Hi All,

Got a shiny new Ubuntu box.  I went in and installed the KDE desktop so I
guess I'm now running Kubuntu.  A few questions please.


1) How do I get the sound effects back that originally came with Ubuntu?

2) If I change the screen size to a useable value - 1024x768 - the machine
won't boot into X.  It complains "no screens found".  Any idea what's wrong
here?

The modified portions of xorg.conf:
