This might be a driver bug or it might be a hardware problem. In case it is a driver bug then I have assigned it to both the 'modeset' Xorg driver and the kernel 'i915' driver. Can you please boot a newer version of Ubuntu from USB and tell us if it has the same problem?
19.10: http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ 19.04: http://releases.ubuntu.com/19.04/ If this is a hardware problem then there are two possible causes I can think of: * Poor VGA connection or cable. Can you try a different cable? * Maybe the monitor does not support EDIDs, but unlikely. ** Summary changed: - Not able to get updated version of Driver + Stuck in 1024x768 resolution.
