I am trying to get the resolution on an old laptop normal. The laptop is a HP G72-a10SB with a 1600x900 screen, however, I get a stretched-out lower resolution. The only 2 options in System settings > Displays are 1024 x 768 (4:3) (selected) and 800 x 600 (4:3).
Here is some information:
From the HP website:
Video Graphics: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 Graphics (switchable)
Video Memory: up to 2714 MB total graphics memory with 1 GB DDR3 dedicated
Display: 43.9 cm (17.3") diagonal HD+ High-Definition LED HP BrightView Display (1600 x 900)
xrandr output:
siyck@siyck-laptop:~$ xrandr
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 800 x 600, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768

No fglrx installed:
siyck@siyck-laptop:~$ cd /usr/share/ati
bash: cd: /usr/share/ati: No such file or directory
Just making sure:
siyck@siyck-laptop:~$ dpkg -s xorg-driver-fglrx
dpkg-query: package 'xorg-driver-fglrx' is not installed and no information is available
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.
siyck@siyck-laptop:~$ dpkg -s fglrx
dpkg-query: package 'fglrx' is not installed and no information is available
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.
Not too sure what this means but I guess it's not installed:
siyck@siyck-laptop:~$ locate fglrx
/usr/share/app-install/desktop/fglrx-driver.desktop
/usr/share/apport/package-hooks/source_fglrx-installer-experimental-9.py
/usr/share/apport/package-hooks/source_fglrx-installer-updates.py
/usr/share/apport/package-hooks/source_fglrx-installer.py
Can't add a new mode to xrandr:
siyck@siyck-laptop:~$ cvt 1600 900

siyck@siyck-laptop:~$ xrandr --newmode "1600x900_60.00" 118.25 1600 1696 1856 2112 900 903 908 934 -hsync +vsync
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
X Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist)
Major opcode of failed request: 140 (RANDR)
Minor opcode of failed request: 16 (RRCreateMode)

I'm using GNOME3
siyck@siyck-laptop:~$ gnome-shell --version
GNOME Shell 3.6.3.1
Also, the laptop does not detect screens I connect to its VGA port.
Some help or pointers?
