I have a server running under ubuntu with no hardware display connected. Basic display resolution in this case is
$ xrandr -q
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 800 x 600, maximum 800 x 600
default connected 800x600+0+0 0mm x 0mm
800x600 61.0*
640x480 60.0
But first is a bit low for me - i want to set 1024x768 to use teamviewer and vnc comfortable. So i have tried to add new resolution:
$ cvt 1024 768 60
# 1024x768 59.92 Hz (CVT 0.79M3) hsync: 47.82 kHz; pclk: 63.50 MHz
Modeline "1024x768_60.00" 63.50 1024 1072 1176 1328 768 771 775 798 -hsync +vsync
than check and add mode:
$ xrandr -q
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 800 x 600, maximum 800 x 600
default connected 800x600+0+0 0mm x 0mm
800x600 61.0*
640x480 60.0
1024x768_60.00 (0x120) 63.0MHz
h: width 1024 start 1072 end 1176 total 1328 skew 0 clock 47.4KHz
v: height 768 start 771 end 775 total 798 clock 59.4Hz
xrandr --addmode default 1024x768_60.00
uadm@spravka:~$ xrandr -q
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 800 x 600, maximum 800 x 600
default connected 800x600+0+0 0mm x 0mm
800x600 61.0*
640x480 60.0
1024x768_60.00 59.4
so now i can pick 1024x768 in my Display configuration gui.. but it don't works. Someone can tell me where is a problem?
PS: when i connect hardware display - it sets normal real resolution such as 1280x960 automatically. Thanks for help.
