Public bug reported: I use Ubuntu 13.10 64bits on my Asus F201E, and when I plug in my Acer x233h via VGA as an external monitor, the maximal resolution available in "System settings > Screen Display" is 1024×768 (as well as 800×600), but the maximal resolution of the screen is supposed to be 1920×1080.
I have no proprietary drivers available in "System Setting > Software & Updates > Additional drivers", and I installed the latest version of the Intel Linux Graphics Drivers from https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads, thinking it would help (version 1.0.3), to no avail. This seems it should not be the default behaviour. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this external monitor ends up having a maximal resolution that is inferior to my tiny laptop... :) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.99.904-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-15.23-generic 3.11.10 Uname: Linux 3.11.0-15-generic x86_64 .tmp.unity.support.test.0: ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2.2 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: compiz CompositorUnredirectDriverBlacklist: '(nouveau|Intel).*Mesa 8.0' CompositorUnredirectFSW: true Date: Sat Jan 25 16:07:16 2014 DistUpgraded: 2013-10-26 12:01:35,166 DEBUG enabling apt cron job DistroCodename: saucy DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: hdjmod, 1.28, 3.11.0-13-generic, x86_64: installed hdjmod, 1.28, 3.11.0-14-generic, x86_64: installed hdjmod, 1.28, 3.11.0-15-generic, x86_64: installed ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes, if not too technical GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0106] (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
