screen resolution issue

[kennm]

Hello. I need help solving a resolution problem with FeistyFawn on a Dell Inspiron B130 laptop. The only resolution option at System->Preferences->Screen Resolution is 1064x768. I was going to try editing xorg.conf -- I'd read somewhere that that could solve my problem -- but the only resolution I see listed there is 1280x800, which is what I really want anyway. What am I doing wrong?

Check out this wiki entry: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
I suggest you follow the first part, "Run the Autodetect Script Again".

Good luck, and if you have any other issues just post or come in IRC :)

I'm using a Dell Inspiron 1300 and I installed 915resolution from the synaptic package manager. It fixed my screen resolution. Before installing it, everything on the screen was squashed somewhat and distorted, because it could not display the prefered resolution. After installing it, all has been great.

Good to hear its now fixed, lets hope these posts help other people too.

Dell Inspiron e1505 here and 915resolution install from Synaptic fixed the same problem for me. Everything looks much better.
