Hey!
I am unable to set my resolution higher than 1024x768.
I have a 17 inch Monitor which supports resolution upto 1280x1024 and my CPU is a i5 2nd gen ( No GPU ).
I know that resolution can be manually created via xrandr but that’s not an ideal solution. I have to do the script every restart which I find annoying.
There’s no other way then. You have to add a undetected resolution permanently. See xrandr - ArchWiki
Are you sure? Is this a driver issue or I just can’t change my resolution higher than that with intel intregrated graphics?
Hi @DidntPot,
If you know how to do it with Xrandr you can setup the command to automatically execute on boot.
How? Any example or links to any sources?
OK, I have absolutely NO idea if this is the correct way, but this is, at least one way:
~/.config/plasma-workspace/env/ to be executed on every boot. Let’s call it resolution_force.sh.touch ~/.config/plasma-workspace/env/resolution_force.sh
nano.nano ~/.config/plasma-workspace/env/resolution_force.sh
#!) and the command followed by the line with the actual command:#!/bin/env bash
<actual xrandr command>
Where <actual xrandr command> is the actual command you’d use with xrandr
Save the file, Ctrl+O → Y, and exit, Ctrl+X → Y.
Make the file executable:
chmod +x ~/.config/plasma-workspace/env/resolution_force.sh
And reboot.
NOTE:
This will only work for the currently logged in user after login. It isn’t global. For global, you’d need to create a systemd unit, which while I don’t think is too hard, I’ve just never done it. See here for more:
You’re using KDE and you should be able to change the screen resolution from system settings → display and monitor → display configuration.
