  1. According to the manufacturers documentation 1366x768 is the max resolution. Any resolution that is higher would not be supported by your hardware.

  2. Drivers for your Intel Graphics are already installed and working as they are open source and included by default in Ubuntu.

    Lenovo G500 came with 1366x768 native resolution (it cannot be exceeded in that particular screen).

    Other external displays may support higher resolutions - the graphics chipset certainly support much more - but whether or not you can set them to their native resolution (recommended) depends on your screen settings. Mirroring limits the resolution to the lower one which in this case is the native resolution of the internal display.
