Screen resolution stuck on 640x480

[ealgiros]

Just had the same problem with LL3.8, then upgraded to LL 4.4 and the problem remained

The following SOLVED it: (though the GUI became kinda slow since, maybe will go back to LL 3.8 and see what happens. Don't undestand why the LIVE CD GUI worked faster ...)

Open a Terminal and create a xorg.conf file

Code:

sudo leafpad /etc/X11/xorg.conf

It will open a text editor with elevated user privileges.
Now copy and paste this in it:

    Section "Device"
      Identifier "Configured Video Device"
      Driver "vesa"
    EndSection

Save xorg.conf

Reboot PC

PS: copied this solution from another post in this forum: ([ SOLVED ] 640x480 is the only available screen resolusion? )
