My laptop resolution is 1280x800 pixels. When I use switch to tty pressing ctrl+alt+F2..F5 the resolution comes down to 640x480 (or definitely something much lower than my laptop's native resolution.

My laptop has nvidiga geforce 9300 and I have installed official nvidia driver and it works fine for 3D games and stuff.

I have tried the guide HERE but it didn't affected anything!

Is there a way to fix this (in some config files or something)?

If vbeinfo in grub console or hwinfo --framebuffer (you need to install it: sudo apt-get install hwinfo ) doesn't show the right resolution for your monitor, then follow this tutorial. It is for debian, but it also works on ubuntu.
