Screen resolution problem on Dell 410N XPS

Good day to you all, I just received my new Dell XPS 410N system yesterday with Ubuntu desktop ed. It is a duo core, 2gb ram, 250hd, and an nVidia GeFore 7300 LE 256mg video card. I also have the 24" widescreen monitor. The best resolution I can get is 1024x768. I want to get the 1280x800 (or 768), but the option is not there. Everything is really wide and not proportional. I installed all the latest updates and patches. I am a newbie to Ubuntu and I could really use the help so I can get a better resolution that is easy to read. Thank you for your help. -aw

    you need to edit your xorg.conf file to allow it to support a higher resolution. I believe Ubuntu Forums will give you better support than Dell forums. Here is a thread for your problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973
