The extreme low resolution indicates a driver problem. What driver
exactly are you using? The output you're seeing from xdpyinfo would
help... as would your Ubuntu version.

The screen resolution is a different issue from setting the DPI. as I
said above, If you're having issues with a really low resolution, then
the issue is likely your driver. let us know what driver you'r using,
then we'll be able to help more.

Hope that helps!
