10.10: Screen resolution

Asked by peter

Hi

I have a screen resolution of 1025 * 768. But I prefer a higher one. But only 1025 * 768 is possible. The monitor is unknown.

How can I increase the screen resolution? Thanks in advance.
Peter

You need first to get available screen resolutions from your screen documentation (I presume you have a CRT screen).

The screen has a horizontal scan frequency of 30-155 KHz, while the optimum refresh rates cover 640 x 480 hertz, 800 x 600 hertz, 1024 x 768 Hz, 1280 x 1024 Hz, 1600 x 1200 Hz and 1600 x 1280 Hz.
Could you paste in http://paste.ubuntu.com the file /etc/xorg.conf ?
I think after the best is asking help to https://launchpad.net/~andrew-woodhead666 which know better than me how to edit such a file.

I don't have a file called /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I had this file in 8.04, but I don't have it anymore.
