    Question My screen (Samsung SyncMaster 923nw) is not properly recognized in Ubuntu

    I've searched the forum, but couldn't find the answer, so here's my question.
    I installed Ubuntu 9.04 on my PC.
    I installed the drivers for my graphics card, an Nvidia Geforce2 MX 100/200, but there's a problem. My screen, Samsung SyncMaster 923nw, is not properly recognized by Ubuntu and will only work in 640x480 with or without the Nvidia driver.
    In Windows XP, I always used 1280x960 without any problems, and i want that same resolution in Ubuntu.
    Does anyone know a solution for this problem? Thanks in advance!

    My PC:
    - Processor: Intel Pentium 4 2.8GHZ
    - Memory: 1 GB
    - Graphics: Nvidia Geforce2 MX 100/200
    - Screen: Samsung SyncMaster 923nw

    I have exactly the same problem since today after installing a new LCD-monitor.

    Ubuntu 9.04
    Graphics: NVIDIA Geforce FX5200
    Screen: Philips 190CW9

    What's the cure?
