You can try to “force” the resolution on the output. Open a Terminal, then run:
xrandr
This will display some information about the connected displays. Remember the output (like HDMI-1). Then run:
xrandr --newmode "1920x1080" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode HDMI-1 1920x1080
xrandr --output HDMI-1 --mode 1920x1080
You need to replace the values here with your actual values. To calculate those Numbers, use the Tool cvt with the desired parameters, something like:
cvt 1920 1080 60
Will give you the parameters:
Modeline "1920x1080_60.00" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync
Grab them from here. If this works for you tell me, then we will write a script which runs on bootup to set this automatically.
