I had faced problems in changing the screen resolution in Ubuntu as there was only one option available (640x480). It was solved by running the dpkg-reconfigure command which is mentioned in the xorg.conf file. While configuring the monitor, there are 3 modes available: Simple (where the only information required is the the monitor size eg. 15"), Medium and Advanced (where vertical and horizontal frequencies of the monitor need to be entered). One should preferably choose the medium or Advanced option. After I did that, all the resolution options were available.
