If you obtained Ubuntu with Gnome, use CTRL+ALT+T to open a terminal and execute sudo gnome-control-center
and click on the Monitor button. Here, if Xorg.conf is well written and you have the correct drivers, you will be able to change your resolution.
(the password for sudo is your account password; if it doesn't work try su
directly but direct root access is, in general, disabled). Good luck.

I exprect an upvote man (follow your coscience :) ) From a terminal:
dconf write /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/xrandr/active true
and if it still doesn't function usexrandr
from the console or install arandr withsudo apt-get install arandr
(after that execute it as root from the console withsudo arandr
). Oct 8, 2013 at 15:43
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1024x768
