Problem
Im running Ubuntu on a new computer that has 2 HDMI ports. One provided by a dedicated graphics card and the other from the motherboard. When the graphics card is driving the HDMI output the computer works great. I want to keep this graphics card free for processing so Im trying to work with the other HDMI port. When I use the motherboard HDMI port the display resolution i very low and I am not able to login. Ubuntu starts to load and then returns back to the login screen and I am stuck in that loop.
