This one works for both ubuntu 9.04, 9.10 and kubuntu 9.04, 9.10.
I'm having Nvidia FX 5500 Graphic card.
I will tell you how to configure it to 1024x768 display.
1)Version Of Ubuntu: ubuntu version 9.04,9.10 and kubuntu 9.04, 9.10.
2)Type Of Hardware: Graphic card
3)Hardware Maker: Nvidia
4)Hardware Model: FX 5500
I will tell you in a detailed way.
After installation of ubuntu open
System-> Administration-> Hardware drivers
You will find two drivers to install.
NVIDIA accelerated graphic drivers(Version 173)[Recommended]
NVIDIA accelerated graphic drivers(Version 96)
Select version 96 and activate it. It takes some time to download, install, get activated and asks for reboot.
Reboot your system...
After rebooting it, it sets 640x480 display.
Open terminal
Applications-> Accessories-> Terminal
In terminal type
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
enter your password for authentication and open it.
In this file you will find data like this.

Reboot your system. You will get 1024x768 display in login page.
If you did not get 1024x768 display
Go to
System-> preferences-> Display
and you will get a window asking...
It appears that your graphics driver does not support the necessary extensions to use this tool. Do you want to use your graphics driver vendor's tool instead?
Enter [No]
You can set your resolution there to 1024x768
__________________________________________________ ____________
Other way to set resolution is
Go to
System-> Administration-> NVIDIA X Server Settings
Go to X Server Display configuration
Find resolution and set 1024x768.
Try to set in display only, if you set in NVIDIA X Server Settings you have to set every time when you reboot.
