How do I get a higher resolution than 1280 X 800 in Ubuntu 13.04

I have installed Ubuntu 13.04 on a Dell Inspiron 1520 that has an nVidia G84M graphics card

I have followed the instructions from this link

How do I install the Nvidia drivers?

and I installed the recommended nvidia-319 package but I am still stuck with 1280 x800 as the maximum resolution

running windows 7 in virtualbox I can get a resolution of 1600 x 1200 so the issue appears in Ubuntu

does anyone have any suggestions?

thanks in advance

According to this link - your laptop's native resolution is 1280x800. It does not make much sense to use non-native resolution on an LCD display, but if you want to make everything smaller you can do it by using xrandr to scale your display.

See this question for more details: How do I achieve higher resolution than physical resolution of an LCD?
