http://askubuntu.com – Few days ago I manage to have 1366x768 resolution option in my Ubuntu 12.04 (nvidia x driver), but the screen (fiscal) and the option resolution in the system settings under monitor, doesn't match each other, I have chosen 1366x768 as the option, but seems that in the screen its just show 1280x768 this is the image : On the right hand side is nvidia x setting and the left is monitor resolution. Should both be on the same setting or doesn't it matter? Should I only focus on the setting that is reflecting in Ubuntu 12.04 by the system setting monitor? What about the refresh rate, does that (HowTos)

Stories similar to Monitor and Ubuntu screen resolution don't match

So I have an Acer x163w widescreen monitor. In monitor setting my Monitor is an unknown. My resolution size is stuck at 1024x768 i believe.

I have tried manually to change the screen resolution and nothing. I am running Ubuntu 12.10 on an Hp Pavillion m7360 Desktop.

Updating the NVidia drivers sends my machine into a storm and things just fall apart until I have to do fresh install.

I have just setup a dual monitor system with a 23 inch LED monitor and a 19 inch LCD monitor. The 23 inch one is connected through HDMI. The 19 inch one is connected to the analogue port of the same GPU (Nvidia Geforce 210).

In Ubuntu 12.10, after installing Nvidia drivers, the 23 inch monitor works fine but the 19 inch monitor got a very low resolution.

1366x768 woes 2 years 34 weeks ago

Hi, I recently purchased a new widescreen monitor with a resolution of 1366x768. I've installed the latest NVidia beta driver, however it does not correctly detect the resolution of my monitor. I am running a twinview setup alongside another 1280x1024 LCD.

Just after the release I installed Lubuntu 12.04 on an old ThinkPad T43 with a 1024x768 resolution display.

This T43 is also often used in a dock connected to an old 19" Dell LCD monitor with 1280x1024 native resolution via a standard VGA-cable.

Every time the T43 was booted in the dock with the Dell monitor it has been necessary to manually change resolution using the auto setting.

Hello.

I have a Dell Latitude C840 with a nVidia GeForce4 440 Go card and the screen is reported to go to 1600x1200, 32 bpp on Wikipedia.

But im unable to choose that resolution in Slackware. last time i changed the resolution to a higher one i needed to edit the xorg.conf, and change the HorizSync setting to match the monitor.

Using Applications->System->Configuration->Configure X11 System (which brings up SaX2), I configured a 2nd monitor to have a resolution of LCD 1280 x 768 (WXGA) @ 60 Hz. The second monitor was also configured to be an extended desktop, not a clone.
