I have Dell Mini 1010 with GMA 500 chipset. I installed the Ubuntu 12.04 and followed instructions for sorting out distorted display/blank screen.

I am stuck with the 1024x576 screen display now.

The supported resolution for notebook is apparently 1366x768.

I have tried modifying the GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX and GRUB_GFXMODE to 1366x768x32 ( as per wiki) but it is not resolving the issue.

Can you please suggest any alternatives to fix this thing ?

Thanks

A friend of mine had the same problem... here is the link we used to solve it...

Here is th

Using any editor, create a file /etc/grub.d/01_915resolution , add in lines

echo insmod 915resolution
echo 915resolution 58 1366 768 32
Make the file executable

sudo chmod a+x /etc/grub.d/01_915resolution

Next, edit /etc/default/grub, assign value 1366x768x32 to variables GRUB_GFXMODE and GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX:

GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1366x768x32
Then update grub.

sudo update-grub

First off all try to update to the latest kernel (3.5). The new driver should fix you the resolution issue.
