Ubuntu Resolution settings
I just installed ubuntu on a pc, but it doesn't have an option for me to change my resolution to 1024x768, the highest is 800x600, do you have a solution for this problem?

Thanks

Yes.

Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Take the matter into your own hand. Why dictated by the limitation of the Desktop?

Or, if possible, try using proprietary video drivers for your video adapter.
