I recently install the new Ubuntu on a new box I just built. I had an old monitor and used it not really knowing its capabilities. After Ubuntu was installed, my default screen resolution is 640x480. If I go into <System><Preferences><Screen Resolution> the only option I am given is 640x480. So, I figured that the old monitor I was using only supported up to 640x480 resolution and that Ubuntu was using the highest available resolution. Then I booted up off the CD and the screen resolution was 1280x1024. Now I know that the monitor indeed supports this higher resolution.

How do I change my default settings to the higher screen resolution? I am NOT given the option in the <System><Preferences><Screen Resolution> dialog so I must change it elsewhere.

Thanks,

-Andres
