Bug Description

In Windows I can reach a resolution of 1360x768, but I just can't make it work in Ubuntu 7.10.

I've tried the command "lspci | grep -i nvidia", and seen the following line:

02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G72 [GeForce 7500 LE] (rev a1)

...but, I still don't get my resolution.

Being a beginner in Ubuntu, I'm not sure if I've done something wrong, or if something is missing/incorrect in the instructions. Could you please check?

TIA and kind regards,

Bert Visscher

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please attach your X server configuration file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.0.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the "Attachment:" box below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf and let Xorg autodetect your display and video card? Please also attach the /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt. Thanks in advance.
