How do I get 1366x768 resolution on 12.04?
- by Megan
I am on an HP Envy 14, and the proper resolution that I should be using is 1366x768. This is not an option and I am stuck on 1024x768. I am using Linux 12.04.
lspci | grep VGA:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Madison [Radeon HD 5000M Series]
I've tried to add the resolution as a mode in xorg.conf but that does not work.
Please any help would be appreciated. I'm new to Linux and just got my dual boot working but this resolution issue is killing me.
Edit1
I just tried using the xrandr command:
xrandr --newmode "1368x768_60.00" 85.25 1368 1440 1576 1784 768 771 781 798 -hsync +vsync
But I get an error:
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default

lsmod returns the following:

I have installed ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver. But there is another one called ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver (post-release updates) which I have trouble installing because it gives me an error and tells me to look at some sort of jockey log.
