I have it set up and running Ubuntu 8.10 but....
The desktop size is only about 8x6". Even in full screen, the window is big but the desktop stays the same. In Ubuntu display properties the only resolutions available are 800x600 and 680x400 and I cannot find settings to change this. Any help from our linux-folk-in-residence?

If I'd had that years ago I would have persisted with Linux. Many thanks.
