Strange I had an Onboard 6150 and it auto detected the resolutions upto 1024x768. I dont use anything more than that so I didnt bother with checking whether I should correct it.

Im guessing you are going to have to edit Xorg.conf to get the correct resolutions in there but Im not experienced enough to do that.

Which version of Ubuntu you are using ?????

 

[praka123]

edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf section "screen" and select only the needed resolution as below for eg:i chose 800x600 for 15" monitor.if u want 1024x768,add as below or for any needed resolution which ur monitor supports .

Section "Screen"
	Identifier	_____________
	Device          ________________
	Monitor		____________________
	DefaultDepth	24
	SubSection "Display"
[b][u]Modes	"1024x768" "800x600"[/b][/u]
	EndSubSection
