Hi, I had experienced the same problem when i installed Lenny and Ubuntu-64 in my system. But i could solve the problem. My laptop also has nVidia 7150 integrated graphics. When i installed hardy and intrepid the maximum resolution obtained was 800X600. Editing configuration files did not help. when i tried to install the driver obtained from nvidia site according to the instructions given by them it was not successful. Because without kernel source or kernel headers that driver cannot be installed. Ubuntu doesnt copy these things while installing. what i did was i connected to internet and enabled nVidia driver from the restricted driver manager, it downloaded the driver from the canonical's repository and installed. You can also search for the "deb" package and install it manually. latest driver is 177.XX.XX. But i have with me version 169.XX.XX
