Re: Is Ubuntu's default resolution 1024x768?
Your problem may be that Ubuntu simply doesn't know what resolution your television supports.
Most modern computer monitors have a function called EDID which allows the operating system to "ask" the monitor what resolution/refresh rate(s) are supported. That's why I was able to, only a few days ago, unplug a monitor running at 1280x1024 & plug in a monitor running at 1440x900 and have the system come up running perfectly at the new resolution without any tweaking at all.
Your television, however, probably does not have EDID and so you may have to manually set up the resolution in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
If I have an apple & I give it to you, still only one of us has an apple. But if I know how to do something & show you how to do it, we both now possess that knowledge. This is the community of GNU/Linux.
