsharp and flattened at that resolution... couldn't get the xrandr how-to on the linked wikipage to work with any higher resolutions than that. Will have another go at it later this week.
All hints, tips & tricks welcome!
Cheers,
Flemming.
