Ubuntu 10.04: Toshiba Portege 7140CT VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems Cyber 9540 (rev 52) how to increase screen resolution

Asked by Alex Packov

After initial install max monitor resolution is 800x600 when my monitor and graphic card is capable of 1024x720

I need to increase Monitor resolution to 1024x720 but only available options are up to 800x600. Laptop on which I am installing (Toshiba Portege 7140CT) is fairly old but still capable of 1024x720.
Could yuo please let me know what should I change to get higher resolution.
