Dear Maintainer, I normally connect to my monitor via a passive DisplayPort to HDMI adapter. X sets my resolution to 1024x768 I suspect this is a quirk of the adapter, because despite this my monitor supports 1080p. Normally I get around this by setting 1080p manually via the following script: #!/bin/bash output=`xrandr|grep primary|cut -d " " -f 1` xrandr --newmode "1080p" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync xrandr --addmode $output 1080p xrandr --output $output --mode 1080p kdialog --title "Resolution Changed" --passivepopup "Your screen resolution is now `xrandr | grep \* | cut -d' ' -f4`" ------------------------------------------------- This method worked until my last update 3 or four nights ago. Now, When I run the script, My monitor blinks off for a couple of seconds, but returns as 1024x768 with no stdout output. any subsequent attempts to run the script produce the following output: X Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist) Major opcode of failed request: 140 (RANDR) Minor opcode of failed request: 16 (RRCreateMode) Serial number of failed request: 40 Current serial number in output stream: 40 My xrandr output afterwards is this: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 8192 x 8192 eDP-1 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 1366x768 59.99 + 40.00 1360x768 59.80 59.96 1024x768 60.04 60.00 960x720 60.00 928x696 60.05 896x672 60.01 960x600 60.00 960x540 59.99 800x600 60.00 60.32 56.25 840x525 60.01 59.88 800x512 60.17 700x525 59.98 640x512 60.02 720x450 59.89 640x480 60.00 59.94 680x384 59.80 59.96 576x432 60.06 512x384 60.00 400x300 60.32 56.34 320x240 60.05 DP-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP-1-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP-1-2 connected primary 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm 1024x768 60.00* 800x600 60.32 56.25 848x480 60.00 640x480 59.94 1080p 59.96 DP-1-3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) Note: DP-1-2 is my primary monitor display, eDP1 is my inactive laptop screen. Note also that x added the 1080p line, but the refresh rate is wrong. attempts to switch to the 1080p modeline don't work. The bottom line is that I can no longer use 1080p at all on that display. Are there any workarounds I can try? -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages x11-xserver-utils depends on: ii cpp 4:6.3.0-1 ii libc6 2.24-9 ii libice6 2:1.0.9-2 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-3 ii libxaw7 2:1.0.13-1+b2 ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.14-1+b4 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1+b2 ii libxi6 2:1.7.9-1 ii libxmu6 2:1.1.2-2 ii libxmuu1 2:1.1.2-2 ii libxrandr2 2:1.5.1-1 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.10-1 ii libxt6 1:1.1.5-1 ii libxxf86vm1 1:1.1.4-1+b2 x11-xserver-utils recommends no packages.
