I have an external LG ultrawide monitor (21:9 ratio) connected through HDMI on 
my laptop with integrated Intel graphics. I adapted a script from this thread 
to support for 2560x1080 (60Hz) resolution:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/727753/how-do-i-configure-ubuntu-for-a-219-screen

It would be useful if the resolution was automatically supported. It
works perfectly in Debian Jessie (Gnome).

--------------------------

#!/bin/bash

# Setup external monitor resolution at 2560x1080 (60Hz), if connected
RESOLUTION="2560 1080 60"
OUTPUT="HDMI-1"

CONNECTED=$(xrandr --current | grep -i $OUTPUT | cut -f2 -d' ')
if [ "$CONNECTED" = "connected" ]; then
    MODELINE=$(cvt $RESOLUTION | cut -f2 -d$'\n')
    MODEDATA=$(echo $MODELINE | cut -f 3- -d' ')
    MODENAME=$(echo $MODELINE | cut -f2 -d' ')

    echo "Adding mode - " $MODENAME $MODEDATA
    xrandr --newmode $MODENAME $MODEDATA
    xrandr --addmode $OUTPUT $MODENAME
    xrandr --output $OUTPUT --mode $MODENAME
else
    echo "Monitor is not detected"
fi
