Resolution NVIDIA GEFORCE GT 560M

[unclearimage]

Trying to get to a good resolution tried xrandr as tutorials online suggested, trying to get 1366x768 as the manufacturer suggested. Was running 1920x768 or something on windows. My TV is refered to as HDMI-0. Did the XRANDR this is what I got.



jonesy@IBuyPowerLP:~$ xrandr --newmode "1600x900_60.00" 118.25 1600 1696 1856 2112 900 903 908 934 -hsync +vsync


jonesy@IBuyPowerLP:~$ xrandr --addmode HDMI-0 "1600x900_60.00"


X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 140 (RANDR)
Minor opcode of failed request: 18 (RRAddOutputMode)
Serial number of failed request: 33
Current serial number in output stream: 34


Dunno why it won't work, also tried this resolution 1600x900 because that's what the guide had so I just used that.

Thanks.

I don't see '1366x768' listed as a supported resolution. I wouldn't try to set it.

I see that 1280x720 is available, and it should be close to what you want. Try setting it up using 'Nvidia X Server Settings'.

Let us know how it goes.
Regards.

sorry got back on windows I'm looking for 1768x992 the 1280x720 cuts off 4 inches on the right side.

..cuts off 4 inches on the right side.
That looks like an Overscan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overscan) problem. In other words, a setting on the TV itself not in the computer.

In my Sony Bravia the settings is under the screen menu, the value "Full Pixel". In my brother's Samsung is something like Picture Options -> Screen Size -> P.size to 'Full Scan'.

Let us know how it goes.
Regards.

It's not my T.V. I've already checked and tried all that.
Forget it, tried Zorin 9 months ago same ****, spent forever trying to get basic crap working, been spending every minute since I installed last night trying to get stuff working that's instant with windows, I'm going back to windows 8.
Thanks for your help, but Linux not worth this much of a headache.
