14.04 display problem - Hanspree Monitor

[Wayne Hartmann]

Top menu is nto displayed; if I curser under bezzel in top -right and click, I will see drop down, else not seen.

 Left Icons are only partially visible even when adjusting All Settings - Displays - Scale for menu ...

Detect Displays find " HannStar Display Corp 27", no other choices, I have a HANNSPREE 1075 connected (a 28" LCD) worksm fine with Windows and worked with Ubuntu in many many previous versions, certainly 13.10 and earlier, think I've had it since 2011.

Reported problem 4/20 and have heard nothing.

Wayne Hartmann, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3423#bios an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (F5). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?

If it doesn't, 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

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette .

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New.

Thank you for your understanding.
