I'm using Linux in a old PC and today I clean all old systems ( yeah I didn't clean the system since 5 years).
After install 9.04 I can't put 1024x768 resolution.
After google it I found a thread talking about it [1]

For me it is useful and then I publish it here. Even I want support to 3D acceleration I read that it's not possible (waiting for new hacks from nvidia team, but I'm guessing that is not incoming.)
