Unable to use the native resolution of some displays

Description

When using Intel® chipset graphics, the native resolution of some displays, such as 1920x1080, 1680x1050, and 1440x900, are not available in graphics properties. The display Extended Display Information Data (EDID) does not read properly when connecting to a subset of digital flat panel (DFP) displays.

Solution

Intel has released a graphics driver to specifically address this issue that can have longer than normal resume times from standby. The solution only works with external displays such as DFP displays connected to the VGA of the computer. This driver is not designed to address issues with a built-in laptop display--local flat panel, or with a TV-connected system. Intel provides this driver as is and has not tested, nor guarantees, the operation of the driver for this purpose.

You can choose the appropriate operating system and driver to resolve this issue from the following:
