I have an HP Pavilion monitor with native resolution of 2560x1440. When performing a recent upgrade on Ubuntu 16.04, the kernel went from 4.10 to 4.13, which limited the resolution of the HP monitor to something like 1280x1024. A Samsung monitor with a resolution of 2048x1152 was unaffected.
I am running on a Zotac with KabyLake i3 processor. An output of lspci shows a graphics processor:
VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 5916 (rev 02)
Switching back to kernel 4.10 restored the normal monitor resolution. Is there anything that can be done to fix this problem with the 4.13 kernel? Should I just keep using the older kernel until a newer kernel update is available?
Thanks, Scott
