Can not get my resolution to HD using xrandr

So, complete new ISO and install.

something similar again: [ubuntu] GPU twice in System Details, resolution 1024x768, Unknown Display and wrong name iGPU - Page 2

Tried all above linked solutions as well, no luck. So, if anyone has any ideas for this noob who’s trying to get this working…

Are you literally using an analog 15 prong VGA cable on that VGA-1 port ? If so, have you tried a different cable ?

A post was split to a new topic: Screen Resolution Issues

Along With @ogra suggestion, This is the second Machine that is using Unity with a wrong Resolution…

I smell a Bug! :bug:

I just upgraded from 24.10 to 25.04 and am experiencing something similar. I can’t get higher resolution than 1024x768. And I had my full 2K about an hour ago.
