Again this @#£$&#£ Dell Optiplex 760. I can't go above 1024x768
screen size.
In KDE -> System Settings -> Display
only VGA appears connected, while HDMI-2 appears disconnected.

I've tried to add higher resolutions in the relevant section of
/etc/X11/xorg.conf, but still can't see any resolution above 1024x768.
In Xorg.0.log I can find this line
(II) intel(0): Integrated Graphics Chipset: Intel(R) Q45/Q43
Here's my complete Xorg.0.log:

Suggestions? Thanks.

Maybe you need something like 915resolution:

That conclusion seems to agree with what is written in Xorg.0.log:

(II) intel(0): Output VGA connected
(II) intel(0): Output HDMI-2 disconnected

Which might be explained by some earlier lines:

(II) intel(0): Output VGA using monitor section Monitor0
(II) intel(0): Output HDMI-2 has no monitor section

> (II) intel(0): Integrated Graphics Chipset: Intel(R) Q45/Q43

Unfortunately 915resolution does not seem to support that chipset. Maybe
it would help to try another intel driver from /extra instead?

I had the same, I solved generating a modeline with this command:

gtf 1366 768 60

Then creating a minimal xorg.conf in /etc/X11:

-------------------------------------
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
Modeline "1368x768_60.00" 85.86 1368 1440 1584 1800 768 769 772 795
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
Subsection "Display"
Modes "1368x768"
EndSubsection
EndSection
-------------------------------------

I had to add krandrtray to the Autostart dir, anyway.

Hope this helps
