How to set correct screen resolution in Fossapup?

[boof]

my screen needs to run at 2540x1440, but always defaults to next larger size, which is too big. how to fix permanently, pls?

[bigpup]

Is this Fossapup64 9.5?

What is providing the graphics?
What hardware?
Pup-Sysinfo can provide this info.

Post the info given in Pup-Sysinfo->Devices->Display->Summary

In a terminal/console
Enter xrandr
Does the output list the resolution you want to use?

Is Fossapup a frugal or live install, you have made a save, and boot using the save?

Good morning! (at least for me)

@boof
I think the correct resolution is 2560x1440 (not 2540x1440)

Maybe this cause an error and skip to the next resolution

but without more specific info, this is only a speculation

check the post above... is very important!!

Cheers!!

it's wrong. it was listed in screen resolutions list, with default 31xx X 1xxx, and it was next one down. whatever i do, the screen resolution will not change. nb laptop monitor disabled, hdmi to main screen 65in 4k that puts the mouse on the 4k screen. i'm using xorg.conf i think

Hi @boof

ok, so if I'm not mistaken what you comment is the following:
You use an intel processor laptop connected to a 65 "4k tv connected by HDMI
Your laptop is an HP intel atom / celeron / pentium X5 processor integrated graphics card intel and etc (intel)

Well, your case is very similar to mine, the different thing is that I am a PC but I have the same problem, except that my base resolution does not exceed 1024x768 and I solved it with this pet that I had to create ...

But first I need to verify this information on your computer, open the terminal and paste these lines,

Code: Select all

xrandr

cvt 2560 1440 60

xrandr --newmode "2560x1440_60.00"  312.25  2560 2752 3024 3488  1440 1443 1448 1493 -hsync +vsync

xrandr --addmode HDMI-1 "2560x1440_60.00"

xrandr --size "2560x1440_60.00"

exit

If the information is correct, then you can install the pet without problems ... BUT first verify if this works

[rcrsn51]

it was listed in screen resolutions list, with default 31xx X 1xxx,

What list? I still cannot see where you are getting this number.

[boof]

i pasted all the code into terminal, no <enter> 2 butt mouse and my pc went blank. may have gone off, reboot no new resolution. would like load pet, pls post it.

HI @boof

checking your info, i found a error, you already copy line for line and the line

Code: Select all

xrandr --newmode "2560x1440_60.00" 312.25 2560 2752 3024 3488 1440 1443 1448 1493 -hsync +vsync

you copy only a part of this that's why the script didn't work..

This is my script modified for your case

I really hope this time works succesfully

delete the fake "gz" of the script
