Hello Tracy,
Thanks for your suggestions...we sorted it out off-list, it happened to be the driver of the wired SIS card...(ok Benjamin not wired but strange...:) ) but as soon as we got the driver. Everything worked like magic.
Cheers

Hello Benjamin and Oluwaseun,
if I remember Since version 9.04 or 9.10 of Ubuntu, the Xorg don't create the default xorg.org .
Just relaxe , take a cup of milk and create an empty /etc/X11/xorg.conf and copy this in side using your favorite editor ( vi in my vase, gnome-edit , joe or vim can make it right !!).

Dear All,
I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop. Everything worked except the monitor display which defaulted to 800x600 (not good). I need something like 1280x800
After searching google, and trying all suggested comments
"http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/", it still did not work
I have attached my dmesg file so that someone with an idea on how to fix this could help.
Best regards,
Benjamin
