I can't activate full hd

Hello everyone. I am really VERY NEW to the linux environment and I have a problem installing. Everything ok as long as the display remains at a resolution of 1368x768.
If it will help in attached display specs prompt:
bera@bera-HP-G62-Notebook-PC:~$ sudo lshw -c video

Google Translate is acting up, it says you've written the above in English. I was able to cobble together what you wrote by switching between Spanish and French in Google Translate.

You should be able to get better resolution than 1368x768.

Open Terminal, and enter:
xrandr

Let us know what it says.

This user also was recently having issues with that card:

I have double and triple checked and that card is 100% verified working on the Ubuntu 5.8 through 5.13 kernel.
But now we are seeing some issues. A regression maybe?
Might be worth rolling the kernel back and testing.
And we should continue to monitor for any more issues with the Radeon 5400 series.

I don't believe it, sorry for the Italian post earlier. I was pretty tired last night and messed up the translation.... Attached I leave the xrandr output:

Just curious, what is your native monitor screen resolution?
According to google it should be max at 1366 x 768 (for HP-G62-Notebook-PC)

There are really many g62 models (some lost in some google article) including mine with 1920x1080.
However I solved it simply with sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade. I had already done it yesterday when the installation was done but I probably had some background process that had not finished yet. Now it works fine and in full hd! Thank you all!

Now I see..., you mean another type G62-xxx, yeah I know, some time the way manufacturer is naming their product is unpredictable and confusing costumer.

Wow, that good for you, and don't forget to mark this post as solved
