    Xubuntu Screen Resolutions

    I know this is an old thread, but I was following your instructions today and they worked for me when I switched the device driver to VESA. However the quality is pretty shoddy - blocky, blurry pixels.

    I confirmed that the laptop's screen is 1024x768 and 24 bit so I'm not sure what factors might be missing.

    Hi and Welcome !

    Post the contents of xorg.conf file and output of this
    Code:
    sudo lspci | grep -i vga
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Here´s the output:
    01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems CyberBlade XPAi1 (rev 82)

    But I was also able to figure things out. I´ve also attached my xorg.conf below:
    Section "Device"
    Identifier "Configured Video Device"
    EndSection

    Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "Configured Monitor"
    Option "DPMS" "true"
    HorizSync 30.0-60.0
    VertRefresh 50.0-70.0
    EndSection

    Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Default Screen"
    Monitor "Configured Monitor"
    Device "Configured Video Device"
    DefaultDepth 24
    SubSection "Display"
    Depth 24
    Modes "1024x768" "800x600"
    EndSubSection
    EndSection

    So now I´m trying to figure out the touchscreen. Any ideas on that?
