How to find the best monitor resolution and put it to work? Fedora

I need to install a compatible video driver on a Fedora machine. The resolution proportion isn't very well and I can't change the brightness and contrast (xbacklight and xgamma) either.

Please answer me with a complete solution or a final successfully tutorial.

Some information about the system is:

$ lspci | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Proce

I can't set my desktop resolution beyond 1024x768 on Ubuntu 12.04. Everything else seems to be fine, I just don't have the option in Displays to set the monitor to a higher resolution.

Hello:

I just installed F17 and my monitor is running in a less than preferred configuration. In my search for an updated or more capable driver, that's where I get stuck.

I am an Ubuntu User since 4 years, i have duel boot with ubuntu 10.04 and ubuntu 12.04, my problem is with ubuntu 12.04 it does not showing higher resolution than 1024. in ubuntu 10.04 there is no issues the details of the VGA is , 1. Ubuntu 10.04 LTS #lspci | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Sandy Bridge Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) 2.

I am on an HP Envy 14, and the proper resolution that I should be using is 1366x768. This is not an option and I am stuck on 1024x768.

Note: I've seen this question quite a lot, but in all the cases I could find with answers, the answer was either "I don't know" or "use nvidia-settings (which is irrelevant to me)."

I'm using Intel Sandybridge Desktop graphics, with a P8H61-M LE motherboard.

I just installed Fedora 17 on my HP Pavilion G6 Laptop however the maximum resolution is 1024X768 where as my screen has 1366X768 max resolution. I've tried looking for a new driver but everywhere I go seems to say that intel drivers are already bundled up with the OS. Is there something i'm missing?

Hello

I am trying to enable the desktop effects on my Dell Inspiron n5110 (15R), with the follwing graphics card configuration:

Code: lspci | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 0df5 (rev a1) It seems that I don't have the prope

xrandr output

$ xrandr xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default Screen 0: minimum 1920 x 1200, current 1920 x 1200, maximum 1920 x 1200 default connected 1920x1200+0+0 0mm x 0mm 1920x1200 77.0*

My laptop screen should go all the way down to 640x480 (not that I want it to, but it is capable (I remember when when I had XP on here))

Practically, I want to be able to set the
