Resolution stays at 800x600 in Kubuntu

[Steve Cookson]

Hi Dennis,
 
I have K10.04 seeing a 21" 1920x1080 screen and several other (lesser)
resolutions.  You shouldn't have to do anything, it should just detect it,
but there is screen resolution setting programme under system setup (I think
it's called that, I don't have my PC set to English at the moment).
 
If you don't have the right driver or patches, it may not work.
 
I had a new Gigabyte motherboard with K10.04 LTS and because the hardware
was newer than the operating system it didn't detect all the settings.
 
If that is your problem, then upgrade your Kubuntu to 11.04 or 11.10 and it
should detect everything.
 
Good luck.
 
Regards
 
Steve

Why can Kubuntu only see 800x600 while Windows saw higher resolutions?
It looks that you have to be a computer programmer to change the resolution.
Itś defently no great future from Linux that its so diffucult to change a
resolution!
I think that i trow Kubutu away if its so difficult to change a simple
resolution from a videocard.
If someone have tips that stood not on google that please tell me how i can
better resolotions than the stupid 800x600.
