How can xorg configure in 10.04?

[strawberry]

Came from 8.04, fresh install. The monitor was not detected properly, I have 1024x768 max resolution on a 1280x1024 screen. As 10.04's xorg has no xorg.conf file, I cannot tell it the right data. What and where are the new config files please?

What video card/chip do you have:


lspci | grep VGA

Hi,
nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 MX 440] (rev a3)
It has solved yet. I copied the xorg.conf from the backupped 8.04 system to the new 10.04.
I know it shouldn't be the proper solution.

The newer Ubuntu versions do not require an xorg.conf file. If the system does not have one then the X server looks at the hardware and makes its best guess for setting things up.

If your system does have an xorg.conf file then the X server will read it so you should be able to use the file that used to work for you.
