I tried ! But cvt was not giving good results; I would obtain terrible displays and even feared that it would damage my monitor. At that time I had Windoze in dual boot and did not have problems with my display. So I installed Powerstrip, as recommended (I think) on a Xrandr doc page ("when everything else fails (cvt, gtf ...), try powerstrip"?), noted the results for Linux, swithced back to Ubuntu and ultimately erased Windows. :) .
Note : I tried the method of starting from lower resolutions to higher, but never got to 1920 1080. With a list of "true 16:9 resolutions", I could rise to 1500-something pixels width, but the image was bad on the eyes. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1270672 Title: intel driver installed but still no high resolution To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1270672/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
