What's wrong with ubuntu? I've just upgraded my 12.04 to 14.04, and my screen resolution went to 1024x768. xorg.conf is nowhere to find. not under /etc, not under /usr/share.

answers about changing screen resolution talk about xrandr and cvt.

Well I can use acronyms too. WTF, this is supposed to be easy to use. Windows has a right click on the desktop for screen resolution. And it lists all of the available reolutions for you. And you don;t loose any on upgrade. And you find howto change the screen resolution everywhere and they are all correct, and they all work.

What;s wrong with ubuntu. Where can I get a straight simple, working answer how to get back my sane screen resolutions?

Download this package and install it with

sudo dpkg -i ResolutionX_1.0-0.deb

The description on the Sourceforge page provides some information about what it does, and the resolutions supported - if your required resolution is included, give it a shot :)

NOTE ResolutionX is a graphical frontend to randr, so if randr doesn't work with your PC, then the above won't, either.

Click on the top right menu (little gears logo) > Settings > Display. From there you'll be able to choose you resolution.
