Setting X.org to a Non-Default Resolution PDF Print E-mail
Do you have a monitor and video card capable of running resolutions higher than 800x600? Perhaps you should take advantage of these resolutions in the X.org window system.

This is probably the simplest procedure in Linux I've ever gone through, right next to booting the system.

For most users, simply go to  a terminal window and enter the following:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

Go through all the settings and when the option for video resolutions comes up, select the highest one your system is capable of. Please note: This doesn't mean the highest one on the list. Selecting a setting that is too high may damage your monitor, so know your hardware before setting this.
