I just bought an Acer X183HB monitor to use with my Dell Vostro A90 (business version of Mini 9) running Ubuntu 9.04.

Upon plugging it in, Ubuntu recognized the monitor. I sent the output to it via going to the "Display" applet and turning it on. I logged out and back in again as the applet recommended. Upon logging back in, the Acer was at 1024x768, and the netbook's display was at 800x600 (two black bars on either side of the screen). The Acer's resolution should be 1366x768, and the Vostro's should be 1024x600. Rebooting did not help, and I messed up my xorg.conf file while trying to get it to work.

I know how to get the xorg.conf file back in shape. My question is, how to I get this display to work with my Vostro A90 under Ubuntu 9.04?
