Hello guys!
I hope some elementary guru can easily help me to fix my issue.
I have laptop (Dell Inspiron 1545 with intel GMA 4500MHD video)with Elementary OS installed on it, and then I plug my external monitor via VGA to it, elementary does not detect true resolution of my monitor - 1920x1080.
I found a nice workaround with manual adding of new mode in xrandr and further assigning it to my VGA interface:
I use cvt to get correct modeline:
Then I add new mode:
After it I assign it to my interface:
It works rather well, but the problem is that I have to do it any time I turn on my computer, and it takes really a lot of time.
I tried to find reliable way to add this new mode via usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf - I found a solution there was suggested to place following code in this file:
For a pity, it didn't helped - my monitor still is considered by Elementary as mirrorred and maximum resolution which is available in System Settings->Display after reboot is 1024x768.
I hope some elementary guru can easily help me to fix my issue.
