I recently (as in yesterday) installed Ubuntu onto my computer and was playing around with it a bit. However, I'm curious if I can increase my resolution past 1280 by xxxx?
My computer uses 1.5A-load, .8A-idle, .65A-standby, .05A-turned off on 125V. "The spaces between your fingers were created so that another's could fill them in."
Try editing xorg.conf (sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf). Somewhere near the bottom is a section called "Screen" and should have a line of "Modes". Put your resolution on the end of that list and save, then restart X (press CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE) then log back in.
I don't know why it's not detecting your monitor, probably cause it has an odd resolution. It works with my 1280x1024 CRT's and my 1600x1200 laptop just fine.

sry probably gonna sound really dumb but, where do I go in order to edit the xorg.conf file?
You will want to be in the terminal to type in that command. (sudo...)
