   A Google search about 1400x1050 or intel 82855 and Linux gives a lot of   
   matches, most of them being some kind of Swahili for the passenger freshly   
   debarked from Redmond to Ubuntu airport, there are tared roads around the   
   jungle here...   
      
   Here is how I got it my way to get full resolution out of your notebook   
   with Intel graphics and 1400x1050 LCD panels (Dell, Fujitsu, ...). (Yes   
   you can get it over the console, but here's my way...)   
      
   First of all, if you have *a less capable* second monitor connected to   
   your laptop, disconnect it, since XOrg will not give you more than the   
   less capable connected monitor can.   
      
   1)From the K Menu (Start) choose System --> Adept package manager.   
      
   2) If you see a package named "915resolution" go to 4)   
      
   3) You have to get the "universe" repository first: Go to Adept --> manage   
   repositories. The line http://**.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy universe   
   is greyed, right-click on it, choose enable. Fetch updates.   
      
   4) Click on "915resolution" select "request install" then "apply changes".   
      
   5) From System Settings --> Monitor and Display select your 1440x1050   
   resolution, Apply.   
      
   6) Log out --> End current Session from the Login screen, select the icon   
   at the left and choose "Restart X Server"    
   (you may have restarted the full OS as well, this is faster)   
      
   7) Enjoy your new real estate in Ubuntuland!   
      
   (**= your language, else EN)   
   P.S. this assumes that your monitor has been correctly recognized (it   
   should), else set it up in System Settings --> Monitor and Display before   
   restarting.
