Title:
  Graphics issue, IntelHD

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hey, I've stumbled into an issue after upgrading from Ubuntu 14.04 to Ubuntu 14.10.
  My resolution is forced into 1280x768 and there are no other options.
  After furiously Googling for the last 3 days, I've resorted to asking the community in the hopes that they can help me.

  Running `apt-cache policy xorg` returns
  ```
  xorg:
    Installed: 1:7.7+1ubuntu8.1
    Candidate: 1:7.7+7ubuntu2
    Version table:
       1:7.7+7ubuntu2 0
          500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ utopic/main amd64 Packages
   *** 1:7.7+1ubuntu8.1 0
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
  ```

  I have 2 monitors - the primary one built into my laptop (Acer Aspire 5749 - normally running 1368x768) and a slave connected via VGA (a generic Dell - normally running 1280x1024).
  Since updating, when checking in System Settings -> Screen Display, only 1 monitor is detected (the built-in). However, if I plug in the slave screen, they're mirrored but the settings still only declare 1 screen exists (when booting, or when logged in)

  I believe this *might* be a graphic driver issue, but Software Updates
  -> Additional Drivers shows absolutely nothing. All of Canonical and
  Ubuntu's sources have been enabled and still, nothing can be found.

  Please, for the sake of my own sanity, help! -.-
