Ubuntu – Why can’t I get the right screen resolution in Ubuntu

resolutionubuntu-10.04

My screen resolution in windows and previous version of ubuntu (9.04) was 1152 x 864.

But in Ubuntu 10.04 it gives me an option of 1024 x 786 and 1360 x 786, how can I change it to 1152 x 864 ?

Is there any way I can change my screen resolution to 1152 x 864 ?

Thanks.

Edit : I am sorry I forgot to mention my graphic card details.
It's Intel(R) 82945G Express Chipset Family.

Edit 1 : This is what I have tried according to Matan Eldan.

searock@searock-desktop:~$ cvt 1152
864

1152×864 59.96 Hz (CVT 1.00M3) hsync:
53.78 kHz; pclk: 81.75 MHz Modeline "1152x864_60.00" 81.75 1152 1216
1336 1520 864 867 871 897 -hsync
+vsync

searock@searock-desktop:~$ xrandr
–newmode "1152x864_60.00" 81.75 1152 1216 1336 1520 864 867 871 897
-hsync +vsync

searock@searock-desktop:~$ xrandr
–addmode S-video 1152×864
xrandr: cannot find output "S-video"

Then I tried executing xrandr command and it displays the resolution but I think I can't add it to the output.

searock@searock-desktop:~$ xrandr

Edit 2 : Thanks to Matan Eldan and Lord.Quackstar, my problem is solved.
This is what I have tried.

Best Answer

Due to buggy hardware or drivers, your monitor's correct resolutions may not always be detected. For example, the EDID data block queried from your monitor may be incorrect.

If the mode already exists, but just isn't associated for the particular output, you can add it like this:

$ xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600

If the mode doesn't yet exist, you'll need to create it first by specifying a modeline:

$ xrandr --newmode

You may create a modeline using the gtf or cvt utility. For example, if you want to add a mode with resolution 800x600, you can enter the following command: (The output is shown following.)

$ cvt 800 600 # 800x600 59.86 Hz (CVT 0.48M3) hsync: 37.35 kHz; pclk: 38.25 MHz Modeline "800x600_60.00" 38.25 800 832 912 1024 600 603 607 624 -hsync +vsync

Then copy the information after the word "Modeline" into the xrandr command:

$ xrandr --newmode "800x600_60.00"
38.25 800 832 912 1024 600 603 607 624 -hsync +vsync

After the mode is entered, it needs to be added to the output using the --addmode command as explained above.
