Hello Ubuntu masters,
I'm new at Ubuntu desktop (16.04) so I'm trying to figure out how to solve problem with my low resolution.
I'm using Nvidia GeForce GT 610 (also recognized as GF 119 if anything helps) with dual monitor (both Avalon 225-WT), and native resolution for displays is 1680 x 1050 (I used it on Windows with same configuration).
Displays are connected with, first with VGA cable and second with DVI to VGA adapter, and then VGA cable.
So first when I installed Ubuntu desktop available resolutions was 800x600 and 1024x768. Then when I installed driver I can see 1152x864 and 1366x768.
I tried few ways of installing (which I found by googling) and since I'm new at this I don't know which way is the best to deal with.
So first I tried with Additional Drivers from Control Panel. There were more than one option so I took last version. That didn't made success so I tried going with cvt 1680 1050 60 and adding new mode with xrandr. But problem is when I try to use "addmode" in format
xrandr --addmode DVI-I-0 (or VGA-0) "1680x1050_60.00" it says:
"Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)". I need mention that when I used newmode it created new mode in HDMI section, since my graphic card supports HDMI also.
Last option was that I tried using Ctrl + Alt + F1 and stoping lightdm; sudo init 3; and executing .run file that I downloaded from Nvidia site.
What ever I googled, and what ever I tried, it was useless.
My motherboard also supports display but I'm not using it.
Also, just to mention. My displays are not recognized in display settings. Just seeing "Unknown display".
Best regards, and thank you.
