Screen resolution stuck at 1024x768
- by Dananjaya
I just updated from Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04 and have an issue regarding the screen resolution. I have Intel integrated gfx chip and my monitor supports resolutions larger than 1024x768. (in 10.10 I've been using 1280x1024) But as soon as I upgraded, I'm stuck with 1024x768 resolution and seems I can't change it. running xrandr In terminal yields the following results,
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 4096 x 4096

v: height 1024 start 1027 end 1034 total 1063 clock 59.9Hz
What maybe the problem? Is it a bug? What kind of steps I should take in order to get a higher resolution? (changing xorg.conf maybe?) Any insight is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
UPDATE
Screenshot after running xrandr --addmode VGA1 1360x768
As you can see, side bar is not completely visible and Ubuntu logo at the task bar is missing. Also when you open an application, the Task bar of the application (where it should go to the top panel) is missing as well..
