I have the laptop screen set at a low res. anyway and ive tryied working with other settings on here, I mean do I need to download the chipset display or something? Totally and utterly lost I just want the correct resolution.

    Hi and Welcome !

    Open Terminal/Konsole and execute this
    Code:
    sudo lspci | grep -i vga
grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    Post output here.

    * X is Capital in X11.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
