I posted a thread in the Ubuntu Forum (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi....php?t=533469), however, I am wondering if this is a better forum for this topic. I have spent several days trying to get at least 1280x1024 on my laptop, or at least externally on my Dell 1905 LCD. I have ran 915resolution, modified the xorg.conf file, ran reconfig x-server, change the default/915resolution file, etc, etc...

I hoping maybe a new fresh set of eyes may point me in the right direction. I have googled as many articles as I could find, and still can not see what the issue is. I tried of this fuzzy 1024X768 resolution.

Sam, As members have been trying to explain to you for about 2 weeks your Integrated video may not be capable of your desired resolution. Which Video drivers; nVid, or ATI did you load?
It does not appear that you have the Dedicated ATI card, just i915GM, not i915PM.
It probably is, as many replies thought you were referring to a Desktop.
btw, It might help to update your profile (Add Signature w/ Hardware details). I may be wrong about your laptop, as I am still new to using Linux (NO programming exp!) which you seem vary familiar with already, but do understand HW a bit.
Just a thought; Could you get desired resolution on Ext Monitor with any M$ Win OS? GL d8d
