I tried installing ubuntu 16.04 on ASUS GL502VM but I am getting 800x600 resolution but the screen resolution is 1920x1080 which is disturbing. I tried changing it from the display preferences but I see no other options. what should I do?

You can add missing resolutions to Ubuntu 12.04 using xrandr.

First, use cvt to create a new resolution mode

sudo cvt 1920 1080 60

Part of the output should be similar to this: "Modeline "1920x1080_60.00" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync" (w/o the quotes).

Next, declare a new resolution mode.

sudo xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync

Next, find out the name of your video device.

sudo xrandr -q

For me,It was VGA1.Your name should something like this. Once you know the name of your device, you can, finally, add your new resolution mode to the device/system.N.B.YOu need to change VGA1 as yours.

sudo xrandr --addmode VGA1 1920x1080_60.00

Expecting this will help you. If you want more Adding Undetected Resoulation
