1280*960 screen resolution

Asked by Kim Pu-chong

Ubuntu 7.10
CRT monitor lg t910b

It won't change the desired screen resolution 1280*960
I reconfigured the xorg.conf and selected the resolution but it does not appear in the resolution change list. what can I do.... I did nearly everything. I must use that resolution for image editing. 1280*1024 is weired resolution where a perfect circle looks like a bit egg.

here is my xorg.conf

I think you can manually add that resolution. I remember I had a problem similar to this back when widescreens were not supported at all. See what happens if you just add it to the end of the Modes section.

Can you help with this problem?
