I've recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 via wubi, and have so far been unsuccessful in configuring the system to allow a 1366x768 screen resolution. The platform is an HP Pavilion g6-1d73us with Intel HD Graphics 3000, and in Windows 7 the highest resolution is 1366x768.
Please let me know what specific information is needed to diagnose this problem, and I will be happy to report back here.

have you tried to "add" the resolution?
I did this with an HP 1740 monitor.
You could use a .sh file to add that, lets say for example, you want to add a 1280x1024 resolution:
fixme.sh:
#!/bin/sh
xrandr --newmode 1280x1024_60.00 109.00 1280 1368 1496 1712 1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA1 1280x1024_60.00
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1280x1024_60.00Then you can execute your file:
sh fixme.sh
and there you go, new resolution available
What have you tried so far?
Usually, you just navigate to 'Displays' in 'System Settings' and change the resolution.
If that does not show you the resolutions you want, you may need to install the appropriate driver for your video card. Again, got to 'System Settings' and open 'Additional Drivers' and see if there's any video driver available:
If there is any video-related driver available (mine is just an example), activate it and restart. Now 'Displays' screen may show more resolutions.
