	as I think I mentioned yesterday, the one difference that I
	discovered between *this* fedora 17 {ethos} and my new one
	{tao} is that ethos has an nVidia card; tao has an ATI 
	graphics card.  

	I send email to my technician who send me a URL to a ubuntu
	12.10 download.  ai think the only thing I need to fix the 
	resolution problem is to buy an nvidia card, or swap this 
	one.  

	that said, I'll fess up and admit that "back in my day" the
	VAX 780 was the leading computer.  the computer I had in my 
	co-op was an 8085-8088 running M/PM.  I knew very little about
	computer hardware =then=; I dont know any more these days.
	if Fedora-17 has no advanced drivers from the ATI 6778 card,
	I'l have to have the tech come out and put in the nVidia
	and reboot.  [cant do much myself because I have been disabled
	since around age 9.]
