Greetings.

I'm currently using my Toshiba as a "desktop" and have an external monitor connected. Right now the highest resolution Ubuntu will allow (that is correct and not 16:9) is 1152x864, which is an odd res. I'd like to set it to 1280x1024. Is there a way to do this?

xrandr -s 1280x1024 results in something about that resolution option not found.

Here is lspci for the system:

Having the same exact problem on my Aspire One with the same graphics chipset and my external monitor. It should be at 1280x1024 but wont budge past 1152x864!
