Since a week I am a ubuntu user. Switched from windows since my paid xp license is not supported anymore. Iḿ really satisfied about ubuntu, works perfectly!
Just one small problem, that's my screen resolution. I'm using a Iiyama ProLite E1902WSV monitor on ubuntu 12.04 LTS
When I put the code xrandr
in the terminal, I get the following:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 4096 x 4096
VGA-1 connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
1024x768 60.0*
800x600 60.3 56.2
848x480 60.0
640x480 59.9
DVI-D-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
TV-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
And now the problem starts, becouse the optimal screen resolution for my Iiyama isn't in this list. I've looked around on the internet and the best resolution should be 1440x900 (source)
Does anybody know how to fix this? Thanks in advance!
:::EDIT:::
After the solution from Sylvain Pineau I started my computer this morning and got the following message.
none of the selected modes were compatible with the possible modes:

Is there a solution to this aswell? I have the same screen resolution as in the beginning 1024x768 (4:3) again...
xrandr --newmode "1440x900_60.00" 106.47 1440 1520 1672 1904 900 901 904 932 -HSync +Vsync
andxrandr --addmode VGA-1 1440x900_60.00
