[Solved]display resolution

Sanssystemd · 2017-06-01 15:45:49

Hi;

I've recently installed Jessie 1.0 on my i3 machine and it works great, but there is a slight problem with the
resolution of my monitor (HP L1906) i the machine doesn't seem to detect the correct resoluton of my monitor (1280x1024).

I've tried several ways to correct the situation without any result.
Up till now i use a with cvt generated mode-line to set the right resolution after login.

Is there a way to tell the xserver to use the correct resolution?, i've tried xorg.conf, xinitrc, xprofile, with no result.

thanks in advance for any help on this matter.

Hi! On my .xinitrc /home i use this command for a single monitor.

xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1280x1024 --rate 75

My resolution is 1280x1024 as well. This is my xrandr output.

xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 4096 x 4096
VGA1 connected 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 376mm x 301mm
   1280x1024     60.02 +  75.02* 
   1152x864      75.00  
   1024x768      75.08    60.00  
   800x600       75.00    60.32  
   640x480       75.00    60.00  
   720x400       70.08

Tried lxrandr?

I put this in my xorg.conf to get 1280x1024 (get the appropriate modeline from xrandr):

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier "Monitor0"
	VendorName "Acer"
	ModelName "V173"
	HorizSync 30 - 81
	VertRefresh 56 - 75
Modeline "1280x1024_60.00"  109.00  1280 1368 1496 1712  1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier "Device0"
	Driver "intel"
	VendorName "Intel 82/G33"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier "Screen0"
	Device "Device0"
	Monitor "Monitor0"
	DefaultDepth 24
	SubSection "Display"
		Depth 24
		Modes "1280x1024"
	EndSubSection
EndSection

@OP

Maybe just GPU driver isn't functioning, which might explain this behavior. Guess could be whatever without logs provided.

You are right about the logs so here is my X log

I've tried everything suggested but alas nothing worked, if i start a terminal and use xrandr newmode, addmode and output i get the desired setting of 1280x1024, but not at startup.

Thanks for the suggestions

If xrandr works, well remove xorg.conf if you have any first (as that takes priority over .d dir) and try like this:

sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-prefmode.conf

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier  "Monitor-VGA1"
	VendorName	"HP"
	ModelName	"L1906"
	HorizSync	30 - 83
	VertRefresh	50 - 76    
	Modeline	"1280x1024"  108.88  1280 1360 1496 1712  1024 1025 1028 1060  -HSync +Vsync    
	Option		"PreferredMode"  "1280x1024"
EndSection

I guess PreferredMode would force this, hopefully.

I've tried your suggestion but this didn't work either.
But i found another solution and that did the trick
I first created the file xprofile in my home directory, with these xrandr commands in it;

xrandr --newmode "1280x1024"  109.00  1280 1368 1496 1712  1024 1027 1034 1063 -Hsync +Vsync

xrandr --addmode VGA1 1280x1024

xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1280x1024  --rate 60

And then i put this in my /etc/X11/Xsessions;

test -f ~/.xprofile && . ~/xprofile

I bumped in to this while searching for answers
But anyway thanks for the help

Cool, but hm i can't say what is the difference Maybe only VertRefresh, you can try to cap it to 60 instead of 76 so that does not go up for any res or something like that happen it seems.

I think the difference is not so much in the used xrandr commands but more that the changes are invoked by the user or by the whole system, if you put this file in '/etc/X11' and source it in Xsessions like so;

test -f /etc/X11/.xprofile && . /etc/X11/.xprofile

I could leave the '--rate 60 setting' out and it still would work.

more i915 problems here, i see.
My installation identifies the monitor as a 22" generic something, when all other distributions I've tried identified it correctly as a 32" Hyundai.
The dpi for a 1920x1024 resolution seem really crappy, like 4 pixels act as one.

Update
Lightdm and lxde seem to be able to produce much better graphics than what I experienced initially in xfce
