comment ubuntu 11, maximum resolution is a low 1024 x 768
i just installed a geforce nvida 6200 video card and it won't go any higher... still stumped on this. If I can't get it to work at a higher resolution I will ditch linux all together

this is ubuntu 11.10, it's a monitor that's about 5 years old, but it runs high resolutions fine in windows xp. I have it hooked up through VGA cable - It's a gateway PC, I got the machine for free when someone else upgraded - I don't know the model number - it's probably 5 years old easy. It has only PCI slots, and one AGP. I would really like to be able to run atleast 1280 x 1024 resolution. I don't mind buying a video card.
