My screen resolution is stuck at 640X480. I know it can go to 1200X1000 because I have done it before on ubuntu. I just reinstalled it on to my computer

You'd get a lot further if you provided some pertinent info.

Post the output of these commands please:

uname -a

lsb_release -a

sudo lshw -C display

lspci

And the contents of this file:

gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Run these commands in a terminal. Look in Applications menu under Accessories.

I see this is marked solved - it's fixed then? How did you do it, if you don't mind me asking?
