After installin Xubuntu onto my old IBM thinkpad 600, I was restricted to 800x600 resolution.
What I'm not doing:
Phoning Robin! (just yet)
I checked out the config file for all hardware on the sytem. this file is located in /etc/x11/xorg.conf
Im checking 2 things. First that under 'modes' for the screen section of the file that 1024x768 is listed. This should look something like this:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "Neomagic Corporation NM2160 [MagicGraph 128XD]"
Monitor "Generic Monitor"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Modes "1024x768"
EndSubSection
EndSection
The next thing your checking is that the DefaultDepth is 16 (probably 24 as default). This needs to be changed to 16bit to enable the higher res.
Save your changes and reboot. Problem solved!
