cant find the right screen resolution at display preferences after installing ubunto version 9.04

[Yorhoshi]

When i try to change the display preferences (after i installed 9.04 version) i can not find the right resolution. it seems to be missing some resolution sizes... the only size that gives a full screen: 1024:768 4:3, i have got a 12" wide-screen so it should be a high resolution 16:10??

We're closing this bug since it is has been some time with no response from the original reporter. However, if the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information. Also, if you could, please test against the latest development version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help.

Hi there,

After installing Ubuntu9.04 by Cd the problem was solved.

@Larry, did you run a upgrade of ubunto to 9.10? (while installing you get a message that programs are listened as useless and can be removed, if you accepted the removal you'll get the problem with screen resolution?)

you might try installing the last version again by a disc or usb stick, and then upgrade (and not remove the programs that are marked as not needed)
