[SOLVED] Nvidia Driver Does Not Show Correct Resolution

[roblm]

Here is the reason the 2560x1080 mode is not being used:

Code: Select all

[  2184.882] (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0):   Validating Mode "2560x1080_60":

Open the xorg.conf file. Add this Screen section:

Code: Select all

Section "Device"		
   Identifier   "Device0"  
   Driver   "nvidia"   			
   BusID  "PCI:1:0:0"
   Option "CustomEDID" "DP-1:/home/redpinko/Downloads/.edid.bin"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
   Identifier   "Screen0"
   Device   "Device0"
   Monitor   "Monitor0"
   DefaultDepth   24
   Option "ModeValidation" "NoExtendedGpuCapabilitiesCheck"
   Option "MetaModes" "DP-1:2560x1080_60 +0+0"
EndSection

YESSSSS. Thank you so much. This fixed it. I don't know how to repay you for patience and determination roblm. You're great!

Also, if you're reading this because you dug through ten thousand forums, do not use sudo with GUI commands. More importantly though, use timeshift. Most importantly: I beleive in you

Thanks - that just helped me to get out of 3 days of desperation and depression and anger
