Booting Fossapup64 from existing GRUB2
Thought this might be useful to some people. If like me you have another distro installed to a hard drive and booting via GRUB2, and have been using chainloader to boot your USB Pups from GRUB2, you will find this method does not work with Fossapup64. See screenshot of my 40_custom file below for ...

How to fix issue with missing screen resolutions (AMD GPUs)
I've just had an issue with Fossapup64 not allowing me to set the correct screen resolution for my Philips QHD monitor. It's native resolution is 2560x1440 but I was only getting 1920x1080.

Re: Fossapup64 screen resolution problem
Ok, so, as expected the changes I made in Xrandr to get my desired screen resolution only hold for that session. And yes, I did save the session before I rebooted. Next I tried adding a script to the startup folder to run the aforementioned xrandr commands. That worked but you would always see the ...

Re: Fossapup64 screen resolution problem
Ok, so I've got somewhere with this, just in case anyone else has this issue, I'll share. Open terminal and follow these steps. Use cvt command to get the modeline info for the desired resolution. cvt 2560 1440 Then use that info to add a new mode to xrandr like so: xrandr --newmode "2560x1440_60 ...

Re: Fossapup64 screen resolution problem
Thanks Grey, I will try this. My screen is a 32" QHD Philips which has a native resolution of 2560x1440, so it looks pretty bad running at 1080.
Edit: just tried that. The resolution I need is not listed in the drop down. Max available is 1920x1080. Weird, as Xorg wizard has 2560x1440 available.
