http://askubuntu.com – Can't get ubuntu 12.04 to set pixel resolution higher than 1360x768. Very new to linux liking it other than this lol. I have a dell xps 420 with a nvidia geforce 260 hooked up to my 55 inch tv through a dvi/hdmi adapter.The display program wont set the resolution above 1360x768.I have tried the two "additional driver" options for the graphics card and the Details Window doesn't recognise with either driver.

So, here's my deal: Trying to force my Ubuntu install to use 1360x768. It's a dual boot situation with Windows 7 in an Acer Aspire x1200. The Windows install uses the correct resolution but the one Ubuntu uses pushes parts off screen.

How do I force it to use 1360x768?

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 12.10 and when I try to change my resolution in NVIDIA X server settings, I only get the native one (1600x900). When I had 12.04 installed, all resolutions were available in the drop down list. My goal is to have twinview working again.

I am running Ubuntu 9.10 on my Macbook Air, which has a Nvidia Geforce 9400M videocard. I am using the restricted driver (185).

The problem is that I can use my Dell WFP2408WFP as external display but only with a resolution of 1600x1200 and not its native 1920x1200 resolution (which the Macbook Air does support).

Hello, I recently upgraded to 12.04. Post upgrade, my display resolution is 1024x768. In the display settings menu, I do not get any other option for higher resolution.

I was always using higher resolution before. I use onboard graphics....Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics

Please suggest what I should be doing. Avinash

My system was fine till I installed the Nvidia driver. Now the display resolution has changed to 640x480 and I am unable to revert it to 1366x768.

low display resolution 42 weeks 5 days ago

At the beginning my screen resolution is 1680x 945 in Ubuntu 12.04. I found the computer is really hot then I try to install a new Nvidia display driver and installed bumblebee. I am not sure it's right approach or not. Then my display resolution is automatically adjusted to 1080 x 768.

After that I cannot select the original resolution.

I'm new to Ubuntu and I cannot figure out why it won't allow me to set my resolution to 1280x1024. I've looked at countless forums and nothing has helped. I have a laptop with an Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller. There's no driver updates or anything along those lines.

I have a Dell laptop with a resolution of 1600 x 900 and I have a second monitor as Dell 24". The resolution that Ubuntu is configured in a virtual box is 1024 * 800. How can I fix the resolution on the Dell monitor to get a higher resolution?
