Been knee deep in the Xrandr Arch Wiki and have tried a number of things to change my resolution from the current 1366x768 to 1600x1200. Reason I am doing this is because I want to have more info in my conky and it ain't happening with the current resolution. I am running a Dell Latitude E5510 which is MORE than capable of handling a higher resolution. xrandr output shows: [ichase02@arch64 ~]$ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1366 x 768, maximum 8192 x 8192 eDP1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 194mm 1366x768 60.0*+ 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 56.2 640x480 59.9 VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 1600x1200_60.00 59.9 HDMI2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) I have tried manually adding the resolution IAW the wiki but I get an error: [ichase02@arch64 ~]$ cvt 1600 1200 60 # 1600x1200 59.87 Hz (CVT 1.92M3) hsync: 74.54 kHz; pclk: 161.00 MHz Modeline "1600x1200_60.00" 161.00 1600 1712 1880 2160 1200 1203 1207 1245 -hsync +vsync [ichase02@arch64 ~]$ xrandr --newmode "1600x1200_60.00" 161.00 1600 1712 1880 2160 1200 1203 1207 1245 -hsync +vsync [ichase02@arch64 ~]$ xrandr --addmode eDP1 1600x1200_60.00 X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 140 (RANDR) Minor opcode of failed request: 18 (RRAddOutputMode) Serial number of failed request: 33 Current serial number in output stream: 34 I originally tried [ichase02@arch64 ~]$ xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x768 warning: output LVDS not found; ignoring To dynamically test some different resolutions but as you can see I am getting an LVDS not found. So what do you think I am doing wrong here? Thanks and hope everyone has a great weekend, Ian
