Problem -   I can't get 2560x1440  high resolution to work on my Dell 27" U2713HM Monitor.  Details -   I have a Dell E6520 LAPTOP running 64 bit Windows 8. The highest resolution on the laptop is 1920x1080.  It shows 2 display adapters under Device Manager   Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 NVIDIA NVS 4200M   I checked to make sure drivers for both are latest. In my task tray I have both Intel graphics and NVIDIA managers.  I bought a Dell 27" U2713HM Monitor to use 2560 X 1440 resolution.  Installed the Dell Display manager, latest drivers etc.  Connected monitor using Dual Link DVI through my docking station.  I just cant get the 2560 X 1440 high resolution.  It only gives me 1920 X 1080 on the monitor. I even tried the HDMI connection.  Is this because my laptop display card has max resolution of 1920 X 1080?   So in order to use a certain max resolution, the display card in my laptop needs to support it?  If I see 2 display adaptors in Device manager, does it mean I have 2 display cards?  How can I get the Dell 27" U2713HM Monitor 2560 X 1440 resolution to work?

I have Asus Eee PC 1015CX and I wanted to install Ubuntu 12.04, when I used the bootable USB and tried it, the only available option for resolution setting was 800x600 which looks bad on the screen.   There is no other option on the menu. How can I enable higher resolution?

Running 11.04 beta in a Parallels 5.0 virtual machine, but this question will apply to any virtualization software.  Parallels 5 Linux tools (guest additions) don't work for 10.10 and 11.04 and I don't want them. I like how the VM is integrated as is. The only thing that needs tuning is the screen geometry.  None of the options in the Systems -> Preferences -> Monitors fit my display perfectly. I need it at 1080 x 1920 (9:16) or 1920 x 1080 (16:9).  Many different resolutions work (see screen-shot bellow), among which are:   1680 x 1080 (too narrow horizontally and a bit too short vertically) 1920 x 1200 (perfect horizontally, but a bit too tall vertically)   How can I adjust the screen resolution (display/monitor size) manually?

A screen of mine burnt out, and was replaced with a screen of lower resolution. It works in safe mode as that is in 800x600 resolution, but when I try to boot to normal mode, it fails. Is there a way to change the resolution for normal mode in safe mode?

I have a 3200x1800 ultrabook and I would like to decrease the resolution of the screen 2x. The problem is that once I do it all the GUI elements increase in size too much    Is there a way how to scale down the size of everything that Gnome Shell shows ?

I read on  that the netbook edition of Ubuntu was discontinued and that it is now integrated into the main distribution (as of 11.04).  I tried 11.04 on my new Samsung NC110-A06AU with 10.1" 1024x600 display. Most things worked out of the box, but some (like backlight power control) needed some  before they began to co-operate.  One thing that seems to be an ongoing problem is the resolution.  At 1024x600, most of the dialogue boxes run off the bottom of the screen, including the update manager. I have tried 11.10 beta 1 and it has the same problem.  Is there any way to fix this, or at least make it more usable? (I suspect not). Given the recent rise in popularity of netbooks, do you think Ubuntu will include a low-resolution-friendly version in the near future?  How well does KDE deal with these low resolutions? I noticed KDE Plasma has a netbook interface. Is it worth switching for that?

I have recently created an Ubuntu 12.04 partition on my Windows 7 laptop. When installing it, I switched to "high contrast" mode, which has rather large cursors (by large I mean about twice as large and thick as they should normally are).  Now I have successfully installed the partition, the large cursors have stuck around even after exiting this high contrast mode, but only when I am hovering over stuff e.g. hovering over text inputs, links, and when resizing windows. All of these cursors are too large. They cursor is only normally sized when the computer should be displaying the normal mouse pointer.  Does anyone know how I might go about fixing this?

I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 on an ASUS X99-E-10G WS w/ an NVIDIA 1080Ti and an LG 4k 32&quot; monitor which persistently gets recognized as 27&quot;. When I log in, the text of certain UI elements is ~2x the normal size. After I go to settings/universal access and turn large text on and then off again, everything is the normal size I expect. Screenshot after logging in  After turning &quot;large text&quot; on  After turning &quot;large text&quot; off  How do I get the conditions I have after cycling the &quot;large text&quot; feature to be present immediately after booting? I have the 440 version of NVIDIA's drivers installed.

I purchased a new Lenovo g580 laptop. But I am totally disappointed when I installed Ubuntu on it. Almost all drivers are not working. :-(  The laptop configuration is  intel i3 processor  Nvidia GeForce 610M graphics card.  I couldn't find the nvidia drivers in the additional drivers (jockey).  The main problem is that the brightness control not working. I tried lots of methods explained in this site, but the result again disappointed me.  I am a student and I am using Linux, and the brightness control is the most urgent problem that have to be solved.  So experts please give me a solution.  thanks in advance

I'm using VirtualBox with Windows 7 as the guest OS. However the max resolution setting I can get in the control panel is only 1264x602. How can I get up to the full HD resolution that I have in the Windows 7 host?

I'm trying to make this simple smoke sim, but I just can't figure out what is going on. It feels like I have tried to change every setting from Domain resolution, high resolution, applying scale etc and nothing works. I'm rendering in Eevee (I tried cycles and get the same problem though). Also in Blender 2.81.
