Desktop resolution to low
I have an ubuntu 8.04 system setup and the desktop resolution option maxes out at 800x600. I'd prefer to use the video card's max of 1024x768 for obvious reasons. It used to be that you modified the xorg.conf file but mine is very sparse and I'm confused.
Anyone willing to explain to me how to change this?
Here is the relevant information that I could think of:
I am having trouble determining (i'm 90 miles away from PC)
if the MBoard is an asus a8v-mx or an a8v-vmse motherboard
The onboard graphics controller in both cases is:
S3 Graphics UniChrome Pro IGP
My xorg.conf contents is as follows:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
EndSection
Let me know if there is more information I can provide. Also if someone can tell me the easiest way to figure out hardware information in ubuntu that'd be great, i've been tring to use /proc but it seems fairly sparse these days.
