How can I change resolution using xrandr? [duplicate]
I have a dual monitor setup. 2nd monitor has a VGA connection. Resolution 1366x768 not found in display settings or randr
. How do I add resolution 1366x768 to output. I have tried this:
VGA-0 connected primary 1024x768+0+190 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
1024x768 60.0*
800x600 60.3 56.2
848x480 60.0
640x480 59.9
Did xrandr -s 1366x768
:
Size 1366x768 not found in available modes
And xrandr --output vga-0 --mode 1366x768
:
warning: output vga-0 not found; ignoring
Solution 1:
And
xrandr --output vga-0 --mode 1366x768:
warning: output vga-0 not found; ignoring
Terminals are case sensitive(may not be for windows BUT), vga-0
is not equal to VGA-0
and hence the problem.
Did
xrandr -s 1366x768
