Sharaq:
Did everything that you prescribed and I got the resolution to change. Excellent. I also pasted the three commands into the file after opening up a new window with $ sudo gedit /etc/gdm/Init/Default and saved the file. But my settings were gone when I rebooted. Any other ideas?
After trying so many different ways to overcome the resolution problem myself - I got it working a different way: Ill stick it in here to help anyone who is having trouble with sharap's fix
1. open terminal (Applications > Accessories)
2. Typehit enter and type your password (if you are prompted) and enter again.gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
3. Scroll to the bottom of the text that appears and paste
5. open a new terminaldeb http://ppa.launchpad.net/siretart/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/siretart/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
6. type
7. Wait fr the thing to downloadsudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0xce90d8983e731f79
8. New terminal type
9. Again add password if necessarysudo apt-get update
10 type
thatl be yousudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel-2.4
typeto reset ubuntu.sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
When i did it my monitor went crazy and I had to switch off at plug, but then on opening ubuntu again resolution was fine
Hope I helped

Hi,
I've been using Ubuntu for 1 week, having installed 9.10 on an old Toshiba laptop. I have the same screen resolution problem. When I follow the steps in the earlier thread I can create the new mode and add it to the output (default in my case), but when I try to set it I get the following message from xrandr:
- screen cannot be larger than 800x600 (desired size 1024x768 )
Any help would be appreciated.
You can use a script to run at startup if this is not working go to the following link and read posts 13 and 14
