After I used the guide you just made, I still had a resolution of
640x480.
While I was checking the new xorg.conf, I could see that the monitor
settings
were not being used. They were missing the HorizSync and the
VertRefresh settings.
After I added the correct settings for my monitor, and restarted
Ubuntu, Xorg was 1024x768.
So add to your monitor section
Code:
--------------------
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "MyMonitor" #Identifier and Option are already in xorg.conf
Option "DPMS"
HorizSync 30-91 #Add Horizontal Sync in KHz
VertRefresh 50-180 #Add Vertical Refresh in Hz
EndSection
--------------------
BTW, I did enter these HorizSync and VertRefresh in the tool, but they
were not used. man 5 xorg.conf told me that if they are not specified,
they will default to a safe level, only allowing 640x480.
