Debian Hardware :: Missing Mode Into Xrandr

May 6, 2014

I have a notebook Asus X-serie with a

Code: Select all# lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation ValleyView SSA-CUnit (rev 0c)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation ValleyView Gen7 (rev 0
00:13.0 SATA controller: Intel Corporation ValleyView 6-Port SATA AHCI Contller (rev 0c)
00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation ValleyView USB xHCI Host Controll (rev 0c)

[CODE]..

However I would like to display the same too onto my CRT. My crt of my pc notebook is blank. Nothing. I read a lot and nothing. I read on xrandr but few info:

Adding new modes

Under some circumstances, some modes might be missing. For instance, if the monitor does not report correct EDID information. Or if the output didn’t have a CRTC available at startup because another output was using it and you disabled it in the meantime.

If a mode exist, you may add it to one output with:

$ xrandr --addmode VGA1 800x600

If the mode does not exist, you may first create it by passing a modeline:

$ xrandr --newmode <ModeLine>

Ubuntu :: Add A New Resolution Mode To Monitor But XrandR Always Fails

Oct 12, 2010

I was trying to add a new resolution mode to my monitor, but XrandR always fails. These are the steps I follow:

Quote:

$ gtf 1280 768 60

then I copy the result and type

Quote:

xrandr --newmode "1280x768_60.00" 80.14 1280 1344 1480 1680 768 769 772 795 -HSync +Vsync

[Code]....

Finally I just can't create another resolution. And yes, my monitor should run in 1280x768.

Debian :: How To Set Display Resolution When Xrandr Cannot Work

Sep 19, 2015

I've just completed my first pc build, and installed Ubuntu 8.2. My build was focussed around a legacy Apple Cinema 30" display, which has 2560x1600 @ 60fps resolution. The motherboard - Gigabyte H97N-Wifi - supports that display, although the display drivers are supplied by Intel, and are therefore nonfree. On startup, my display resolution defaults to 1200x800. This is what /var/log/Xorg.0.log says about it:

Code: Select all[snip]
[     1.830] (II) intel(0): Output VGA1 has no monitor section
[     1.881] (II) intel(0): Output HDMI1 has no monitor section
[     1.882] (II) intel(0): Output HDMI2 has no monitor section
[     1.882] (II) intel(0): Output HDMI3 has no monitor section
[     1.933] (II) intel(0): EDID for output VGA1
[     1.986] (II) intel(0): EDID for output HDMI1
[     1.986] (II) intel(0): Manufacturer: APP  Model: 9232  Serial#: 33555281

[code]...

I bumped into a webpage which stated that xrandr does not work with proprietary drivers, and if that's true, I can't get it to change resolution on my screen.

Debian Configuration :: Jessie Xrandr Rotation Bad Corruption

Nov 25, 2015

DE: lxde
version: Jessie
using xorg file: no

After changing my video cards from gigabyte HD5450 and saphire X550 to two saphire r7 240s one of my debian installs no longer supports rotating the monitors either with 'Monitor Settings' or xrandr. The only difference between these 2 Jessie installs is that one was upgraded and the other one was fresh. The problem is with the upgraded one. On the fresh installed debian I just put the ati proprietary driver so I won't do further testing on it but xrandr was working fine on it before that.

I tried going over the ATIHowTo [URL] .... and everything looks good. Tried purging the non free firmware and reinstalling. I verified the version numbers of libxrandr2 and kernel of both installs. It is either some scrap left over from wheezy or a configuration file I am not aware of.

So what actually happens is xrandr does not say anything, blanks out all windows on the screen with only their background color and title bar showing, changes the lxpanel to its background pattern except for 2 blanked out boxes almost to the right of the screen( I have 10 tray icons there before it blanks), activates the screen I wanted to rotate with the proper rotation. On my main screen I can't click on anything. On the rotated screen I can right click and I get my openbox right click menu like I do on my main monitor before the command but when I try to run something nothing happens. The only way I can get out of this situation is to go to ctrl-alt-f1, log in as root and type 'service lightdm restart'.

Both of these monitors are connected to the primary video card, an ati r7 240 saphire. The main one is on vga and the other one is on DVI. I also have another monitor connected to HDMI but it's not being used. I have yet another monitor connected to the VGA of the secondary GPU I don't think it's a problem is it? I tried not using 'xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0' and it still did the same thing.

I tried just launching openbox with no LXDE and it did the same thing.

Also another strange thing is when I stop the lightdm service and try to 'startx' or 'xinit' my screens go blank; numlock, control-alt-delete and control-alt-f1 do nothing and the only thing I can do is an emergency REISUB. I didn't configure this install to use startx or xinit yet but should it really lock up my system?

On the affected system my script looks like this (I already did this step by step and the 'rotate left' line is causing the problem):

Code: Select allxrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0
xrandr --output VGA-0 --primary --mode 1680x1050 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal
 --output DVI-0 --mode 1680x1050 --pos 0x1050 --rotate left
 --output HDMI-0 --off
 --output VGA-1-1 --off

lxpanelctl restart

Additional info:

Code: Select all$ inxi -G
Graphics:  Card-1: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Oland PRO [Radeon R7 240]
           Card-2: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Oland PRO [Radeon R7 240]
           Display Server: X.Org 1.16.4 drivers: ati,radeon (unloaded: fbdev,vesa)

Debian Multimedia :: Using Xrandr To Toggle Laptop Display

Jun 3, 2015

Background: I am running Debian 8 with the Xfce DE on my Toshiba Satellite Laptop.

When at home I will connect my laptop to an external display. I did the same while I was running Ubuntu; however, with Ubuntu I could activate my laptop display by simply disconnecting the external monitor. With Debian + Xfce, unplugging the external monitor leaves my laptop screen blank.

In order to activate my laptop display, I have to open Display settings, turn on laptop display -- which still leaves my laptop screen blank -- and then switch resolution: there are two listings for 1366x768 under resolution, and only the second one restores my laptop display. Please note that if I have both displays on at the same time the size of the output on my external monitor will be reduced to about the size of my laptop's display.

I would like the create a Bash script which can automatically switch between my displays. After some Googling it seems like xrandr is the tool I need for the job. However, I have been having trouble getting it to work.

I tried the command Code: Select allxrandr --output LVDS1 --auto --primary --output HDMI1 --off. This however just turns my external display off without turning on my laptop's display. I suspect this has something to do with the fact that LVDS1 has two modes at 1366x768; perhaps only one of them can actually display? I'm not sure, but anyways here's the output of xrandr:

Code: Select allScreen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192
LVDS1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 193mm
   1366x768      59.99*+
   1360x768      59.80    59.96 
   1024x768      60.00 
   800x600       60.32    56.25 

[Code] ....

Is there a way I can specify that xrandr should use the second 1366x768 mode?

I just realized that the second mode is, in fact, 1360x768 rather than 1366x768...

The good news is that I fixed my problem. It turns out that my backlight was not turning on, giving the appearance that my laptop screen was not displaying anything.

Software :: Xrandr Not Changing The Resolution (Debian Lenny)?

Jan 1, 2011

GNOME decided not to use the correct resolution ever. In Ubuntu, it got it automatically and that said it should be 1366x768, and when i run this:

Code:

xrandr -s 1366x768

I get

Code:

Size 1366x768 not found in available modes

So then I tried to run xrandr and find out what was available and I got:

Code:

$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768
default connected

[code]....

So when I try to change it to 1024x768, I get the same "not found in available modes" message.

Debian Multimedia :: Jessie Gnome-xrandr No Longer Works

May 13, 2015

Updated old Eeepc 1005HAB to Jessie. Used to have a text file:

xrandr --output LVSD1 --mode 1024x600 --fb 1024x768 --panning 1024x768"

that I could run (twice in a row, it needed) to allow the scroling of the screen to see the bottom 1/4.

This no longer works.

Debian Multimedia :: How To Get Xrandr / Arandr To Detect Dual Monitor

Jan 29, 2016

I just switched from Ubuntu to Debian and I am having trouble doing something that I found easy to do with Ubuntu. I have a Radeon R9 graphics card from MSI with dual DVI ports and I'm trying to get xrandr/arandr to detect my dual monitors but it only detects one. I've installed all the drivers and even installed the "amdgpu" driver from the Ubuntu repository but still not detecting. What drivers am I missing?

Debian Multimedia :: Xrandr Rotate Kills X Leaves Monitors Blank

Feb 26, 2011

I have a dual Monitor Setup, both SXGA LCDs, one rotated left. With kernels and Xservers available from debian making settings appropriate kills X and apparently leaves modesetting and keyboard missconfigured - monitors say: no signal and it is not possible to switch to any VT until sysrq-unraw (alt-print-r) is pressed, which makes the system responding to keyboard, but still leaves the screens blank. Restarting the display manager sets a working mode with both screens showing the same.

Ubuntu :: Missing Login Prompt In Console Mode?

Feb 1, 2010

After upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10 I no longer get a login prompt when switching to console mode e.g. (CTRL+ALT)-F1. Instead i just get blinking cursor in the top left corner. Key strokes are printed the screen but otherwise nothing happens. I can switch back and forth between X and the console normally.

Where are the consoles configured, and is there a corresponding log somewhere i can check? Has anyone had similars problem?

My system is an old Amilo Pro laptop with a VIA 800 compatible chip-set.

Debian :: "Not Optimum Mode - Recommended Mode 1280 X 1024 60Hz"

Apr 19, 2010

I am getting a pop up window saying: "Not optimum mode. Recommended mode 1280 x 1024 60Hz" In my case, this is happening after installing Debian 504 AMD64, the Samsung "SyncMaster 940N" that gives this message or warning was working fine for a few years on another machine under the previous Lenny distro.

The only way to get rid of this unwanted pop-up window (the monitor is working fine) is to press the "AUTO" switch on the monitor, there is no such option in the menu of the monitor to disable anything or change the resolution and it seems to me that, unlike what was suggested as an answer in similar threads, the problem is not with the monitor but with the distro unable to detect the monitor properly. The only mention in the "xorg.conf" file is as follows and running "dpkg reconfigure ..." has no other effect than creating a new exact duplicate of the file.

Section "Screen"
Identifier"Default Screen"
Monitor"Configured Monitor"

General :: Where To Place Xrandr Configuration

Aug 8, 2011

I have migrtaed from Arch, my first experience with linux for the past 2 months, to Debian and i'm currently setting up my system. I have a X61s Thinkpad with a cracked screen which i use with the ultrabase with an external monitor and keyboard. The monitor requires me to use fbset on console and xrandr for a graphical enviroment Whilst i was using Arch i used 'startx' to access openbox and placed my xrandr configuration in ~/.xinitrc but with debian i have wanted to use a login manager, Slim.

Because i am using KMS for my intel based system i don't have an xorg.conf and because i am using slim i am not using ~/.xinitrc I read somwhere that creating an ~/.xprofile file would solve this but i have not had any luck. So i am wondering where would be the best place to put the xrandr configuration?

Software :: Xrandr Not Finding Modes?

Jul 14, 2010

I'm on Debian Squeeze, my PC has a Radeon HD4770 card. I honestly don't know if it's currently running on OS or proprietary fglrx drivers; I installed fglrx, but the control panel app insists the driver isn't loaded. I'm following these instructions to try to get my screen running at 1280x960x85. It's currently at 1280x1024x85, but it's an old CRT that, for some reason, works fine at 1280x960 but gets unfocused at 1280x1024. I'm following the step "adding undetected resolutions", and here's the result:

Code:

fallingwater@longcat:~$ xrandr
