http://ubuntuforums.org – I have the same issue on two laptop computers with Intel Graphic Chip sets. 1st Laptop - Intel GMA 4500 Laptop display resolution is fine however external monitor will not go higher than 1024x768. On windows this computer manages 1366x768 with the same monitor. 2nd Laptop - Intel GMA 950 Laptop display resolution is fine however external monitor will not go higher than 1024x768. On windows this computer manages 1280x768 with the same monitor. The external display is connected with VGA. The same issue used to occur with 11.04 as well but worked in Ubuntu before (I think 9.10 or 10.04). (Hardware)

Using 64-bit Ubuntu 11.10 and integrated (Intel) graphics, I can run the 1600x900 laptop display plus a 1600x1200 external monitor connected to the VGA adapter.

I am trying to clone 2 displays. I have a laptop with 1440x900 resolution and an external monitor with 1024x768 resolution.

I have a Dell Inspiron 4000, 900 Mhz Pentium III, 192 MB RAM,10.1 GB disk running Lubuntu 12.04. When I start the computer, and I check the display resolution, Monitor Settings claims that the max resolution is 1024x768.

I'd like to disable my laptop monitor at startup (when an external monitor is connected), but make it available in X.By default, my boot looks like :* Grub2 displays only on my external monitor (at maximum resolution)* Kernel displays only on my external monitor (maximum resolution)* udev (I think) is started and turns on my laptop screen.

Hi, Apologies if this is somehow covered elsewhere. I've done a good bit of searching to no avail.

I'm running 2 monitors from a fresh install of F17 on my Dell Latitude D410. Monitor 1: the laptop's LCD screen - detected, all fine and dandy. Monitor 2: an external flatscreen monitor.

I am using MSI VR440 laptop http://www.msi.com/product/nb/VR440.html#?div=Specification . The laptop uses SIS Graphics card and has the resolution of 1280x800.

When I connect a desktop LCD monitor Samsung with the resolution of 1366x768, the desktop monitor displays the same resolution as that of the laptop, showing the copy of the laptop's monitor and making it distorted.

ok so for starters, im using BT5R3, no probs.

i have an EEE pc 1005HAB and it has a intel GMA 950 chipset. my primary laptop monitor's resolution is 1024x600, works no problem. my secondary monitor which is to the right of monitor0, is running at 1024x768.

the problem is, my 2nd monitors native resolution is 1600x1200.

I have a Sony Vaio laptop running F17/KDE4.9, with Intel Mobile GM965/GL960 graphics. Laptop display resolution is 1280x800. I connect a new ACER 1920x1080 external monitor via VGA cable (no other socket on laptop) hoping to have the option of using it at native resolution but am only offered 1280x800. How can I get the correct resolution offered in the Display Settings GUI?

I'm trying to use a 21.5 inches monitor (Síragon) as a secondary display for my laptop (HP Pavilion dm4-1265dx) but Ubuntu says the external monitor is "unknown" and don't let me increase the resolution above 1024x768.

Can somebody help me out please?
