I recently decided to go Ubuntu on my laptop. Everything seems to be working fine but my screen resolution are set to 1366x768 and that's the maximum i can go. I know i can go higher, i have intel hd graphics 3000 card on my dell inspiron n5110 15R laptop. Here's the lshw output.

$ sudo lshw -C video
[sudo] password for techfried:
