How to run Sceptre curved monitor at full resolution in Xenialpup64 7.5?

Post by mgolden »

Is there a way to run a Sceptre curved monitor at it's native 2560 X 1080 resolution? Works fine in Windows 10 64bit.

HP desktop computer with an AMD Radeon HD 6450 video card.

In terminal:

Code: Select all

xrandr

Does it show that resolution in the list?

Pup=Sysinfo->Devices->Display->Video-Info
Post what it gives for info.

xenialpup64, version 7.5 has some updates that may or may not help, but still good to have them.

Quickpet icon on desktop.
Qucikpet->Info->Xenialpup updates
Reboot and update save, so new changes are now being used.
