as far as i know, you cant... i think its because they dont have the specific gpu driver or something.. but i could be wrong

It's also a LiveCD, which means you can't make any lasting changes to the configuration.

yea.. its only live cd, once u install ubuntu, u'd be able to set it to the max rez ur gpu/monitor can offer. on a second note, live cd allows you to switch between the two lowest possible resolutions, so if ur lowest rez is 800 x 600, then you'd be able to do 1024 x 768
