Instead, it defines a higher-resolution display on the netbook&#8217;s VGA port, and scales it to the LCD.<\/p>\n<p>You are not restricted to &#8220;standard&#8221; resolutions. Values like 1100&#215;730 or 1350&#215;900 or even 1400&#215;700 will work just fine (and a few-pixel adjustment automatically applied if needed). Setting to &#8216;default&#8217; will return everything back to normal. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/set-new-screen-resolution.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/set-new-screen-resolution.jpg\" alt=\"set-new-screen-resolution\" width=\"276\" height=\"199\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2641\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This script can also be run directly from the command line, as in &#8220;newrez 1280&#215;800&#8221; or &#8220;newrez default&#8221;. This makes it a simple matter to switch to create scripts or icons that set your most common resolutions, or to include resolution changes into other scripts or launchers.<\/p>\n<p><b>NOTE: At present, this will not work if you use the vendor-supplied Nvidia or ATI driver.<\/p>\n<p>If the laptop lid is closed and re-opened, you MAY find the the mouse is constrained to an area the size of the default resolution. This is caused by xrandr.
