use "915resolution"
you can search ubuntu wiki for more information on your specific system but I think it would work for a wide variety of Systems.

open a console and type this
    sudo apt-get install 915resolution

after entering the password write

sudo gedit /etc/default/915resolution

change the file to seem like this:

mode=3c
XRESO=1280
YRESO=800
BIT=32

and after a restart your desktop resolution should be 1280 * 800.

I mentioned this from the linlap.com ( linked above )

Try Going to System-> Administration--> Restricted Drivers Manager. Enable any drivers that have to do with your video card, then restart and try to change the rez.

Can you help with this problem?
