Stuck in 800x600 Resolution on a 1024x768 Monitor on Ibex

Well, the title says it all. I got it working on Debian, but Ubuntu comes with more recent packages, so I put it on.
Problem though. My computer is stuck at a 800x600 resolution. I tried

Code:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

which is how I got it working on Debian. But Ubuntu doesn't recognise my graphics card or monitor like Debian did.
Any solutions?

Open /etc/X11/xorg.conf an find the lines which says:

Code:

SubSection "Display"
		Depth		24
		Modes		"1024x768" "800x600"
	EndSubSection

Make sure the "1024x768" is in there. I am assuming you are using 24 bit depth.

No, no, that just made it worse. Any other ideas?
Shoulda kept my xorg.conf from Debian D=

Post you're xorg.conf here alog with the output of lspci. You could try the Vesa driver also.

Code:

Driver	"vesa"

xorg.conf:

This is you're video card. Check this guide to install the nVidia driver:

Ubuntu did that for me already, and got me stuck in 640x480. So, no. Doesn't work.
