I was using this little script to fix the resolution of my screen since ubuntu fails to detect it


xrandr --newmode "1440x900_60.00" 106.50 1440 1528 1672 1904 900 903 909 934 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA-1 1440x900_60.00
xrandr --output VGA-1 --mode 1440x900_60.00


This is not working anymore after upgrading to Ubuntu 17.10 and I'm stuck at 1024x168

the following error appears when I execute this script

X Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist) Major opcode of failed request: 140 (RANDR)
Minor opcode of failed request: 16 (RRCreateMode)
Serial number of failed request: 18
Current serial number in output stream: 18
xrandr: cannot find output "VGA-1"
warning: output VGA-1 not found; ignoring

after trying several solutions online I got a new error:

xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed
