    please post your xorg (sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf) and I'll take a look at it, you definitely should have more options than that....but, 1920 x 1200 is ideal if you can support it

    Considering the vast amounts of ways one can screw up Ubuntu, I'd suggest you be a bit more specific and state the nature of the screwup, and any actions leading to it.
