Can't set monitor resolution to 1900x1200

I have an HG281D monitor (hanns-g) with native resolution 1900x1200. Mac OS won't let me set the resolution higher than 1900x1080. How can I fix this? The display is clearly stretched vertically in its current configuration.
Thanks,
Adam

Note that Mac Pro ≠ MacBook Pro. This the MacBook Pro forum. The Mac Pro is a desktop machine. The MacBook Pro is a notebook computer, and you certainly can't have two NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 video cards installed in a MacBook Pro.
The proper forum for your question is here:

Setting monitor resolution in the login manager, before session launch

Hey guys,
I want to have SLiM set the resolution to "auto" once it boots. At the moment, it seems like it boots directly into 800x600, and not into my native resolution, 1366x768. Sometimes I have an external monitor connected as well, and it's a good deal larger.
I was thinking it would be possible to run "xrandr --auto" which does this for me, but I am unable to see how exactly this is done through SLiM.
If it becomes necessary, I'm willing to change login manager to something else. gdm, xdm, kdm, you name it.
Thanks,
gonX

Are you using a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file?
If not, then you may want to try setting up a basic one with settings for your video card, monitor, and screen that includes the resolution that you want slim to use.
Before XRandR, it was set up in the xorg.conf file.
Though, now that I think about it, if it's an issue with size of the fonts, I think that you can adjust that in the slim theme. I don't use slim or any login manager.
I find that it's easier for me to log in via the console and startx manually. That way if I break my X.... It's happened.
Anyway, HTH

Can't set screen resolution

I have a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro. The native resolution is 3200x1800. On archlinux (running latest Gnome3), I don't have the option to set the resolution to 1080p (1920x1080). However, I do have this option on Ubuntu and it works perfectly.
I have read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xr … esolutions and did what it says. Here's my script to change the resolution:
xrandr --newmode 1080p 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode eDP1 1080p
xrandr --output eDP1 --mode 1080p
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 1.0
It worked for a while, but a few months ago, it stopped working. When I run this script, the screen would blink twice, and go back to 3200x1800. I ran the script with `journalctl -f` on, and here's what's in my logs:
Mar 21 11:45:42 sargas gdm-Xorg-:0[303]: (II) intel(0): resizing framebuffer to 1920x1080
Mar 21 11:45:42 sargas gdm-Xorg-:0[303]: (II) intel(0): switch to mode [email protected] on eDP1 using pipe 0, position (0, 0), rotation normal, reflection none
Mar 21 11:45:43 sargas gdm-Xorg-:0[303]: (II) intel(0): resizing framebuffer to 3200x1800
Mar 21 11:45:43 sargas gdm-Xorg-:0[303]: (II) intel(0): switch to mode [email protected] on eDP1 using pipe 0, position (0, 0), rotation normal, reflection none
You can see it switched right back to 3200x1800. I don't see any information in other logs such as the X logs. Any idea how I go about debugging it? I know it's a supported resolution since I can change to it under Ubuntu and it used to work under Arch.
Thanks in advance!

My sysadmin skills are rusty. I'm not sure how to see how it was mounted. I selected it from the vm's Devices menu and it gets mounted under /media.

It is executable, and I believe a ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run runs it, and yes, by "points to" I meant the first line in the script. So I'm not sure why I have to invoke it as */bin/sh* ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run to get it to run successfully.
I'm obviously beyond this, but if you have an answer it would satisfy a bit of curiosity.
After installing the additions, I can still only run at 1600x1200. I can live with this. I suspect it's a VirtualBox limitation since I can only give 128mb to video memory. After the GUI oracle11g database install, ssh is all I need anyway.
Thanks all.

How can I set the resolution of my external display to 1280x800?

Hi, I'm using a Wacom Cintiq 12WX external pen tablet display with a 24" iMac.
The recommended resolution for this Cintiq is 1280x800. But when I go to System Preferences>Displays set the resolution of the display, the only available options for "Wacom Cintiq 12WX" are:
640x480
800x600
832x624
848x480
1024x768
1024x768 is my nearest option, but it has a different proportion than the display's physical shape--resulting in a slightly stretched display. Because I work with graphic design, this is not exactly desirable...
None of the other resolutions have the same proportion as 1280x800, so a stretch seems inevitable; not even working with a smaller resolution will give me the desired ratio.
So my question is, is there any way to choose resolutions other than those listed in the "Display tab" of System Preferences?
I also noticed that I have the option to rotate the tablet screen 90 degrees; when I do this, the option 800x1280 becomes available, but of course it's sideways...
Any help at all would be very greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your help.
I installed the update you suggested, but nothing has changed in my Cintiq 12WX Display menu in System Preferences.
Which update ?
The OSX update or the driver update or both ?
Might be neccessary to reinstall the Wacom driver after the OSX update.
And I concur with Kenichi, if all things fail contact the Wacom Support.
That thing has to work as advertised.
Good Luck

Howto set monitor resolution when I start with the monitor turned of ?

Hello,
I use the onboard Intel HD 4000 to display on my Dell monitor which works out of the box with native 2560x1600 resolution as long as I boot with the monitor turned on (both console and X11).
The problem is that sometimes I don't boot with the monitor being powered on and just need the monitor later.
I found in aur the program read-edid which gives me the needed info in case my monitor isn't powered at boot.
How could I use that information, for the console (I guess it's relared to grub2) and for X11 ?
Thank you very much !!!

This is related to KMS.

Can I set adaptive resolution to OFF as the default ?

Hi -
I turn off adaptive resolution (fast previews) as a matter of course but it seems that I have to do this specifically for every composition window.
The default is apparently for adaptive resolution to be on.
This is a little tedious and I wondered if there is a way to change this default behaviour.
I would expect to find such a setting in preferences but that only offers an option to set the degree of adaptive resolution - not turn it off completely.
Obviously not desperate but it would be one less hassle.
Thanks.

Thanks Rick.
By the time I discovered that I didn't like adaptive resolution and then how to do something about it I already had a couple of CS6 project files and lots of comps on the current job.
I suppose I would have realised this before too long but I'm grateful to you for taking the time and getting me there quicker.
Thanks - Rod

Lenovo X201 external monitor resolution issue

Hi,
I'm having issues connecting my Lenovo X201 through the docking station -> display port -> Dell 3011. The native resolution for the monitor is 2560x1600. However, I currently can only set the resolution to 1920x1080 (ugly!) as any high resolution results in the monitor entering power save mode.
I'm using xrandr to set the video mode in my .xinitrc (running dwm). This creates a good Xinerama config for dwm.
I'm currently using the line
xrandr --output DP1 --mode 1920x1080 --above LVDS1
to set my resolution. When I change to --auto or --mode 2560x1600, or 1920x1200 etc I get the blank screen on the external monitor. I'm using the xf86-video-intel-sna driver package (I tried the -uxa as well to no avail).
Any hints?

I was able to get it by having arandr help generate the config, here's the solution that worked for me:
xrandr --output HDMI1 --off --output LVDS1 --auto --right-of DP1 --output DP1 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal --auto --output VGA1 --off

Trying to set console resolution to 1440x900 at startup

Hi, I've got an NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500M and I'd like to set my console resolution to 1440x900.
For starters, X works just fine. Everything goes great.
But when I boot into the console, I can't set a resolution any higher than 1024x768 which, on this laptop, looks pretty wonky. I've tried vbetest and having GRUB ask me at bootup, but nothing shows me an available resolution near 1440x900.
Any thoughts? Danke.

Hello
The solution is to use KMS (Kernel Mode Settings), to get the kernel to initialise the GPU itself, thus allowing every video mode in the console. This requires the nouveau driver.
Cheers

How can I set a custom resolution on a MacbookAir for an external monitor?

I've been trying to set a custom resolution on my macbook air for an external monitor but the only options displayed are 1280x1024 and 800x600. How can I bring up more options? Thanks!

Your Mac sets those resolutions (and the display NAME) based on the information your display provides when a query is sent at Startup. If those are the only resolutions shown, then your display has said that is all it can do.
What display is this, and what Interface is being used?
This pane will tell you more about what the display has reported:

Can't get correct resolution for second monitor

I am trying to use two monitors with a Vostro 1400 (Intel X3100 video card), the problem is I can't set the external monitor to 1280x1024. Gnome's screen resolution program only let me choose from 640x480 to 1360x768. Besides the resolution of the second monitor, everything else seems to be working fine. Some relevant info:

Yes, I tried xrandr:
$ xrandr --newmode "1280x1024" 65.0 1024 1048 1184 1344 768 771 777 806 -vsync -hsync
$ xrandr --addmode VGA 1280x1024
$ xrandr --output VGA --mode 1280x1024
$ xrandr --output VGA --right-of LVDS
At first this didn't work at all, so I tried to mess with screen resolution applet and got output on the second monitor, but not at the desired resolution.
I tried running these commands again and got output on the second monitor, but at the wrong resolution. The strange part is that the resolution I want is listed by xrandr:

How can I set up an external monitor to extend my screen in windows 7 bootcamp?

How can I set up an external monitor to extend my screen in windows 7 bootcamp? I have updated bootcamp to the latest version. The monitor I have works while I am using Mac OS X. While in bootcamp the monitor is dectected and I am able to select the settings and displays however the external monitor remains alseep. I hooked it up using a mini display port to VGA adapter. Any suggestions?
Thanks

On your Windows desktop right click and select Screen resolution from the menu. You should see a window like this:
Make sure you select Extend and then set your resolutions for each monitor.
If this does not work for you try asking on a Windows forum about extending displays to a second monitor.

Wrong VGA monitor resolution set on desktop

How can I change the monitor resolution before start commences. The resolution that the desk top is set for will not display on my monitor and therefore I can not reset it. I need to interrupt startup to reset the monitor resolution before it sets up the desk top. How can I do this?

You can boot into safe mode (hold down Shift key during bootup until you see the spinning gear) which will force a generic, low resolution (SVGA I think) which should work with most any monitor. However, I don't know if you can alter resolutions from safe mode and have them stick during a normal boot. Good luck.

Can't set monitor resolution to 1900x1200
