Graphics Resolution NOT

Hi;

I've been watching the progress of ZorinOS for some time (years). I try many operating systems, Linux distros. I also have several platforms that I use daily. Primary is Windows 10 (now). Before upgrading to Win10 - I really wanted to make the switch to a Linux based OS. However, I continuously ran into the problem of graphics drivers that supported the 1920x1080 resolution that I have come to require.

I was so excited that when I installed the latest version of Zorin15 (free) soon to buy the Ultimate version if things worked out.

It was GREAT everything seemed to work perfectly and quite snappy add. My hopes were dashed when I changed my image background, or rebooted the PC. The display resolution would revert back to 1024X768. I was able to get it back every once and awhile by selecting another background image, or rebooting again and it would come back up in the higher preferred resolution. ??? baffling.

If I was able to manually switch/select the higher res - I would probably stick with Zorin15 on a daily test machine, however - it never lists a resolution higher than 1024x768.
This is the information of my graphics adapter:




The computer(s) is an ACER Veriton L4620G or VL4620G-UI3323X 8Gigs of RAM

Can anyone HELP resolve this problem?

Hi there. I am assuming this is an integrated graphics chip. You should definitely have no problems with the graphics adapter as such. Are you experiencing this issue on the laptop screen or an external monitor. If external monitor, what type of cable do you use to connect? Is it VGA or HDMI? I am pretty sure we can get it to work in Linux but obviously you need to take the plunge and install it before it can be set up properly.

THANK YOU!

the example didn't work, however after researching 'xrandr' I was able to find an example that did.

I don't know if the commands made it 'Stick' -- I guess I'll know after a reboot. If not I may have to create a script that runs on bootup.

Code:

use xrandr to add:    xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00"  172.80  1920 2040 2248 2576  1080 1081 1084 1118  -HSync +Vsync
add this to output:   xrandr --addmode VGA-1 1920x1080_60.00
switch to this mode:  xrandr --output VGA-1 --mode 1920x1080_60.00

EDIT: had to add those commands to my .profile to get things to work on boot.

Anyone that has this issue - look at this for ideas:
