[arch-general] Problem regarding Resolution on Nvidia
Hello, I am using nvidia proprietary driver on arch linux (GNOME with Wayland), My HDMI port broke so I connected my monitor using DVI ports (with VGA adapter since my monitor does not have any DVI output). Now my aspect ratio is fixed on 4:3. I can't make it to 16:9 nor can I use 1920*1080. Steps I've taken : 1. Following archwiki I tried to create a new rule for xrandr but it failed 2. I tried editing xorg.conf refresh rate and it added some weird resolution but still no 16:9 3. Added subsection on "Screen" defining resolution, it did not do anything ;( What can I do? Any suggestion will be helpful. Thanks in advance. J Sent from Nylas Mailhttps://n1.nylas.com/link/5ba4f02ea2b0084a1a5ba0fbbe6dee6293853c593b984a854c..., the best free email app for work
You *might* want to try adjusting your framebuffer resolution, using the 'vga=0xwhatever' parameter in your bootloader config (you can get a list of these resolutions with `sudo hwinfo --framebuffer`). On 06/01/2017 08:59 AM, Junayeed Ahnaf via arch-general wrote:

Did you try some troubleshooting with Xrandr? (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xrandr) What screen configuration modes are shown when your display is connected?
