 |
|
Currently I want to play a bit with Modelines, so I thought it would be great to test them with xrandr. According to all sources this should work, but it doesn't:
| Code: | $ xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_30.00" 80.18 1920 1984 2176 2432 1080 1081 1084 1099 -HSync +Vsync
$ xrandr --addmode DVI-0 1920x1080_30.00
$ xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1920x1080_30.00
xrandr: cannot find mode 1920x1080_30.00 |
After these commands have executed (and, as you can see, the last failed) this is the output of xrandr:
| Code: | $ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384
DisplayPort-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

In case it is of any help, below is what I have to do because nvidia-drivers is incapable of reading the EDID from my Acer AL1916W external monitor (1440x900).
| Code: | $ cvt 1440 900

| Code: | $ xrandr -q

I don’t know why the connected AL1916W monitor is shown as having only one display mode, and why that mode is 1920×1080. The AL1916W supports several modes up to 1440×900, and these are all displayed by the xrandr command on my Compal laptop with an ATI GPU using ati-drivers. It seems the NVIDIA driver in my Clevo laptop is unable to read the external monitor’s EDID whereas the AMD ATI FGLRX driver in the Compal is able to do so. Anyway I did the following to force the NVIDIA driver to display the Desktop correctly, which I later automated in a Bash script launched from a Desktop Configuration File:
| Code: | $ xrandr --output DisplayPort-1-0 --off
$ xrandr --newmode "1440x900" 106.50 1440 1528 1672 1904 900 903 909 934 -hsync +vsync
$ xrandr --addmode DisplayPort-1-0 1440x900
$ xrandr --output eDP-1-0 --off && xrandr --output DisplayPort-1-0 --mode 1440x900 |

Thanks but that's basically what I already tried. Anyway I think my xrandr and/or driver (r600g if that matters) is somehow broken. When I try to do the same with HDMI it tells me "xrandr: cannot find output 0x48" - it even does that when I try a simple two monitor setup:
| Code: | $ xrandr --output HDMI-0 --auto --right-of DVI-0
xrandr: cannot find output 0x48 |
Ofc. HDMI-0 is connected:
| Code: | $ xrandr -q
xrandr -q

Trying the same with the DEs (LXQT) GUI config doesn't do anything; it just clones the screen, no matter what option I choose.
Did by any chance someone experience the same and knows a workaround? |
