Solved!!!!! Solved!!!!

After getting frustrated with this big display, I hot-plugged to a Dell 17" 1280x960 monitor and noticed noting changed except Monitor was correctly detected as "Dell 17". Then, I restarted, still no change in resolution - stuck in 1024x768.

And I did old the trick - removed xorg.conf file (renamed it actually) and see if Ubuntu can auto-generate a new one with correct resolution and voila! It did! I got the proper 1280x960 and "Dell 17".

But I found no xorg.conf was auto-generated by Ubuntu. So, shutdown and plugged back my Acer 1440x900 and turned it on. Now am on the correct resolution. Still, no xorg.conf file in /etc/X11/.

NO EDID ERRORS in dmesg!!!!

Am happy now. Silly, I didnt try the old trick. But I did during the initial testing stages (beta releases).
