It was first introduced in 2010 as Intel HD Graphics and renamed in 2017 as Intel UHD Graphics. Intel Graphics Technology ( GT) is the collective name for a series of integrated graphics processors (IGPs) produced by Intel that are manufactured on the same package or die as the central processing unit (CPU). Modeline '2560x1440x0.0' 241.Core i5 processor with integrated HD Graphics 2000 The last step was to simply add the mode to nf which looks like this: Section 'Monitor' So I tried these mode lines with xrandr and bingo! I suddenly had a working mode line that forced the resolution into 2560 x 1440. I looked in Xorg.log (like I did several times before) but this time, after trying so many combinations of mode lines, I noticed that the listed mode lines were a bit different than those obtained from cvt and gtf. But none of the obtained mode lines worked, so I gave up on xrandr and tried other solutions.Īctually, I even bought a new graphics card, and while unpacking it, I decided to give the existing card a last chance. I tried to obtain the mode lines with cvt and gtf which appeared to be the way to get these. I wrote in my questions that I tried to force the mode with xrandr but got an error. But where on earth is the download link on that page? I really can't find it!ĮDIT: I forgot to mention that I have tried forcing a new resolution with xrandr but I get a xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed when I try to apply the new modes. I can fake an Ubuntu distro by editing lsb-release and then it installs something but still I can't choose the correct resolution in the Displays utility.Īccording to the Intel download center for HD 4600 there is a driver for Linux. There is a Intel graphics installer but when I run it, it says 'Distribution not supported'. Mint 16 boots up in the correct resolution straight from a LiveUSB so something has changed (upstream probably) between the two versions. This post looked promising but the suggestions didn't help. I have spend 3 hours googling around trying different suggestions without luck. Unfortunately it only supports a low resolution of 1920 x 1200 which looks horrible in contrast to the monitor's native 2560 x 1440. I have just installed Linux Mint 17 on my desktop computer with a Intel HD 4600 graphics card.
