Need Help with screen resolution/clarity MINT KDE 17.2

Stosskraft · 09-29-2015, 08:36 PM

Hello all, I just bought a new HP all in one with 23' LED display. I have just installed linux mint 17 and did the upgrade to 17.2. Now the display looks terrible, everything is fuzzy and not clear. However when I right click on the desktop to change the wall paper, I can display wall paper at 5312x2976 yet in the display settings I am limited to : 192ox1080

Code:

xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 32767 x 32767
eDP1 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 510mm x 287mm
   1920x1080      59.0*+
   1680x1050      60.0     59.9  
   1600x1024      60.2  
   1400x1050      60.0  
   1280x1024      60.0  
   1440x900       59.9  
   1280x960       60.0  
   1360x768       59.8     60.0  
   1152x864       60.0  
   1024x768       60.0  
   800x600        60.3     56.2  
   640x480        59.9  
VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

But I am lost besides that. Please help

Then you should try to install the version 17.2.

Already on 17.2 says the subject.

Any ideas? Should I try a different version of Mint? I think it is the intel drivers?

Try to make a fresh install of Mint 17.2.

Hi,

I have done a fresh install in 17.2 again.

I have also tried on live usb : Kubuntu, Cinnomon, Mint Mate

All have the same problem.

The Windows 8.1 that came pre installed on the computer was perfect, really incredible display on this computer. After using linux on my PC's I am going to have to reinstall windows as it just seems to work and doesn't look like a '80s amiga on a new $1000 machine.
