Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 18.04
Report if from Linux Mint 19.3 but the same situation is with Ubuntu
18.04
Linux cannot access EDID information from VGA port and it offers maximum
resolution of 1024x768, that is not too much for 24" monitor. When I
connect VGA monitor to other PC with Nvidia card (cuda driver, GPU for
games), it works OK. When I run Windows in this PC, it is OK, monitor is
properly detected and resolution set correctly. Problem is only with
boards with Intel video chips, those are Linux unfriendly.
This is report from nice mini PC, HP EliteDesk 800 G1 USDT.
Until this bug is fixed you cannot expect that people will use these office PCs
with Linux...
