Changing the screen resolution on 12.04

  • 772

I am running 12.04 within Parallels 7 on an 11" MacBook Air.

I'm trying to set the display resolution to the native 1366 x 768 but Ubuntu doesn't list this as an option. How can I add the correct resolution to the options?

12.04

    In a terminal:

    sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

    Search for the line with quiet splash, and change it to quiet splash nomodeset. Save the file.
    Then:

    sudo update-grub

    Reboot your VM.

    In most of the cases this will help.
