Handling screen resolution problem after installing ubuntu

>> Changing Screen resolution :

Somtime ubuntu does not recognize correct resolution for the screen. But we can always make it up. Execute following steps in order to change screen resolution are you are interested in :

1) Screen resolutions that my screen can adjust to are :
   - 1280x1024
   - 1680x1050

2) Adding a new resolution starts with getting the right configurations for that resolution.
  - (todo: write cvt command here )

3) Execute : xrandr --newmode "1680x1050_60.00"  146.25  1680 1784 1960 2240  1050 1053 1059 1089 -hsync +vsync

This will create a resolution entry in the file

4) Now add the resolution to GUI for changing resolution :

xrandr --addmode VGA-0 1680x1050_60.00

5) There must be an option to change to this resolution in the GUI. Go check and change to that GUI if interested ...
