To make it persistent, I left the system files alone and created a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and filled it with: Section "Monitor" Identifier "VGA-1" Modeline "1440x900_60.00" 106.50 1440 1528 1672 1904 900 903 909 934 -hsync +vsync EndSection Proper resolution for every user. Currently w/ Debian 11 Bullseye
mine is already 1280x1024 i just wanted 1280x720 or 1920x1080 when i record a video or something in windows it was filling up and down with black but in linux it stretched the view and it became so bad
Is the anyway to discover the best resolution for my monitor? When I use 1920x1080 everthing becomes small and I can't see some stuffs in screen. Any tip?
whenever I use the xrandr --newmode command I get the error: X Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist) Major opcode of failed request: 141 (RANDR) Minor opcode of failed request: 16 (RRCreateMode) Serial number of failed request: 55 Current serial number in output stream: 55
just use a different name jump straight to adding step, you have already defined one with "1920x1080" name, change it to "1920x1080pfdf" or sometihng else
the newmode command dosent work it just says an error where it says badname i dont know if you have any account so i can send you the pictures of it and i cant delete the mode i put without knowing how to put that looks glitched in the xrandr resolution list
Unfortunately this didn't work and gave me an error: X Error of failed request: BadValue After searching and searching it seems to be a NVIDIA issue but my graphics card is Intel. These steps use to work and I had a screen resolution that I wanted and added but after upgrading to from 20.04 to 22.04 it doesn't work and my screen flickers pretty badly quite often, until I move my mouse.
So the commands to add the resolution I desire worked great. Unfortunately when I tried the "gedit ~/.profile" command I get "bash: gedit: command not found" Just curious what to do next this is my first linux/debian OS
I have Ubuntu 22.04 Desktop running in a VirtualBox hosted on an Ubuntu 20.04. I have followed this excellent tutorial step by step, but my custom resolution does not show in the display settings (I have tried 1920x924, which I have on an Ubuntu 18.04 in VirtualBox, and 1920x960).
ACER Aspire E1. I can force the resolution change, but cannot get it to stick. Adding to Gedit just gives me a warning message and tells me to correct the problem. The monitor is only capable of 1366x768. Which is a dumb resolution to begin with.
It keeps failing for me while saying "invalid parameter attributes". The resolution works automatically on windows but xrandr just keeps spitting in my face when I try it.
I have used this method on Peppermint and Ubuntu but just tried it on Zorin 16 and it is not saving, when I restart it drops back to the lower resolution.

Hi, Thanks for such clear instructions. However, as soon as I applied the new resolution 1920 x1080, the screen went dark and the mouse just kept flashing. I had to force a shut down. Any ideas? I have a 27" iiyama prolite monitor. Thanks
Thank you very much. I use this to fix the same problem with my HTPC with Linux Mint connected to a 40" TV. Also I didn't have to edit the "profile" file for the change to persist after a reboot.
I'm very new to Linux, hope someone can help out. When I get to the part where we need to run gedit ~/.profile the file that opens is empty, it doesn't have any text in it. Any idea of what I might be doing wrong? Thanks!
hey, i ran the commands but it didn't work. It did most of the stuff it needed to, but never added the resolution to the settings menu. What should I do? I'm using a base install of linux, not a VM.
@@felvte370 found a work-around. When you're logging in, click the small settings gear in the corner, then swap the type of login. It should work after that. Though it might change the name of your display. Mine was XWAYLAND0, but changed to VGA-0 when I swapped.
@@felvte370 hm. I use ubuntu, and I'm still pretty new to linux. I'll see what I can dig up for ya though online. You got discord or snap so we dont gotta use yt comments?
Thank you! My monitor is capable of getting 75 hz on 1280x720 but neither linux nor windows defautly show that. I tried to use cru but tar.gz files and it was complicated. Stumbled across this and it worked
Very good quality video, understandable, easy and simple. my laptop support 1600x900 but when I try this video and I got 1920x1080 Resolution. Thank you so much!
After I select and apply the screen resolution, it changes to the right size, but only for half a second and it goes back to 800x600 (in 20 years I never had this problem). Great tutorial though --this was my first "big problem" when I started with Linux.
@@muhammadbelal2453 Paste next command: xrandr --output Virtual1 --mode "1280x720_60.00" ---> in this place paste your resolution Activate Seamless mode - Host + L and then change to fullscreen mode. Worked for me suprisingly :P Edit: OK, almost - I have 1280x680 resolution :D Why!? :D
am folosit metoda asta in trecut ca sa apara cum trebuie monitorul pentru ca ubuntu si distrourile asemănătoare nu prea le plac faptul ca am 2 monitoare dintr-un anumit motiv
Hey thanks for this video was really helpful but for me I needed an extra command to apply the new resolution to my laptop xrandr --output monitornamehere --mode "1920x1080_60.00"
@@adewgg6862 you can probably try but with the modset problem I had was that I have a Ryzen APU (mobile) with an Nvidia GPU which has basically no driver compatibility in linux. You might be able to get it to work
Pls, i need help. I use an Nvidia gpu. For me xrandr has never worked, but i fixed the resolution modifing the xorg.conf file. This modify works just on Ubuntu, but i need 1920×1080 in Fedora too.
