ubuntu 11.10 display resolution driver

How change ubuntu 11.10 display resolution settings using xrandr (solved). Now in just a single click, you can change your ubuntu display without too many 'shot!'

Ubuntu 11.10 switched from gdm to lightdm. There is a lightdm folder under /etc with 3 configuration files. Perhaps placing the code there would work?

It seems that lightdm.conf isn’t an appropriate place to put this. It seemed to work fine the first couple of times I restarted, but then it completely froze my system when starting up. I had to log in to the shell and manually edit the file to remove the code just to boot.

For now, I just put it in a text file and set the permissions to allow it to be executable. When I start up, I double click on the text file, select “Run in Terminal” and it executes the code properly. I’m sure there is a way to set this script up to run on start up automatically, but I don’t know it off the top of my head and haven’t had the time to research it yet.

OK for now, if you see in http://malaysian-ubuntu.blogspot.com/2010/09/how-change-ubuntu-display-resolution.html, you got lot of problem especially for newbies. Don-t worry, I already create driver for ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10 display software driver.
