| Running Ubuntu 12.04 64bit, does anyone have a resolution greater than 1024x768 using the inbuilt graphics of an intel cpu? |

You might want to supply more details about your graphics hardware.
Open a terminal and note what is reported by the 'xrandr' command.
It is also useful to examine the contents of var/log/Xorg.0.log for any errors. |

The graphics are HD4000 from an i5-3570k processor (ivy bridge).
I know the processor and monitor can handle higher resolutions as I have got them to work under windows 7. But I want to use this machine ad purely linux. |

And it is possible that your monitor is not recognized properly so you may have to play with Xorg.config.
Enjoy the Choice  |

Just came to the same conclusion as I have just noticed that in system settings > display it says the display is laptop. Only just seen that.
Now all I have to do is find the spec for the monitor. |
