current maximum resolution is only 600x400 (in change screen resolution menu). what to do to bring out the option of up to 1440x900. visual effects is already ok, its just that the screen resolution is only that low.:P:popcorn:

have you tried
gnome-display-propertiesThis should allow you to change screen resolutions. or are you saying that the given resolution is your only option?

Check this thread: help please with resolution ibex (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=975452&page=2)

It looks to me like to have to edit the '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' file, adding the desired resolutions to the 'Modes' line on the 'Screen' section.
Maybe even you'll have to add the vertical and horizontal refresh rate for your monitor as well.
