I'm a Linux newbie entirely and I'm having resolution issues with my GPU. I don't want to install non-free drivers, so I was wondering if there was a way to do it in terminal, or I could edit xorg.config
I'm a newbie, so you'll have to walk me through. I ran lspci|grep VGA to find out what gpu I had, and I have this:
[Radeon HD 6520G]

Radeon drivers are the worst among the popular video card brands (the other two being nVidia and Intel, the best). You can try (no guarantee it will work) to update the Linux kernel (hence the "nouveau" drivers for your card) to version 3.11. To do so, you only need to install (using the "Synaptic package manager" for instance) the package named "linux-generic-lts-saucy".

You can also try to update the rest of the graphical stack (although there may be some package conflicts issues) by installing:
libegl1-mesa-lts-saucy
libgles1-mesa-lts-saucy
libgles2-mesa-lts-saucy
xserver-xorg-lts-saucy
