Screen Resloution Issue

[Patrick Newberry]

I was running 10.4 and was planning on trying out 11.04.

Looked a found I needed to to to 10.10 first so I did so last night. When that was completed the only resolution available to me was 640 x 480.

I figured what the heck, and was going to 11.04 anyway, but when I try to run the update manager I can't see the bottom of the window. I tried guessing by using the tab button and pressing enter and once it seemed like I had selected update (after it had calculated the upgrade) but then it just crashed or stopped.

I installed the ARandR screen Layout  Editor but it too only shows the one resolution.

So is there a terminal method to do the upgrade with the gui of the update manager (e.g. after typing in apt-get upgrade since I can see the bottom of the update manager.

Or is there a way to get other resolutions available to me?

I ran these and got my specs for the  monitor:
sudo apt-get install hwinfo
sudo hwinfo --monitor

(actually it showed it twice)

When I looked in ect/X11 folder, I do not see a xorg.config file.

I see Xwrapper.config

So what would be the best next step in trying to get to 11.04
