Not sure since i've not experienced the problem.
But in case you haven't already, try:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'xrandr -s 1920x1080
# 'DISPLAY=:0 xrandr -s 1920x1080' (if using SSH or TTY)')
in a terminal or tty. Which
should to set the resolution to 1920x1080
if not, get some info by typing just:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'xrandr
# 'DISPLAY=:0 xrandr' (if using SSH or TTY)')
which might give you some clues as to what might be going on.
