Hello everybody,
i recently switched to a monitor with a 3440x1440 screen resolution. Unfortunately i sometimes need lower screen resolutions like 2560x1080 or 1920x1080, but i can’t choose them from my KDE system settings.
I’ve already seen that others reported similar issues, but these topics either didn’t meet my problem, or were unanswered.
I already saw, that it should be possible to manually add resolutions via xorg.conf, but i can’t find the configuration file.
I also tried following this xrandr custom resolution - TurluCode
RES="1920 1080 60" && \
DISP=$(xrandr | grep -e " connected [^(]" | sed -e "s/\([A-Z0-9]\+\) connected.*/\1/") && \
MODELINE=$(cvt $(echo $RES) | grep -e "Modeline [^(]" | sed -r 's/.*Modeline (.*)/\1/') && \
MODERES=$(echo $MODELINE | grep -o -P '(?<=").*(?=")') && \
cat > ~/.xprofile << _EOF
#!/bin/sh
xrandr --newmode $MODELINE
xrandr --addmode $DISP $MODERES
_EOF
Well, i get to choose a new resolution, but the screen get’s black. To everyone who wants to try that solution too, install wayland first, so you have an alternative to delete the .xprofile if it doesn’t work.
Uhm so yeah, does someone have an idea what i did wrong, or maybe another solution? I will also append the output of
inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width
