Welcome to Trisquel :D

If I'm not wrong that laptop has an intel GPU (probably a Intel GMA950 or an Intel X3150), so there is no need for any adjustment at all and the resolution should be found by default.

Did you noticed that problem using the LiveCD of Trisquel or only after the install ?

If the monitor appears as "unknown" then it is probably a problem with the reading of the EDID (binary file stored on the monitor memory that saves all the useful informations about the monitor itself like the resolution for example), so try the 2 fallowing things if there is also a problem on the LiveCD.

'''1 -''' Remove your /etc/X11/xorg.conf if any. and logout, if the resolution is good then fine, else try the 2º option.

'''2 -''' Create a file at /etc/X11/ named xorg.conf like this '''sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf''' on the terminal, and then copy paste this :

'''Section "Device"
    Driver "intel"
    Option "UseEDID" "true"
    Option "IgnoreEDIDChecksum" "CRT,DFP,TV"
EndSection'''

But I'm pretty sure neither the 2 solutions should be necessary at all. If this doesn't help, and the LiveCD also shows you a low resolution they tell me so I could help you in another way.
