I purchased a lenovo G550 recently and immediately dumped the Windows OS for Ubuntu 9.10. The display is currently defaulting to 1366x768. From reading it looks as though this display can support both 16:9 and 16:10 aspects. I have ran through the xrandr commands attempting to set my resolution to something...anything bigger than 1366x7768 (I'm used to 1600x1200 from my old T61, so this is painfully small). As a test I am trying to get 1920 1200, from my xrandr results it looks like it should be within the lcd's range. xrandr commands failed on me as I have seen on a couple other intel based resolution problems. I don't fully understand the root of the problem and have not had any luck in my searches. So I have also attempted to manually create the xorg.conf file, not luck yet. Any help will receive 1 million internets from me

Below is my second attempt, with almost all the misc info stripped out.
I've gone out to the intel site to try and verify driver information but require privilege access to get the reference manual which looks like it should have information about supported modes. I have requested access, eta under 2 days.Code:Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName "Monitor Model" HorizSync 24 - 82 VertRefresh 50 - 75 Modeline "1920x1200" 193.25 1920 2056 2256 2592 1200 1203 1209 1245 -hsync +vsync EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Device0" Driver "intel" VendorName "Intel Corporation" BoardName "Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller" BusID "PCI:0:2:0" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Device0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1920x1200" EndSubSection EndSection

Looking over my xorg.conf I notice that the monitor seems to be unknown, not sure if that is relevant, from other posts I tend to think not.
I've been working with this issue on and off for a month now, would be good to know if is even possible given my hardware.
