I picked up an ASUS EEE 1101HA with Windows 7 and installed UBUNTU 10.04 Netbook Remix (dual boot).

Ubuntu runs fine, but it doesn't recognize that the notebook LCD is 1388x768 and thus only offers 1024x768 and 800x600 as monitor resolution.

So .. how can I tell it about that higher resolution?

(Have root pwd & vi, una-bash-ed to use both.. )

UPDATE

there is currently (early May 2010) no video-driver for the Intel GMA500 "Poulsbo"
=> no solution exists for now.
