Hi everyone! I recently bought a new monitor and its 1680 by 1050 resolution is not present in the display settings option, or the Nvidia X Server Settings.
I’m currently using a GT710 and the resolution is available in Windows, so the card supports it.
My xrand --query displays
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1280 x 800, maximum 16384 x 16384
VGA-0 connected primary 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
1024x768 60.00 +
1600x900 59.82
1400x900 59.88
1368x768 59.88 59.85
1280x800 59.91* 59.81
1280x720 59.86 59.74
1024x576 59.90 59.82
960x540 59.82 59.63
864x486 59.92 59.57
800x600 72.19 60.32 56.25
800x450 59.82
700x450 59.88
684x384 59.88 59.85
640x480 59.94
640x400 59.98 59.88
640x360 59.86 59.83
512x384 60.00
512x288 60.00 59.92
480x270 59.82 59.63
432x243 59.92 59.57
400x300 72.19
320x240 60.05
DVI-D-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
So my resolution is not on that list either.
Any tips?
Thanks!
Check if the monitor is active in arandr - navigate Outputs and activate the output if necessary - I don’t know how to navigate KDE but I reckon it must have a display section in system settings somewhere.
TIP: Use the codefence (three backticks) on separate lines before and after terminal output - or select the output and click the </> button in the comment toolbar.
Thanks! Installed arandr and when trying to run it via terminal I get the following

Then when I go to output the resolution is still not available there or via KDE Display Config.
Tried to manually add the resolution via xrandr but I get the following error
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Windows is able to utilize the resolution, yes.
And oddly enough, on a VirtualBox machine the resolution is available out of the box.
Could I copy some files to make it work natively or that info would be hard coded on the nvidia driver?
Hi, @FabriciusFab
I don’t have a Nvidia card, but I tried to google for you and I found several problems related to the resolution of your monitor.
According to HERE and HERE, you could try to generate a xorg.conf from inside the nvidia-settings panel (it would put the file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d folder), then edit that file and add the line:
