It came up on my 1680x1050 monitor as 1028x768. I tried installing resapplet, no joy. I installed anyway and got the same resolution. I killed X by killing lxdm-binary and created a xorg.conf with "Xorg -configure" (Intel onboard on a Celeron 2.66Mhz) but couldn't restart X. I hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete, the traditional way to restart X and it rebooted the system. When it came back all I got was a flashing cursor on a black screen. I couldn't open a terminal with Alt+Ctl+Fx because it kept trying to unsucessfully start X before I could enter my username and password, never seen that before. Peppermint and Lubuntu 10.04 had no trouble recognizing the right resolution, BTW. Lubuntu is going on the machine now, I didn't feel like logging in to recovery mode and fighting the machine. Also, during install I opted for automatic login but was given the Display Manager instead. I liked the desktop, it seems like it would have been familiar to a Windows user, but the distro clearly needs a bit more polishing before I would give it to an inexperienced user.
instale 2 veces en una laptop emachine pero no arranca grub

This should not happen. Your download or burnt disc might be corrupted. Please try re-downloading the ISO in the latest version of Firefox and burning it onto a blank DVD

¿Tiene algún otro sistema operativo instalado en su equipo?
Do you have any other OS installed on your computer?

Actually, apparently support for the intel driver for certain chipsets has been borked by the inclusion of KMS in recent kernels. I installed Lubuntu, but couldn't get most video to play. Upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 forced me to use vesa. I eventually had to install the lxde version of Debian Lenny stable.
Well a Zorin Lite Edition certainly makes sense for older/slower hardware.
As for me the standard is fine on older e Machines notebook running with only a gig of RAM and a 160 Gig HDD and an a single core 2.4 gig intel
celeron processor
