Binary package hint: yelp
i'm not able to set the resolution any higher than 800x600. Im using Ubuntu 9.10 with an Nvidia 7300LE PCIe card with a ViewSonic VA1903wb LCD monitor
System info: Linux AMD 2.6.31-17-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 10 17:01:44 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux.
This is a fresh install with updates done.
Then I went into the system > preferences > appearance > visual effects menu, applied the "extra" option, the system searched and auto installed the NVidia driver. It asked to be rebooted, which I did. Now it only runs at 640x480, not even 800x600!!
The Nvidia Xserver settings panel is now installed but it only offers 640x480 or lower.

This bug report was filed against an old version of Ubuntu.
Can you confirm whether this is still an issue in natty?
If you don't mind, it would be very helpful if you could update the bug
report in launchpad to 'Fix Released' if it is no longer an issue for
you, or if it is still occurring under natty, please tag the bug 'natty'
so it's easier for us to track.
