Hi, is there a way to get higher resolution, that is not listed in opinions in settings? Maximum that I can choose is 1366*768, but my graphic card should be able to have higher resolution than that.. graphic card is: AMD Radeon HD 8210M. Anyone could help me?

Thank you!

I presume you are running Ubuntu 16.04 or 16.10? If that is the case, the driver installed will provide the most optimum resolution. See the second answer for the following post

If your claim "the card is capable of higher resolution" is based on the resolution you get on Windows then the issue is that the open source driver provided is still not capable of doing the resolutions provided by the proprietary driver and my understanding is that there is no solution to this issue until AMD updates its open source drivers.
