Resolution change in Ubuntu Mate 18.04

Asked by Malathi

I'm using Ubuntu Mate 18.04 in Raspberry Pi 3b+. My display window is too large , please help me to minimize the screen resolution. I followed some methods suggested in internet

1. I changed the screen resolution using "sudo raspi-config" . I have tried all the resolutions in screen resolution option(including Default, CEA, DMT)

2. I changed the disable_overscan=1 in /boot/config.txt

3. I tried to change manually for resolution in display settings.

But still I didn't get the screen resolution changed.

Help me to solve this.

So I'm guessing the resolution is too low and everything is really big? Is this the case?
Is the OS fully updated?

Yes,the screen is very big.
I have updated os fully now and again changed the screen resolution using "sudo raspi-config",but screen resolution is not changed.
