Setting the right resolution for your Ubuntu 8.04 - Take 2

My first post about solving the resolution problem of Ubuntu 8.04 in my computer did solved it for a little while but after my reboot the problem unfortunately came back. And by the way, my monitor, keyboard and mouse where not really directly connected into my Ubuntu machine, I am using a KVM switch since I don't use my Ubuntu box much often, I need to switch to my other machine running on a different Operating System.

I did another googling and found this solution:

1. Open the terminal application and execute this command:
   $ sudo displayconfig-gtk
   Then provide your super user/root password.


2. A Screen and Graphics Preferences window will pop-up.
   This time my problem was that I am using a ViewSonic LCD monitor but its model does not exist under its list of known ViewSonic model. What I did was, I set the Manufacturer to Generic then for the Model I set it to LCD Panel 1280x1024 then click OK.
   

And so thats it, it solved my problem. Hope this will solve your problem this time too.
