I have installed Debian 7.2 from liveUSB and connected the monitor Samsung SyncMaster SA850 with DVI cable into integrated Intel HD graphics. However I have very low resolution and can't change it. In addition, the system doesn't want to shut down (drivers update didn't help). With VGA cable everything works fine.



Configuration: I have ASUS H87-Pro motherboard and Intel Core i7-4770K.
Linux kernel 3.2.0-4-amd64

Try adding the resolution manually using xrandr:




  1. List the screens available on your system:



    xrandr



    Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1600 x 900, maximum 8192 x 8192

    LVDS1 connected 1600x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
    [list of supported resolutions]

    VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

    HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

    DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)





  2. xrandr expects a "ModeLine", which you can compute from a given resolution using cvt. I will be using your monitor's maximum resolution as an example (make sure your graphics card supports it):



    cvt 2560 1440



    # 2560x1440 59.96 Hz (CVT 3.69M9) hsync: 89.52 kHz; pclk: 312.25 MHz

    Modeline "2560x1440_60.00" 312.25 2560 2752 3024 3488 1440 1443 1448 1493 -hsync +vsync





  3. Use the ModeLine from above to create a new mode:



    xrandr --newmode "2560x1440_60.00" 312.25 2560 2752 3024 3488 1440 1443 1448 1493 -hsync +vsync



  4. Add the newly created mode to the graphic output you want to use (see the xrandr output from step 1), then switch to it:



    xrandr --addmode DVI-I-0 "2560x1440_60.00"
    xrandr --output DVI-I-0 --mode "2560x1440_60.00"


If this fails, you might need to reboot your system to discard the change.

If it succeeds, add the --newmode, --addmode and --output commands to the .profile in your home directory, so they will be applied automatically when you log in.
