Is there anyway to reset my monitor? My moitor is using the xorg.conf file. I use 10.04, without any Graphics Card. My monitor is an Acer X193W, with a native resolution of 1440x900.

This is my xorg.conf file:

Section "Screen"
    Identifier  "Configured Screen Device"
    Device  "Configured Video Device"
    Monitor "Test"
    DefaultDepth 16
    SubSection "Display"
        Depth 16
        Modes   "1440x900_60.00"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

#Section "Device"
#   Identifier  "Configured Video Device"
#   HorizSync 
#   VertRefresh
#EndSection

I still cant view the native resolution, even when defined in the xorg file. An way I can revert to the default, or delete some files, to make the system detect the monitor again?

My last resort is the cvt method, and adding it to the xrandr file.

EDIT: I use Intel Drivers. My /proc/fb contains 0 VGA16 VGA
