I think "--mode" was for a previous version of xrandr. Did just "xrandr" show the ability to do 1920x1080? I'm trying to see if your monitor or cable just isn't reporting the EDID info properly.
I am not the original poster but I was just trying this method to configure my screen. In my case 1280x1024. When I ran: xrandr --fb 1289x1024 I got the error message: xrandr: Failed to get the size of gamma for output default. What does that mean? Probably, it is because you are using a xorg.conf file. Remove it and eventually do the same by using xorg.conf.d/ files -- ======================================================================= "I have to convince you, or at least snow you ..." -- Prof. Romas Aleliunas, CS 435 ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
