Resolution in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS will not go above 800x600.

Asked by John Holmes

Hello,

I recently successfully installed 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on a System76 Serval Professional (a computer designed expressly for running Ubuntu.) It's working well, but I've encountered at least one problem right off the bat--the display. For whatever reason, I can't get it to go above 800x600. I've only really been using the GUI monitor manager for this, to be fair, but it's an annoying problem all the same--my computer's top-end resolution is 1920x1080, and I'd like to take advantage of that as much as possible.

Does it work ok in the Oneiric or Precise liveCDs?

Oneiric install doesn't work at all (a separate problem entirely). Haven't tried with Precise--a little reticent to install an incomplete beta as what is going to be my primary OS.
