If someone could help me please.

I will download ... Kubuntu to see if the resolution on another iso is better. But I would like to know why and how to fix it in siduction.

Thanks

If your display's resolution is not recognized, as with one of my display-port monitors, you could try to add the display's resolution with xrandr and apply it. Works for my monitor...

Code Select


# add resolution
xrandr --addmode VGA1 "1920x1200"

# set resolution
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode "1920x1200"

Don't forget to replace my resolution with the optimal resolution of you your display.

root@smallBox:/home/se7en# xrandr --addmode VGA1 "1280x1024"
xrandr: cannot find mode "1280x1024"

I can not add any mode

you need to first define the new mode... archwiki has detailed instructions on that:

You are my hero!!!
Thanks

Will it stay that way or do I have to adjust it every time I reboot?

hm, i do not know for sure, never had to do that myself...

i suppose there should be an option. probably by writing these command into a script file that will be called each time when X is started... maybe in the display manager config ( lightdm.conf ) ?

anyone else more knowledgeable is welcome to comment on this

xrandr settings need to go in a script to outlive the first reboot. another way is setting up modeleines and a Section "Screen" in xorg.conf.d
