Today I've temporarily loaded Windows 2000 on this HP Brio.

Initially it came up in 1280x768, which looked rather naff, though
readable.  No updates needed, just Control Panel, Display, Settings and
one of the choices was 1280x1024 8-bit colour.  This worked.  It worked
very well indeed, it's beautiful and exceedingly enviable.  Nobody who
has seen this on Windows would settle for less on Ubuntu.  :(

How do I gather info from this Windows installation so as to create good
settings to try in Ubuntu?

Or, now that I know for certain that there is no hardware problem,
what's the best way forward?  The workaround I've given above gets it to
1024x768, but it could be so much better at the native resolution.
