Hello Wen,

at first, I'm no longer member of this list, I unsubscribed a few days
ago. But by the way, displaysettings in unbuntu are difficult.

The best way to solve your problem is to install an old ubuntu-version
like 7.04. After the system is up with good displayfunctions, save the
actual <xorg.conf>. Then remove this installation and copy <xorg.conf>
into your actual system.

I've spend a lot of time to bring up my old thinkpad i1200 to featured
resolution.
Any help from the userlist doesn't solve the problem.

Please let me know, if my idea solves your problem.

Wish you to have a nice sunday and stand by 


with greetings


hannah
