custom resolutions support ? #35

Open paqwak opened 6 years ago

paqwak commented 6 years ago

Hello,

Beside the native 1200*1920 (16:10), the other resolutions are a little bit useless, they are all in 4:3 portrait mode.

Is it anything that can be tweaked somewhere in a .conf file ? (linux noob here).

I would love to have a 600*920 option, or at least other usable low res one, mostly for gaming purpose :)

++ (ubuntu 17.04)

You could try to add a mode line for a custom resolution but I doubt that you will get happy with it.

I will not do anything about that but you might take a look at this:

If you archive anything useful (or not), please let us know so in case anyone else comes up with equal questions, we can reference this ticket.

Ok thanks for your input !

600x960 60.00 is actually listed as available resolution by xrandr. So to switch resolution : xrandr --output DSI1 --mode 600x960 --rate 60

Works fine here ! Im still not sure how to make this mode permanently available by the ubuntu screen display. xrandr -addmode DSI1 600x960 don`t add any resolution in the display options.

@paqwak I am not really sure but it might be the case that you need to add the options to the X11 settings to make the mode persistent. It might be the case that it then is able to detect your custom resolution within the tools as well.

I have not been using "non-native" display resolutions since I disposed my last CRT. So you might need reading the documentation on this.
