Gustav H Meyer, as per
http://www.dell.com/support/troubleshooting/us/en/19/Product/latitude-e6220
an update is available for your BIOS (A12). If you update to this, does
it change anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Thank you for your understanding.

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete

Title:
  Not getting native resolution on external monitor after installing
  kernel update

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I can only get maximum resolution of 1024x768 on a Dell 19" Monitor
  with Dell Latitude E6220 after installing latest kernel updates and a
  reboot which is a regression after having been able to work at much
  higher resolution since getting the laptop some time ago.
