Monitor is detected as laptop

I recently installed Ubuntu. My monitor is detected as a laptop and I can't change my resolution higher than 1024x768. My monitor is 1440x900.

Could it be as simple as a driver issue? Have you looked for restricted drivers that might be available for the graphic card you're using? (You can do this from the "restricted drivers" option in the menus)

I can't find a "restricted drivers" option.

What happens when you run the following sudo command?

sudo jockey-gtk

What happens when you run the following sudo command?

sudo jockey-gtk

It says
(jockey-gtk:2023): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_icon_set_render_icon_pixbuf: assertion `icon_set != NULL' failed

(jockey-gtk:2023): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_icon_set_render_icon_pixbuf: assertion `icon_set != NULL' failed

then opens a program called additional drivers, which says no proprietary drivers are in use on this system.

google around "ubuntu yourmonitormodel"

often such kind of issue is due to how the monitor is linked (vga/hdmi/...) or the cord itself.

and which is the graphic card/chipset used ?

is your monitor connected directly to the computer or is there a kvm switch in between? ...believe it or not, but this can make a difference (and can be cured).
