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 Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1270672 Title: intel driver installed but still no high resolution Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: i don't know if it has to do with my Samsung p2350 monitor not being recognized.
