I am using a monitor which its native (optimal) resolution is 1600*900. but xrandr doesn't show any resolution above "1024x768".
I can change to my native resoution by issuing these 3 commands:
xrandr --newmode "1600x900_60.00" 118.25 1600 1696 1856 2112 900 903 908 934 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA1 "1600x900_60.00"
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode "1600x900_60.00"
but I have to do it each time I reboot. I searched the wiki and found I can write an /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf
.
I wrote this but **it doesn't work". I don't know where I am doing wrong?
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel i915"
Option "VGA1" #"VGA screen"
Driver "intel"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Primary Monitor"
Modeline "1600x900_60.00" 118.25 1600 1696 1856 2112 900 903 908 934 -Hsync +Vsync
Option "PreferredMode" "1600x900"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "VGA1"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1600x900_60.00"
EndSubSection
EndSection
also here is the output of my $> xrandr -q
10-monitor.conf
my$> xrandr -q
output becomes:==> linkintel
