help wth screen resolution

[Garry Trethewey]

How do I find out what my screen resolution actually is?

Ubuntu Feisty's menu System, Preferences, Screen Resolution says
"  The X Server does not support the XRandR extension. Runtime 
resolution changes to the display size are not available.  "

Below is the relevant part of my xorg.conf.

By ctrl-alt-keypad+ I can cycle through the options, but by doing this I 
get 6 choices, not 7. So I don't know if I'm on "1280x1024"  or  "1152x921"

If I'm going to do trial & error by editing xorg.conf, I presume I can 
ignore all the
	SubSection "Display"
		Depth		1    etc
other than
	DefaultDepth	24

All this is in aid getting Gutsy to work as well as Feisty. I've kinda 
given up on getting Gutsy to see my video card. Is it possible that the 
radeon driver in Gutsy has reduced capabilities compared to the one in 
Feisty. They wouldn't do that would they? (outrage)

So if I buy a new card that Gutsy will recognise, I'd better find out if 
whatever I'm geting now is what it does.
