What did you try that's not working? Be specific. Did you take a look at this thread?

go to the part where all hardware is listed and CHOOSE the CORRECT graphic card. after that, you will be able to change the resolution. It is most probably that Ubuntu didn't recognize your graphic card.

Read the whole thread.

Do u think i would have reached that thread without reading the
whole thread ??

Maybe u did not read the whole thread... check the link i posted and check what i requested. Why are you directing me to other forums, when i want to be on http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ this forum ??

PS: no hard feelings

Cause that's an Ubuntu specific forum and it makes no sense to repeat everything if a simple link can do the same.

Anyway, post the output from

less /etc/X11/xorg.conf
