I have a eight year old laptop which in those days had every Linux OS
working on it fine that i tried.
As the new and improved versions came out i had hassles with the screen
resolution.
The last version that worked correctly was 10.04 i386, 12.04 (Ubuntu,
Kubuntu & Xubuntu) gives me a 3/4 screen with a maximum choice of
800x600 instead of 1024x768 according to system settings and xrandr.
I have followed the step by step xrandr instructions according to google
with no success.
I don't mind keeping 10.04 but after days of googeling i am unable to
connect my 3G modem which works 100% in 12.04.
ROSA 2012 LTS screen resolution comes out fine so it's not a hardware
problem.
Any ideas please.

You could start by telling us the make & exact model of laptop.

According to this page:
http://www.immortalsgate.com/dkauk/Laptops/Acer_Aspire_1362LC.htm
That has a UniChrome Pro IGP graphics chip from VIA.
If you Google for "UniChrome Pro IGP linux" you will find various
pages explaining how to get a driver from Sourceforge or install it
from the Ubuntu repositories directly.
However, these instructions mostly date back to 2009-2010 - it's a
pretty old GPU and a pretty old, low-spec laptop, I'm afraid.
It may be that the drivers are installed by default these days and
just aren't working, or are no longer supported.
Can you post your X.11 server startup log so that we can see what is going on?

I don't know what version of xorg 12.04 uses but xorg 7.6 in another
distro causing the 3/4 screen problem, how can i downgrade to xorg 7.5
which works fine and gives me a 1024x768 resolution?

No, you can't downgrade, but there are other ways around such problems.
This is why I asked you to post your X log file. You will find it here:

I did not see your X log yet - did you manage to find it and post it?
