I just installed Kubuntu 14.04 on my HP laptop, but the resolution is off. Everything is way too big...and when i go to my settings, the only resolution available is 800x600....Can anyone please help me fix that.
Also, i have searched online but have not found anything that helps.
You need to change graphic driver. Unfortunately you provided not enough information to give you correct answer. With what you said I can only suspect that you probably don't have intel build in graphic card. It should work immediately. I assume you have nvidia or ati graphic card.
If yes go to Settings > Repositories > Additional Drivers tab and select the correct driver, and click Apply changes.
