I own a 2004-vintage Intel P4, 512MB ram, 40GB hard drive machine. I switched it to Ubuntu around a year back when I first started using Ubuntu. At the time, I was using a regular CRT monitor and when I installed Ubuntu it set the resolution to 800x600. After some tinkering I managed to get it to 1024x768 (unfortunately I now forget how I managed that). However, a few months later I had to relocate my office, and in the course of shifting the CRT VGA monitor, it met its end. As a replacement I bought an Acer 15 inches x153W LCD monitor.<br><br>The trouble is that now Ubuntu does not allow me to change or set the resolution any higher than the 1024x768. I know the monitor is capable of handling 1280x1024, but I have been unable to figure out how to get it to perform at this level. In the mean time, I also upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10 - everything on the system works fantastically well except for the inability to reset the monitor resolution to my liking.<br><br>Could someone please help? Thanks in anticipation!<br><br><br>Regards,<br>Dhruv<br><br>+91-9820778755<br>dhruvtanwar@yahoo.com<br><div><br></div>  </div><br> <hr size=1></hr> The INTERNET now has a personality.
