laptop 1024x768 mode know can do.

so......there no xorg.conf file me tinker can resolution 800x600 1024x768?
use reconfigure x resolution up? laptop uses onboard card, not nvidea or ati, maybe intel or generic.
laptop can it, not in options under display options.
used manually edit xorg.conf needed.

tried making own even, without success.
went on ubuntu , did reading, trying out xrandr , lxrandr, cant seam coax laptopinto recognising can 1024x768.



output of xrandr:

code:
