I have Ubuntu 16.04 installed.

I have an Intel G33/G31 Express Chip in my Foxconn desktop computer. The Ubuntu does not detect my analogic monitor Samsung SB19B300B.

This monitor has 1366 x 768 max resolution.

In the System setting Display, Ubuntu only shows me the options 1024 x 768 (4:3) and 800 x 600 (4:3) for resolution and shows me "Unknown display" but DOES NOT show me 16:9 relations for 1366 x 768 resolution (60 Hz).

When I run the recommendations of "How to set a custom resolution?" I obtain this results:

root@tomas-OEM:/home/tomas# cvt 1366 768 60
# 1368x768 59.88 Hz (CVT) hsync: 47.79 kHz; pclk: 85.25 MHz
Modeline "1368x768_60.00"   85.25  1368 1440 1576 1784  768 771 781 798 -hsync +vsync

root@tomas-OEM:/home/tomas#  xrandr --newmode "1368x768_60.00"   85.25  1368 1440 1576 1784  768 771 781 798 -hsync +vsync

root@tomas-OEM:/home/tomas# xrandr --addmode VGA-0 1368x768_60.00
xrandr: cannot find output "VGA-0"

root@tomas-OEM:/home/tomas# xrandr | grep -e " connected [^(]" | sed -e "s/\([A-Z0-9]\+\) connected.*/\1/"
VGA1

root@tomas-OEM:/home/tomas# xrandr -s 1368x768
Size 1368x768 not found in available modes

Use as a temporary solution while finding a better way:

I create a script with the commands:

xrandr --newmode "1368x768_60.00" 85.25 1368 1440 1576 1784 768 771 781 798 -hsync + vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA1 1368x768_60.00
xrandr -s 1368x768

I set it as executable and I add it to the "applications at startup" But I do not think it's good because the start takes more time and works like OS windows performance!
