How to set Linux Display Resolution- How to fix unsupported screen resolution in Linux

[@codelucky]

Failed to get size of gamma for output default when trying to add new screen resolution

[@leocrawf]

Thank you so much for this. What worked for me was xrandr --output eDP1 --mode 1920x1080

[@leocrawf]

it is not permanent for me though. The resolution went to the original after restart.

[@biringen]

@@leocrawf you need add som lines in Gedit…
first in terminal
apt install gedit
type inn gedit ~/.profile
then at bottom line in new vindow type in
xrandr --newmode "1600x900_60.00" 118.25 1600 1696 1856 2112 900 903 908 934 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA1 1600x900_60.00
save file and now it should work after next reboot

Hi! Commands shown on this video work perfectly right. I don't know if retarting my PC would turn back to the default values but if it does I'm planning to turn this tuto a bash script so that it can be run every time my PC boots :/
Thank you!

Hi. I trying do this in my Mint for my 4k TV(HDMI cable) but after last command is failure! - $ xrandr --output HDMI-1-1 --mode "3840x2160_60.00"
xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed ??? Although i can see new resolution (3840x2160) in my display settings when i apply i got black screen(of death :)?! Any ideas? THX.

[@user-ze4ub6ci2c]

hi bro, i have the same problem.. Did you find a (re)solution ? ;)

[@BoB-mb3fw]

@@user-ze4ub6ci2c Hi. No (re)solution for me i'm afraid. Founded only couple of possible answers on linux forums, like hardware problems -laptops(my case although never got problems in Win 7 , always 4k). It can be software issue as well like drivers . Again my gtx 765m works fine in Win 7 4k. Checked my nvidia drivers for L. mint, i got latest for my rig -390.116 but seems no 4k support. I givin up. I can live with full HD "only" : ) Try with your rig, check your gpu, drivers or support. Good luck.
