have recently purchased a new monitor that supports resolution : 2560 x 1440
- however currently I can only get : 1920 x 1200
I'm running CInnamon 18.1 64 bit
graphics card is : Radeon HD 5450
- I understand that support for ATI stuff has changed since the move to Mint 18.1
Is there a possibility of increasing the resolution in my current setup?
... is there an update due out shortly that will help this ?
or
am I looking at replacing the graphics card?
must admit I like ATi cards due to the OpenSource drivers support, where as nVidia don't (?)
any help appreciated

the 3rd line in the terminal caused the display to black out ...
so created the new xorg.conf file, then restarted
I then ran the 3 xrandr commands again ... and the display changed on the last command, and went very pixelated ...
restarted, the xorg.conf file is there
but the resolution remains at : 1920 x 1200
... should the 1st line newmode have the R in the resolution ?
... ditto for the output ?

The values are identical to the first Modeline used, which was from the monitor's EDID.
Try using a standard Modeline created with this command:

the first line in terminal, came up with an error that xrandr doesn't recognise -hsync

- then had to remove the xorg.conf file.
I'm actually wondering if there is an issue with this version of Linux Mint based on 16.04 (?)
- I noticed that several people had tried something similar, but had skipped to Ubuntu's latest release, and all was OK ... ?

Re: Radeon HD5450 / Cinnamon 18.1 64bit - screen resolution
That's the first time I've ever seen that message. The flags -hsync and +hsync, along with -vsync and +vsync are used all the time in Modelines.Ajc wrote:the first line in terminal, came up with an error that xrandr doesn't recognise -hsync
You can download that version, install it to a DVD or USB and then run a Live Session to test the monitor, without doing an actual installation to disk.Ajc wrote:I'm actually wondering if there is an issue with this version of Linux Mint based on 16.04 (?)

I suggest testing these commands, which have a different format. 2560x1440_60 is changed to 2560x1440_60.00

xrandr --newmode "2560x1440_60.00" 241.50 2560 2608 2640 2720 1440 1443 1448 1481 +hsync -vsync
xrandr --addmode HDMI-0 "2560x1440_60.00"
xrandr --output HDMI-0 --mode "2560x1440_60.00" If that fails, then try a 50 Hz refresh rate. Here are the two xorg.conf files to use:

Hi roblm
think you're right about my particular Radeon Card ... it's a Sapphire, and I'm wondering if the HDMI connection I'm on is actually the highest resolution it supports.
So, I'll have a look at getting something that supports a higher resolution on HDMI.
I'm currently looking at 2 cards ... do you mind me asking if you'd recommend either of the following ... ??
a) XFX Radeon R7 240 : http://amzn.to/2nWBPXs
b) Gigabyte nVidia GT 710 : http://amzn.to/2nWvjzM
Cheers

Re: Radeon HD5450 / Cinnamon 18.1 64bit - screen resolution
Did you test all the methods in my previous post? I suggest doing that first.
After doing some research, I think the two graphics cards are close in performance, with a slight edge to the Radeon, but that's only true for Windows. There's a lot of wrong and outdated info on the Internet but I think the HDMI output on both graphics cards should support your monitor's 2560x1440 resolution and both also have a dual-link DVI output, which supports up to 2560x1600.
I have a GeForce GT 720 and 730, both with 2 GB memory. I prefer fanless, low wattage cards, as long as the PC case has adequate cooling. The GT 710 only uses 19 watts.
The Nvidia card is a better choice at this time because of the proprietary driver support. Also, there are many more X Config options available for Nvidia graphics than AMD or Intel graphics, which can be used in a config file to help resolve monitor configuration and display problems, which are common in Linux, compared to Windows.

Re: Radeon HD5450 / Cinnamon 18.1 64bit - screen resolution
I have a question too, i have an HD5450 too and is using the open source driver that instals with mint 18.1 cinnamon. PC specs are Dell Optiplex 960 SFF Intel Pentium Dual Core E5500 2.8 Ghz with 8 gb ddr2 800mhz and Sapphire Ati HD5450 512 mb 64bits. I use it with a 1366x768 monitor and with my tv 1920 x 1080. On both tv and monitor 1080P videos on youtube run very slowly, but 720p runs perfect. Can't be my internet connection because its a 300mb internet and on my workstation have no problems with downloads and uploads gaming or watching youtube. Can be the old hardware or just the video card because of the driver? Never used the Optiplex 960 with other operating system i just bought it from a local shop of refurbs pc's. Thanks

But I would say it's because your CPU and if you play videos in browser, then maybe it is not powerful enough for FullHD.
You can try h264ify Firefox extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/sk/firefox/a ... y/?src=api) and new mesa drivers with new kernel. But I'm not sure if/how it works on Linux.
Or
Try to install Kodi (https://kodi.tv/) and it's Youtube extension. Let us know how it works.
