I have an external monitor capable of 3440 x 1440 resolution. Up until about a week ago, I was using it just fine at that resolution on Ubuntu 18.04.2.

Now it won't let me go above 2560 x 1080 (anything lower than this works just fine too). When I try 3440 x 1440, the screen goes black and I have to revert to a lower resolution. I assume it was a recent software update that caused this, although I am not sure what. Any ideas what I should try?

$ sudo lshw -c video
