I did a fresh install of 18.04. I have an AMD A8-5600 (integrated HD 7560D) CPU and an LCD monitor that is capable of at least 1600x1200.



I only get 4 resolution options with 1024x768 being the highest.



I have apps that require higher resolution.



How can I set it higher?

  • Are you connecting the monitor over VGA (DB15) connection?

    Please add to question -- 1. Did the monitor work at the correct resolution in previous versions of Ubuntu? 2. Have you tried different monitors? If so, what were the results?

    RESOLVED: Switching to DVI cable solved the problem. I was tunnel visioned on drivers. The monitor only has 2 connectors; VGA & DVI and I was using the DVI for another computer sharing the monitor. Thank you to everyone who posted :-).
