1)this the output for lspci -v of the graphic card that shows that there is no kernel driver in use:

I know that nvidia driver will solve the issue, but for one side I fear the nvidia driver installation will not be successful and make trouble for the system...I will try with the suggestions you gave, in fact there is a lot of discussion on google thanks

2)here some outputs of the link you sent me:

What X driver are you using? I seem to remember that the vesa/VGA drivers only supported 4:3 ratios or something like that, which might explain this behavior. If you're using Intel or similar, it might be that your EDID info is not being reported properly (or something doesn't know how to read it correctly. I can't really say). This[1] explains how to add undetected resolutions. Google also had much more info.
