Maybe should post your xorg.conf file... I don't say there has to be a problem in it, but there could be - just to make sure.

I couldn't tell by your above post if you got the problem fixed or not, but if not..

Follow Redeye's posts in that thread above, it worked perfectly for me...

Hi!
I had the same problem the last year, with a brand new mobo & CPU, INTEL, of course.
This is my section MONITOR:

Section "Monitor"

### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC:
Identifier "SONY CPD-E40"
DisplaySize 370 270
HorizSync 30.0 - 96.0
VertRefresh 48.0 - 120.0
Option "DPMS"
EndSection.

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "NVIDIA Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200]"
Monitor "SONY CPD-E40"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 1
Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
EndSubSection

Look:
Try FIRST, to change the value of your Default Depth and reboot the machine.
If nothing happens, go on, and use your intuition, better yet, try the values matching your monitor's specs.
Don't know if it's important, but I should say that my monitor (dinosaur class/model) was made november/2000, and I am able to use resolutions that exceeds my preferences.
Finally, I have been always installing linux with chips NVIDIA, don't have experience with ATI and the drivers for each one is another point.
I can't guaranteed success, be careful, otherwise, you may loose your monitor.

I all ready try both solutions and did not work what can i do next???

ok
Four questions:
1.- Do we assume that you have my values in your system now?
2.-Do you have high resolutions running windows? which ones?
3.-Where did you get the drivers for your integrated video card?
4.-Do you have configured/optimized your repos to update your system ?

Run this code using sudo
Screen resolution problem solved.

Your welcome!

I already suggested that, he said it didn't work.(How I don't know)

He's probably choosing the wrong options in the xserver reconfigure. I even set my video card to VESA and run 1680x1050 (WXGA+) with no problems.
