Ubuntu 10.04 screen resolutions

[marthter]

Arg.  Why oh why must everything keep getting "improved" until it is broken?

On a new Ubuntu 10.04 install... trying to troubleshoot a problem of 
auto-detected resolutions not including half of the desired resolutions 
which I know the hardware supports.

Unfortunately after a full day of googling and experimenting most of the 
forums posts seem to be either outdated or moronic 
blind-leading-the-blind wrong answers.  The ones that are almost-there 
on what I think has (usually, lately) been the right way of doing it do 
not quite get around my problem.

Does anyone have good suggestions of intelligent Ubuntu forums to post 
something like this in? or would it be too off topic to post such a 
question here?  (I suppose an intelligent Ubuntu forum would be called a 
Debian newsgroup right?  oh zing!)

Cheers.

Martin
