Resolution Problem

Post by eithan100 »

So I have used Linux for a few weeks now, useless (cant help it) but I have ran into a resolution problem, yesterday I was running 1280x1020 and I turned it off, and today its running 640x360. so if someone could just come back to this forum post with a resolution (geddit) for this problem I would be very thankful.

Hello, eithan100.

Please, let us know a few more technical details about your system. Technical issues are so terribly hard to analyze and solve if you withhold the technical details.
Please, open a terminal window. Execute the following commandline exactly as it has been typed here (including capitalization).

Code: Select all

inxi -Fxz
Mark the complete screen output which inxi will display and paste it into your next reply.

Best regards,
Karl

Enumerate the names of all your video outputs, and the possible resolutions for those currently connected to a monitor:

xrandr -q

Choose the name of the output you wish to change the resolution of, and:

xrandr --output <OUTPUT> --mode 1280x1020
