I have the same laptop model and both Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex and Jaunty can't detect my maximum resolution of the laptop screen which is 1400x1050. The only modes i have to choose from are - 640x480,800x600 and 1024x768 and the funny thing is that on older versions of
Ubuntu (Feisty Fawn and Hardy) I could fix it by changing xorg.conf to:

I now use Ubuntu Jaunty and i tried changing my xorg.conf to:

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

and it doesn't helps me either.

This is my xrandr command output :
