    Ubuntu not detecting higher resolution!!

    I checked displays and it shows 1024*768 maximum resolution. But in windows I have used 1280*1024 resolution. I have googled lot. But can not find permanent solution. Thanks.

    What are your hardware specs and what version of Ubuntu are you running?

    The outputs of

    Code:
    lspci
    and

    Code:
    xrandr
    would also be helpful. As well as

    Code:
    lsmod
