    Exclamation Screen Resolution Issue

    I have an Acer 19" Wide Monitor X193W

    It defaults to a screen resolution of 1440x900

    Every time i try and change the resolution the screen just runs from side to side and i am unable to set it back without rebooting the machine
    When I run lspci I get the following:

    Can anyone tell me how to install the correct display drivers or if you have any ideas/suggestions that might help in any way?

    According to a post in this first link, you should file a bug report, and it looks like someone has done that for your monitor in the second link.
