This is what I had to do on an #IntelMaker #Joule in order to make it work in the native resolution with a SUNFOUNDER 7 INCH TFT COLOR MONITOR, which is listed as having 1024*600 resolution, but was picked up as 1280x720 instead.įirst, Intel Joule with Linux 4.4.15-yocto-standard x86_64 doesn't seem to have gtf(1), so, I had to use a different machine to calculate the appropriate numbers: $ gtf 1024 600 60 You can try it out if the above steps seem too complicated for you: I also wrote a script that does all these steps automatically. # Usually unlikely, but if it doesn't apply automatically # It should add the new mode to the display & apply it. # you've set in the previous command (-newmode) # The last parameter is the mode-alias/name which # Run "xrandr" without any parameters to be sure. # VGA1 is the display name, it might differ for you. # Then all you have to do is to add the new mode to the # of the display mode - you can as well pass something # Well, the string within the quotes is the nick/alias # Now, use "xrandr" to make the system recognize a new # Copy this entire string (except for the starting "Modeline") # Typically, it outputs a line starting with "Modeline" # IMPORTANT: BE SURE THE MONITOR SUPPORTS THE RESOLUTION # vertical resolution is 1080px & refresh-rate is 60Hz. # In this case, the horizontal resolution is 1920px the # refresh-rate as the command parameters: # All you have to do is to pass the resolution & the. # Luckily, the tool "gtf" will help you calculate it. # First we need to get the modeline string for xrandr But make sure your monitor and onboard graphics support that resolution. Following steps are for adding a 1920x1080 resolution, but you can use it for any other resolution you want. Note I'm just another user trying to help.Here are the steps you need to add a new custom resolution and apply it. You need to first try downloading and installing this driver.
Usually manufactures of machines have these drivers for downloading under a support section on their website.
If that doesn't work what you need is to get the proper driver for your machine.
Start -> Settings -> Update & security -> Check for updates You can try to speed up this process by selecting: At first it had the generic video driver installed, but shortly after I upgraded Windows checked what was available to download, and it found and installed the proper driver. This will usually be supplied by the manufacture of your computer, not the manufacture of the monitor you have.įrom what happened on my system. Note you are asking the wrong people (AOC support) for help. That is what is installed on your machine right now, and that is why you are missing the 1920x1080 resolution. When Windows 10 first installs, it installs a generic video driver. If you just upgraded to Windows 10 the problem might actually be fixed automatically in a day or so.
