Problem with my graphic card

Asked by Fariborz Nassermostofi

Hi folks,

i am using ubuntu 15.04. with my new pc the graphic card is not recognized and
i get only the resolution of 1024x768 but should be 1360x768. The graphic card was also not
recognized in 14.10 either.

The output of lspci is:

The display part of output of LSHW is:

       *-display

             product: Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller
             vendor: Intel Corporation

hi,

i have followed the instructions on the page:

added the repository using:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers

updated the repository using
sudo apt-get update

added this part
=== Using alternative drivers ===
To use experimental ilo (intel) gallium driver add this in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
 Identifier "Device0"
 Driver "Intel"
 Option "DRI" "ilo"
EndSection

rebooted the system.
i have still the problem that the recognized resolution is: 1024x768

From your lshw output:

The display part of output of LSHW is:

product: Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller
configuration: driver=i915

For me that looks as if the correct driver is in use.

Maybe you have the problem that your monitor does not correctly announce the resolutions that it can display.

What is the output of

xrandr --query

(recommended reading: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution )

Hi

this is the output of the xrandr --query

Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1024 x 768, maximum 32767 x 32767
HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
VGA1 connected primary 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
   1024x768 60.0*
   800x600 60.3 56.2
   848x480 60.0
   640x480 59.9
VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

by the way i also had changed the monitor and used another monitor, which has no problem with resolutions
on another system with the following graphic card
Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
The result was the same. wa were restricted to 1024x768 resolution

The following commands should tell the system about a 1360x768-60Hz resolution and activate it on the VGA1 output

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

You might try that.
