Enter in root terminal:
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Select your video card by scroll up or down keys on your keyboard) and then hit enter.
the next select the resolutions that you would like to be available for Ubuntu by using the arrow keys to scroll up and down, and the Space Bar to select them.

Restart X by clicking Control+Alt+Delete (backspace). to set up new resolutions.

This starts the Xorg config process.

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
sudo xinit — :2

Look for errors:

tail -f /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Restart all servers by bouncing XDM (or gdm or kdm):

sudo /etc/init.d/xdm start

This starts a new X server — usually on tty8 or tty9 (CTRL-ALT-F8). You can go back to the original X server by pressing CTRL-ALT-F7.

Graphic Plotter

Graphic Plotter is a useful program to draw different type of math.
It is written in Visual Basic 6 (ca. 18.1.2000), and consequently requires the Visual Basic runtimes in order to work.
You may well already have not these on your system, so I have included the files.

- Download Graphic Plotter
- Graphic Plotter “GraphPlot_2001.exe”
- Common Controls OCX “ComCtl32.ocx” 230K
- Visual Basic Runtime “Vbrun60.exe” 973K SP3

The files are compressed in .zip.

Installation instructions:

After you have downloaded graphic_plotter.zip, extract all the contents into the folder where you want it installed, z.B. c:\graphic_plotter for example.
If you have not to Visual Basic Runtime files on PC. you should be unzipped Vbrun60.zip, comctl32.zip and executed BEFORE running graphPlot.
Once all the files are in place, you can run GraphPlot_2001.exe.

Here are some screenshot of the Graphic Plotter
