    screen resolution problem

    As a newbie I am trying to use kbuntu 9.04 on my AMD64 computer with built in Nvidia 7050 display.
    I can only get 640x480 or 800x600 screen resolution that does not suit my 22" Supermatch monitor.
    I have tried numerous xrandr instructions but cannot make any progress please help in simple language.
