Installed Ubuntu Server 10.04 on an old laptop and I noticed that the system is trying to show the CLI below my screen. This means that if I run a script or a program with a bunch of output, once it is done, I have to press return several times to bring the output to the point where I can actually see it on the screen. I also have to clear the screen to be able to see what I am typing at the current command prompt.

The laptop is an EliteGroup 536S with a native screen resolution of 1024 x 768

How can I adjust the resolution for Ubuntu Server 10.04?

What file do I need to edit if editing a file is the solution?

I've seen posts on how to change the resolution on the desktop version of Ubuntu but not the server version.
