    Hello,

    I have the same problem as everyone else, which is I want the screen res to be 1280x800 but all the methods of editing have failed, is there any chance an Ubuntu user could paste the config file, that would be great,

    Neil

    Anyone? All you have to do is paste the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, it would be much appreciated.

    Thank you,

    Neil

    in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, change following lines:

    SubSection "Display"
    Depth 24
    Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection

    to

    SubSection "Display"
    Depth 24
    Modes "1280x800" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection

    and restart your x-session. Of course, I'm assuming your running the x-server in 24 bit depth mode.
