I'll show you an example of how you can set your monitor resolution.
Get the Modeline with the following command.
60
is the monitor refresh rate in Hz. You have to know your monitor refresh rate!!!The output looks like this. Copy the modeline after
Modeline
to use it in the next command.:Create a new mode with the copied modeline and xrandr.:
With the following command, you get the connected port.
The output looks like this. As you can see, in my case the connected port is
DVI-0
.:Add the new mode using your connected port.:
Change the monitor resolution.:
You should access System Settings - Display. There you'll see a Resolution drop-down menu. Just click on it an check the resolution you desire, as 1360x768. Then, just click Apply and you should see the changes.
