Unhappy Dell Monitor Issues


I have an old Dell CRT monitor and the resolution is HUGE. I have tried going to System > Preferences > Display to change the resolution but it shows 640x480 as the only resolution. I have had Ubuntu before and never had this issue. I am running on integrated graphics. Is there a way to fix this?

Maybe, but since you don't provide details, who can tell?

What kind of integrated graphics? Memory? What model/size monitor? All we know right now is you've got some version of Linux (you say you HAD ubuntu before..), running some kind of old Dell monitor, hooked up to your computer.
