I tried the posts in Screen resolution stuck at 1024x768 but they didn't seem to help.

In my display settings, I am unable to see any other resolution besides 1024 x 768.

The output of xrandr is

xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 1024 x 768, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768
default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm
   1024x768      76.00*

and the output for xrandr -q

xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 1024 x 768, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768

   1024x768      76.00*

        h: width  1280 start 1368 end 1496 total 1712 skew    0 clock  63.67KHz
        v: height 1024 start 1027 end 1034 total 1063           clock  59.89Hz

I am connected via a display port cable. Could someone please assist?

  • Please [edit] your question and add output of lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display' terminal command. – Pilot6 Aug 13 '20 at 15:11
  • @Pilot6 Got it. Just edited it in. – David Aug 13 '20 at 15:17
  • Do you think the capability of the graphics card + monitor should be greater than 1024x768? – wallyk Aug 13 '20 at 15:21
  • @wallyk Yes because I have gotten much higher resolution on this monitor before on the same machine last year (I rarely use this machine now). The monitor is an Elite Display E240q. I plugged this monitor into my mac just now using an HDMI cable (my linux machine doesn't have an HDMIT port) and was able to get a lot higher resolution. – David Aug 13 '20 at 15:30
  • @wallyk My guess is something is outdated with my graphics driver. But I'm not sure how to diagnose that – David Aug 13 '20 at 15:33
  • Are you using nomodeset in grub. It looks like you do. Please add output of cat /etc/default/grub. – Pilot6 Aug 13 '20 at 16:26
