screen rez issue and lan issue

I am using a 42" monitor via VGA and the maximum screen rez I can select is 1024x768, my screen rez should be 1920x1080_60.00, does anybody know how to fix the issue?

Also I am having an issue keeping my wired connection connected to my network. It will never connect and says that wired connection disconnected all the time. Any way to fix this also?

Hi,

have you firstly done the updates:

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2247

Have you also used the "Additional Drivers Tool" in the Hardware section in System Settings??. You can also check out "Display" while you are there!!.

Regards Wolfman

If the problem is not fixed after the updates, as regards the lan problem, please post back the results of the following commands:

I see that both wireless and lan are connected simultaneously. Switch off your wireless and try to connect only via LAN to see if that helps.
Also check your ethernet cable. Try a new one as the one you are using might be faulty.

i have turned off wireless and the lan still don't work, and the cable is fine

also still can't get my display size above 1024x768

This is very strange as your lan says "link=yes", which means that it is connected.

Please plug the ethernet cable, wait 10 seconds and post the results of the following commands:

Code:

dmesg | grep RTL

Code:

dmesg | grep rtl

Also as regards you GPU please post back the result of:

Code:

lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 VGA
