Hey there. I know there are tons - TONS - of threads like these, but after 20 mins on Google I just couldn't find anything related to it :S. When I had problems, I've spent hours on Debian or Ubuntu with dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. But that won't do the trick anymore! as pretty much of what I can configure there now is the keyboard :S. The xorg.conf looks quite empty as only a third part of what I used to see is there. Dunno where to look anymore! =( Thing is, it's a Samsung SyncMaster 550v, it should allow 1024x768@60 but the max is 800x600@60 =( I need to configure that computer for 1024 :S as it was on Gutsy (I've just upgraded it - well, clean installed, the alt inst upgrade CD wont work neither: hardy has just given me headaches on all computers so far T_T i miss gutsy at some moments). The Administration > Screens Manager is gone as well, from Gutsy :S All solutions I find are for Gutsy ¬¬ I know how to on gutsy, i just had to edit existing data... Any help? =(
ArtPulse Started on Mandrake, migrated to Debian, switched to Ubuntu Feisty Fawn, upgraded to Gutsy Gibbon, downgraded to Hardy Heron.
Though my solution is non standard, I moved my /etc/X11/xorg.conf to a diff file and killed xserver. when it start xserver again it askes for settings properly. so I was able to configure my lcd settings and driver options properly this time.

I've stopped gdm, moved the file, then started gdm again, yet no dialog nor anything came up :S... might I add: that computer has an integrated graphics card, and a pretty bad one I think xD no restricted drivers to install... Compiz won't work =P that is not important, guess it doesn't has 3D acceleration. But I need to set things to 1024x768@60 =(

dont know if this will help but under add/remove install intell 915 patch and restart the xserver that alowed the higher setting for me with vcrd on motherboard.
Goto recovery mode from grub and type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" at promt, just BS through the options until you get to refresh rate, the best bet is to chose "medium" it displays the display modes.
I... I... am not sure what i've done xD I've added a few lines at xorg.conf after half hour of searching... added the mode "1024x768@60" at two places and it worked o.O lol I still dunno why, after so many people having these problems, they haven't come up with a "force resolution" checkbox, up to the user's risk, for the ones that know what they're doing... it's not my computer so I can't paste the conf file now >.< for those who might have the same problem... sorry... If anyone does, ask, and i'll take the moment to do so xP. PM me, whatever. anyways, thanks everyone!! =P
Apparrently the xorg method doesn't work in Hardy... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=929963
