I'm using ubuntu gutsy, and my current screen resolution is 1024x760.

i have an x61 tablet, and i would like to go to a higher resolution, however I don't know what the maximum resolution is for my screen. I see that there is a model of x61 tablet with a "1400x1050 resolution and Super-Wide Viewing Angle (145 ppi)" but i don't know how to tell whether of not this is the one i have. I know i have a multitouch tablet, and i don't know what "super-wide viewing angle" is since this is my first laptop. screen is still readable at about a 10 degree angle to the screen though (the screen being the plane) but that's not really quantifiable...

in the "screens and graphics" configuration, my screen is listed as "LCD Panel 1024x760"





in short: how can i tell which screen i have or what my maximum resolution is?

Can you tell us the 7-digit product code at the back of your laptop? The information you want can be found from lenovo's website with the product code.

I'm fairly certain the multi-touch screens are only available in the 1024 x 768 maximum screen resolution. They were never available at the higher 1400 x 1050 resolution, so most likely you're using the maximum resolution already. Also, if you turn over your laptop and find the serial number (7 digits) along with the first four digits of your machine type which will appear as XXXX-XXX, you may do a parts lookup here:

Lenovo Parts Lookup

But please don't post your serial number in any public forum. However what gator suggests is also an option. Just don't confuse your product code with your serial number. Using parts lookup may be preferable if you have a XXXX-CTO (configured-to-order) product code machine.

okay i did that and it says
13N7234 13N7233 12.1 INCH LCD DISPLAY ASSEMBLY FRU
but that doesn't tell me anything.

it's a 7764CTO laptop

i'll just assume that this is the highest resolution available then. thank you.

FRU lookup for FRU# 13N7233 shows that as a 1024 x 768 XGA LCD:

thank you

i tried typing the FRU and the manufacturer's part number into the search box, but no results came up. I didn't know there was a specific FRU# loopup.
