I have tha same (1440, gamma, fglrx removed) with Radeon HD 4850, but only on upgraded ubuntu from 12.04 to 14.04 (both LTS) . With "14.04.1 LTS desktop live" I have correct resolution: root@ubuntu:~# xrandr -q Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192 HDMI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) VGA-0 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 477mm x 268mm 1920x1080 60.0*+ 1680x1050 60.0 1280x1024 60.0 1440x900 59.9 1280x960 60.0 1280x800 59.8 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 56.2 640x480 60.0 DVI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
#lspci 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV770 [Radeon HD 4850] On the upgraded version I have to use -q12 and -s to see 1920x1080, but can't add it - gamma "missing". As there is no xorg.conf, it is hard to move settings ... It looks, as always, the best way to upgrade ubuntu is to reinstall ubuntu. I think to install all packages from "live" distribution missing in the installed version, as it is all autodiscovery, but I feel I will have to reinstall it. But if installed ubuntu has different autodiscovery settings compared to the live version, maybe someone knows, how to change it? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1364078 Title: Cannot set screen resolution above 1400x1050 Status in “xserver-xorg-video-ati” package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: Since installing Ubuntu 14.04, I have not been able to adjust the display resolution to 1920x1080. My current Ubntu version is Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS. My video card is an AMD/ATI RV710, which displayed at high resolution with Ubuntu 12.04. The Ubuntu 14.04 open-source driver showed options between 640x400 and 1280x1024. I tried the proprietary driver, which set the resolution at 1400x1050 with no other options. I tried to remove the proprietary driver, but rebooting has me stuck at 1400x1050.
