grandr is on 9.04.01 and wasn't able to set my laptop's 800x600 resolution. I had to use xorg.conf. (Had the same problem with other 'buntus on that box.)

Try running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" to get a xorg.conf file.

I don't have any xorg.conf file on a default #! 10 install... is there somewhere else this could be, or should i create my own?

You can try putting it into /etc/X11/xorg.conf
For example, to get a laptop's 800x600 resolution recognised, I replaced the Section "Screen" part with this:

Section "Screen"
    Identifier    "Default Screen"
    Monitor        "Configured Monitor"
    Device        "Configured Video Device"
    DefaultDepth    16
    SubSection "Display"
        Modes        "800x600"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Change the Modes bit to your requirements, and omit the DefaultDepth line unless you want to save some system resources (it's the colour depth).

My graphics card currently isn't using its appropriate driver. I think its using 'radeon', but it needs proprietary ones which will be released next week sometime.
Until then, is there a way I can get my monitor to support the proper resolution.
And how can i tell which driver im using?

My monitor is 1680x1050 but xrandr and #! Statler only recognize 1156x768 (or something like that).
Since  i know my monitor supports 1680x1050, is there a way to force it to that resolution?

Thanks.
