Jerre Domitilli, as per http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04 /product-support/product/inspiron-530/drivers an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (1.0.18). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?
If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-1.0.18 ** Description changed: - Ubuntu Studio 14.04 amd64 - Confirmed on 3 physical machines of different make/model. - Confirmed in both upgrade and clean install. - Resolution limited to 1024x768 on Intel G31/G33 - Related bug #1078695 - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/x11-utils/+bug/1078695 + In a clean install of Ubuntu 14.04 the resolution is limited to + 1024x768.
