Screen Resolution Sucks

First off, I just installed Ubuntu Linux, and everything's up and running except for my screen resolution. It's set at 640x480 and the menu won't let me change it.

I'm assuming this is because Ubuntu can't recognize my graphics card or driver or something, and I've been on Google for 30 minutes trying to find a way to fix it (preferably without buying a new monitor or deleting Ubuntu.) I also just sort of noticed that these boards are supposed to be support for Windows systems, but I'm hoping someone can point me to a site where I can find and install a driver that will just fix it.

If you need some system info, I can get it to you. Just please try and help.

Re: Screen Resolution Sucks

The problem is not with drivers for your monitor but for your graphics card. To help you find the drivers for Linux, I'll need the brand of the card and manufacturer.

Re: Screen Resolution Sucks

Ok, I hate to ask, but how can I get that information? My first thought would be Device Manager, but that's not giving me any information on graphics cards.

Ok, scratch that.

Intel(R) 82845G/GL Graphics Controller

GPU has code name Brookdale-G, and PCI device 8086 / 2562


Ok, is there any suggestions you can give me with that info?
