Try the Intel driver installer. OmgUbuntu has a guide

Graphics Installer 1.0.7 for Ubuntu* 14.04, 64-bit is this ?

installed above package and ran with an installer..

Installer installed several packages like build-essentials and shows report.

''sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade'' d the system.

rebooted,

 Nothing happened. No new entry in resolution selection in KDE control module.

What I do sir ?

is it will solve ? may i know which kubuntu version will support proper display resolution ? i will upgrade or downgrade to same...

from 2 days there is no solution ?

You could try creating an xorg.conf file based on the EDID information of your monitor.

plz gimme the contents of xorg.conf file. i am a begginer

Section "Monitor"

EndSection

is it enough ? Or shall add some info ?

Partial Read... Try again

plz help me... i am new in linux. i have only way to switch back to windows ?

see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution and try some of the possibilities.

after putting above lines on xorg.conf, rebooted, the display began to slightly vibrate. I think resolutions will okay & icons a texts went tooooooooooo small.............

sir,

Can you modify the below section for me ?

Section "Device"
        Identifier "Intel 945G "
        Driver "intel"

        # Using the name of the output defined by the video driver plus the identifier of a
        # monitor section, one associates a monitor section with an output by adding an
        # option to the Device section in the following format:
        # Option "Monitor-outputname" "monitor ID"

        Option "monitor-VGA" "foo"
        Option "monitor-LVDS" "bar"
        #Option "monitor-TMDS-1" "dvi"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier "foo"

        # specifies a mode to be marked as the preferred initial mode of the monitor
        # Option "PreferredMode" "800x600"
        # This optional entry specifies the position of the monitor within the X screen.
        #Option "Position" "1024 0"
        #This optional entry specifies that the monitor should be ignored
        # entirely, and not reported through RandR. This is useful if the
        # hardware reports the presence of outputs that do not exist.
        #Option "Ignore" "true"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier "bar"

        #Options LeftOf, RightOf, Above, Below specify monitors' relative position

        Option "LeftOf" "foo"

        # This optional entry specifies whether the monitor should be
        # turned on at startup. By default, the server will attempt to
        # enable all connected monitors.
        #Option "Enable" "true"

        #This optional entry specifies the initial rotation of the given monitor.
        # Valid values for rotation are "normal", "left", "right", and "inverted".
        # Option "Rotate" "left"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Default Screen"

        Monitor "foo"

        SubSection "Display"

Does

xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1360x768

change anything?

~$ xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1360x768
xrandr: cannot find mode 1360x768

Maybe

xrandr --newmode "1360x768_60.00" 84.75 1360 1432 1568 1776 768 771 781 798 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode "1360x768_60.00"

see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Adding_undetected_resolutions

$ xrandr --newmode "1360x768_60.00" 84.75 1360 1432 1568 1776 768 771 781 798 -hsync +vsync

$ xrandr --output VGA1 --mode "1360x768_60.00"

xrandr: cannot find mode 1360x768_60.00

Sir,

i read above documentations . But xrandr and .xprofiles are not working in my cause. Editing in xorg.conf is slightly changed monitor resolution.

i created a section in xorg.conf same as below. But nothing changed..

Section "Device"
        Identifier "Intel HD Graphics "
        Driver "intel"
        Option "monitor-VGA1" "foo"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier "foo"
        Option "PreferredMode" "1360x768"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Default Screen"
        Device "Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller"
        Monitor "foo"
        DefaultDepth 24
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth 24
                Modes "1360x768" "1280x1024" "800x600" "848x480" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

The sequence has to be

xrandr --newmode 1360x768_60.00 84.75 1360 1432 1568 1776 768 771 781 798 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA1 1360x768_60.00
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1360x768_60.00

I cannot propose anything else than the solutions in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution
If that does not work, I cannot help.

Hureeeeeeeeyyyyyyyy..... Now its worked...... :-D

But how it make persistent ?

After every boot its changes to 1024x768 ? :'(

Thanks Manfred Hampl, that solved my question.
