Hi guys, I’m very new at manjaro.So I’m having a big issue with my old GPU (AMD ATI Radeon R7 260X/360 ). I been reading about this issue but i cant find the way to add my resolution to the display settings. I do all the steps (xrandr --newmode &&…)

Are you using AMDGPU really? or ATI/radeon ?
mhwd -li
inxi -G

For example if using ATI but resolution seems unsupported please see:

Thanks for replying so fast! I will read more about what you told me! Anyway I don’t have this issue with my other boot (windows 10) so I figure that it has to be some solution.

You are using radeon (makes sense - AMDGPU is only for newer cards)
So that link above should be helpful

After seeing the link below i make a bash script for my problem and some how work. But I have to run it every time I log in. After a week I install something call “gtk2” and magically all work out, now my resolution (and others) are available in my config GUI and I don’t have to run anything in order to my resolution be the right one. I would like to know what happen in order to understand. Thanks

Do you mean package gtk2 ?

It has a number of dependencies - so while it could be the package itself it could be one of those, such as libxrandr.
Something like this will show us the last 20 things newly installed

grep -i installed -w reinstalled /var/log/pacman.log | tail -n 20

This is the output of that command

After a month it happen all over again. I’m kind of frustrated about this. I guess that some update change something about gtk2. Now I don’t know what to do. Any help will be very appreciated
