View Full Version : [ubuntu] Need help on forcing resolution on monitor

Hello forum,

OK, so the main reason that I haven't been running Ubuntu as much as I would like is because I run a dual monitor set-up with 2 Starlogic 17 inch LCD monitors. These monitors are identical except for one thing, One has a max native res of 1280x1024 and the others is 1024x768. Now Windows XP is the only os I've ever ran that allowed me to put both of them at 1280x1024, (my prefered res) and they work perfect. But this one issue has been the only factor in me not switching to a different OS. Every other OS I run doesn't give me the option to force the res to my prefered setting. Now I've read some on how to fix this but I figured I would ask someone who knew what they were doing before I tried anything. If someone could help me with this, not only would you be helping a person, but you would also be allowing them to become a full-time Ubuntu user!

Thanks!
