Hi guys, I’m new to Linux.
I’m really enjoying Manjaro XFCE, life has changed completely.
Question
What should I do to make the 2560x1080 resolution option appear on display settings in Manjaro XFCE Minimal?
In addition to the updates on Pamac after installing Manjaro do I need to do anything else? Do I need to install anything that doesn’t come with Manjaro? If so, how do I do this?
Setup
- LG Ultrawide 25 monitor (I use only the monitor screen)
- ASUS N53ta Laptop - ATI Radeon® HD 6720G2 Graphics with 2GB DDR3 VRAM
Approaches I’ve tried and failed
- Setting a new mode via xrandr
- I tried to look for a driver on the AMD website but found nothing that appears to be compatible.
- I tried to change the Kernel version to 4.19 and boot but it didn’t change anything.
Context
I used to plug the monitor into the laptop (hdmi) and in Windows 10 it automatically displayed the desired resolution 2560x1080 (21: 9)
After installing the Manjaro XFCE Minimal when I plug in the monitor, the highest resolution that appears to me is 1920x1080
