Ubuntu Screen Res Issues

[Mark Menzies]

I have my laptop running at 1024x768 and my monitor (when docked) can 
run at 1280x1024.

The graphics on my laptop is :
Intel 82852/82855GM/GME Graphics controller

But when the laptop is docked, I cannot have a higher res than 
1024x768.  Even if I have to manually change the res every time I dock 
and undock it I will do that, but at the moment, I don`t even have that 
option.

Can anyone help?

Ta.

Kind regards
