[SOLVED] Ubuntu: Fixing messed up screen resolution

If you messed up with your display resolution try this:

To configure the monitor and display adapter, you need to re-configure
your Xorg server. To do that, first backup your xorg.conf file by
executing the following command:

   # sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup

then, stop X by executing the following command (this will put you to
text only mode):

   # sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop

You can do the whole X configuration process by executing:

   # sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

Once you have re-configured Xorg,  start GNOME again by executing this
command:

   # sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
