I looked at a similar post and almost exactly like that post there are no other choices for screen resolution except in this case: 640-480
I ran xrandr in terminal and this is what I got:
administrator@administrator-Aspire-5000:~$ xrandr
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 640 x 480, maximum 640 x 480 default connected 640x480+0+0 0mm x 0mm
640x480 73.00* administrator@administrator-Aspire-5000:~$
I also checked for drivers and the only thing that came up was:
Unknown: Unknown
This device is using an alternative driver.
O Using Processor microcode firmware for AMD CPUs from ad64-microcode (proprietary)
O Do not use this device.
I tried changing it to the first choice, restarting then going to display - still no choice for resolution change and then I went back and reverted to "Do not use this device" and still exactly the same, no choice for resolution.
Not sure what I should do now. It is liveable, however all the windows I open are too large for the laptop screen so a bit of a pain to move it around to close or view.
