Intel® HD Graphics 4600 (HSW GT2) 1920x1080 resolution not work

I have a Intel® Core™ i5-4590 CPU which has an integrated Intel® HD Graphics 4600 (HSW GT2) GPU and I have installed Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS with it.

My monitor resolution is 1920x1080 but Ubuntu just show me 1024x768 and 800x600 resolutions.

So I searched for solution and due to this answer I do as follow:

  1. cvt 1920 1080

  2. sudo xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync

  3. sudo xrandr --addmode VGA-1 "1920x1080_60.00"

After that I go to display menu and see 1920x1080 is added, but when I choose it my screen freezes the first time with a blinking mouse pointer. I try it again and it just revert my choice after Apply and nothing changes.

I searched a lot and find some solution like removing xserver-xorg-video-intel package, or changing /etc/X11/xorg.conf which is not available anymore, that leads to nothing.

I will show more information, maybe leads you to solution.

xrandr:

lspci |grep -i vga:
