Nice to see this technique laid out neatly – you don’t need
to place the “cvt” command in your profile file though.
That is only used to give you the format for placing in the
–newmode xrandr command.
It won’t do any harm there, but it won’t actually do anything

Does not work at all. Xrander not found. Whye the HELL do
you have to do these things in some little DOS box in
Linux? Can’t they catch up with other operating systems
where you do not have to use this little MS DOS box, and
set things in a GUI?
And it should be forgiving of your spelling and or typing. I
typed Xrander and it gave an error! Unbelievable. It should
work spelled either way.
Then, the thing does not say anything about edp-1 so that
does not work. I don’t know what else would??? I got
this…..

thern to top it all off I finally get this. ….

xrandr: cannot find output “eDP-1″….
AND it simply does not work. Can’t someone write a damn
display thingy that you can click on the numbers you want,
picking displays from a list (mine is a Dell UltraScan P1110
– CRT monitor – 21″… which last I checked Window XP
had listed, and I used.) Nothing showing up, you cannot
select anything from the dropdown. AND I REFUSE to get a
new monitor, this one is much better than those flat screen
crap ones they now sell with the stupid widescreen, which I
never saw the need for! Also it’s native resolution is
1800X1440, which I can’t seem to find in the dropdown. It
only wants to let me set some widescreen thing , 1024X768
OR the old fashioned 800X600 which Windows 95 used. I
think Linux is about 20 years behind the times on this one.

Screen Resolution in Ubu... http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2017/04/c...
OK after typing stuff in for like 2 hours, trying over and over
and all kind of errors and stuff, it finally worked. Why does it
have to be so hard? THEN I went to do the final steps with
gedit and it is not installed! I guessed I could do the same
with mousepad (since I’m on Xubuntu_) and I hope I got
that right. mode is now 1280×1024 and for some reason it
won’t run at 75 htz like the monitor manual says, it gets all
wonky, so 60 htz it is. Oh and thank God for the old
monitors buttons that set size and top to bottom height, etc.
That was way too hard to figure out how to do with some
obscure DOS code in a little box, I prefer physical buttons!!!
Now to find where the color profiles are stored! OH WAIT I
can set colors right on the monitor with BUTTONS unlike
these new flat screen things where you can’t adjust
anything at all without being some sort of genius
programmer. Hell, can’t even find the “on” button on most of
them, it’s on the back or side or something, I like it RIGHT
on the FRONT labeled “ON” where you can see it!!!

I solved my “X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid

It seems that you can’t use xrandr with the nVidia

proprietary driver. Getting back to the driver included in
Ubuntu fixed the error for me.
Moreover, my screen did not show proper resolution, and

seems that you can not always depend on cvt and gtf. I got
the working numbers by finding your device EDID and
reading it by parse-edid.
