I installed Ubuntu 14.04 on my Toshiba DX1210 and have not been able to change the screen resolution from 1280x1024 when the specs say that it supports 1920x1080. I have tried installing the drivers for the Intel HD Graphics 3000 graphics card (v1.0.5 (64bit) from: 01) which did not have any effect.
I have tried running xrandr
and adding a new mode but have not been able to get this to work as when I try to switch to the new mode there is an error (I think because it is above the "maximum" of 1280x1024). Here is the output of xrandr
:
Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 1280 x 1024, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1280 x 1024
default connected primary 1280x1024+0+0 0mm x 0mm
1280x1024 77.0*
I only have the one monitor which has a built in display and am not using any software such as VirtualBox. I had some trouble installing Ubuntu and eventually figured out that the nomodeset
option needed to be set. I have tried disabling it after installing those drivers but the display did not work (blank screen after the Ubuntu logo when booting) and needed to re-enable it again to log in.
How can I get my system to fully accept the drivers I installed?
