From a mailinglist re FOSS:
Nothing more frustrating than installing a new OS, only to find that it
is not working as expected. Hey, it happens. In a recent instance, a
Lockergnome reader had installed Ubuntu onto his Acer Aspire 4520. As
luck would have it, the default resolution is ridiculously at something
like 640*480 - obviously not usable. He is shooting for a resolution of
1280*720. Clearly, he has a ways to go.
Now there are a number of ways of fixing this. Assuming the specs I
found on the computer are right, that it is using an integrated NVIDIA
video chipset, one could likely use the restricted driver manager to
gain a driver that is going to provide *vastly* better resolution
options than the default NV driver.
Being as I have never had anything but trouble with the restricted
driver manager, I have always used the Envy tool on Ubuntu PCs…even
before there was a restricted driver manager. While your mileage may
vary, it has yet to fail me on roughly seven different NVIDIA cards.
Once you follow the instructions carefully, rebooted, etc, then you are
ready to see if the resolution has corrected itself. Chances are pretty
good that you will end up with something like 1280*XXX after your
installation and reboot. If not, open a terminal, type in gksudo
nvidia-settings and carefully correct the resolution.
