Hello there, I have Lenovo ThinkPad T430 laptop with integrated Intel graphics and FlexScan S2431W monitor.

/Mine version is "Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon 64-bit"/

When I connect external monitor through VGA connector and go to 'Display' settings I dont have option to set resolution for external monitor that I want. There are just to optiions available (800x600 and 1024x768). My laptop res is 1600x900 and external monitor res is 1920x1200. That is shown on a picture bellow.

Is there anyway/command I can set the desired resolution on my external monitor
