[RESOLVED]resolutionproblem 1920x1080 via 12.2 Lite Ultimate

After installing Zorin OS 12.2 Lite Ultimate my display will only do 1024x768.
I would like to have a resolution of 1920x1080
(At another computer with Fedora 26 the display is oke with 1920x1080.)
The computer I want to use with Zorin is old.

Is it possible to get a resolution of 1920x1080 on this computer?
Your help will be appreciated.

Hi, at boot time can you press E to edit boot command and enter:

Code:

xforcevesa nomodese

TO make xforcevesa stick:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/53279/h ... vesa#53298

ALSO take a look here:

https://www.linuxquestions.org/question ... 175578934/

Keep us posted.

If I am correct 'nomodese' must be 'nomodeset'.
I tried with the use gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="xforcevesa nomodeset"
sudo update-grub
But the screen stays 1080x1024 with 77,0 HZ
I tried with the xorg.conf in /etc/X11
and with the xorg.conf in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d

After a complete new install I sadly I only get 1080x1024 with 77,0 HZ
with the grub update "xforcevesa nomodeset"

Sorry that did not work see if you get any further with vga=791 solution (no guarantees) :

hi

open terminal give the command xrandr

you find your device name (mine is LVDS)

now from the ubuntu handbook go onwards item 2 and follow procedure
http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/201 ... u-desktop/

good luck

@zorinantwerp
The command xrandr gives me:
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 1280x1024+0+0 0mm x 0mm
1280x1024 77.00*

As I stated above my videocard is (on the motherboard)

My screen is IIyama ProLite E2483HS

In this topic
vga=0x365 - 1920x1080 8-bit color
vga=0x366 - 1920x1080 16-bit color
vga=0x367 - 1920x1080 32-bit color
Both 0x366 and 0x367 give me 1600x1200

On this computer I have a dual boot with Zorin 9 Lite 32bit and Zorin 12 Lite 64bit.
When I use Zorin 9 Lite 32bit then my screen shows 1920x1080 from scratch.
Nothing changed to the grub and no xorg.conf in the Zorin 9 Lite 32bit configuration.

That is probably because 9 was based on Lubuntu which had an LTS of 3 years so is now a defunct OS both in Lubuntu and Zorin Terms - 12 moved to XFCE from LXDE.

All I can find for now is:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config

So trying Zorin 12 lite 32 bit is no good option?

Just updated my last reply to xorg conf wiki.

Can you tell me where I can find the xorg conf wiki?

Here!

I installed hwinfo then I used the command hwinfo --framebuffer
According to the output of hwinfo --framebuffer I can't have 1920x1080 but 1600x1200 will.
I placed vga=324 into the grub, but that was no succes. The screen was still 1280x1024
In the grub under the line #GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480
I placed the following line in the grub:
GRUB_GFXMODE= 1600x1200, 1280x1024, 1280x768, 800x600, 640x480

Now my screen is 1600x1200 at 0,0 Hz
And that's enough for me to work with.
Thank you for your help.

Glad you are sorted. From various threads from my searches it would appear that the hardware is the issue in much the same way S3 graphics are except they don't work with GNU/Linux period. Well done for getting it working! Will mark as [RESOLVED] as you did not achieve the resolution you required. What you could do is to buy a second hand Graphics card, but appreciate these can be hard to find.
