Hello, I reinstalled ubuntu last night and now I can not get my resolution right. It only gives me two low options like 640x480 and 800x600 or something like that. I need 1200x700 more or less. Is there a way to correct this without having to reinstall again?

What graphic card do you have and have you looked in System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers to see if there is a driver for your graphic card?

How do I tell what graphics card I have? Also, I went to System - Admin - hardware drivers and it says that there are no proprietary drivers in use on my system. There is nothing there?

Sounds like you have one of those Intel onboard graphic controllers.

I guess this is my graphics card?
