lspci | grep VGA

Code:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 04)

How can I change notebook (LVDS) resolution to 1024x768 and why Is not this resolution supported ???
So far i tried

Code:

xrandr --output LVDS -s 1024x768

but it just turn of/on external monitor and nothing happens. Also tried

Code:

xrandr --newmode "1024x768" 63.50  1024 1072 1176 1328  768 771 775 798 -hsync +vsync

with the same effect and getting error "BadName (named color or font does not exist)"

I am running xubuntu thank you
