back in ubuntu 9, maximum resolution supported was 960x600, by editing xorg.conf i was able to get 1024x768 resolution. i recently installed ubuntu 11.10.. now again maximum resolution i can get in display panel is 960x600 .. i tried editing xorg but there was no xorg and when i tried to create one access was denied.
I'm new to linux commands so, step by step help will be appreciated.
I added /etc/X11/xorg.conf
