* Clock speed
* 1.73 GHz

* Graphics processor
* Intel GMA 900

and here is my xorg.conf file:

i would love to get my resolution to 1280x800, but it's stuck at 1024x768@60hz

Hey Recluse,

Everything Looks fine, execept for the section:monitor paragraph Delete it entirely and insert this:

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
HorizSync 28.0 - 110.0
VertRefresh 43.0 - 90.0
Modeline "1280x800" 80.58 1280 1344 1480 1680 800 801 804 827
Option "DPMS"
EndSection

repeat for all the Depths you have 1,4,8,15,16,24...whatever. (you have done this) if it doesn't work delete all depth settings bar 24 (as the defult depth is set @ 24)

Save file, by pressing Key combo, CTRL+ALT+F1 Reboot the computer. When it comes back up you should see your new lovely screen.

all it did was give me the option to change to 800x600 and 640x480

am i making the mistake by trying to change it through the screen resolution option in gnome?

You might need to edit it Manually,

To access it open a terminal as root and type
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and put that code in I typed above

if the HorizSync, VertRefresh looks bad try replaceing with the code below

HorizSync 28-64 VertRefresh 43-60

remember to save the original xorg.conf file to do a rollback if needbe
