i am using ubuntu 5.04. My default resolution is 640X480 at 60Hz. I tried to change the resolution with the command "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" i choose i810 server and set my resolution to 1200X768 at 70Hz, but it is not working. I am also having Debian linux with Xfree86 i am able to change the resolution in it. some one help me

1200X768??? Try with 1024X768

You should also ensure that your monitor supports that resolution and refresh rate.

I'm having the same problem in that I can't change my resolution beyond 640x480. On exactly the same computer (swappable hard drives) I have no problems with Windows displaying at 1024x768. I've been told to change the horizontal and vertical refresh rates for my monitor, but it's an old one which was given to me and I have no manual.

It's a shame that I can't change the resolution as it's really spoiling my enjoyment of a nice product.
