Problems with screen resolution, Xorg conf doesn't exists
Hi!, I just do a fresh fedora 21 install, before I had fedora 21 (but updated from 20).
My laptop is a Rv415-A0ACL. The problem: Fedora doesn't recognize my screen and the maximum resolution is wrong
Using xrandr
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 1024 x 768, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768
default connected primary 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm
1024x768 0.00*
The maximum resolution of my laptop is 1366 x 768, I don't have any Xorg configuration file under /etc/X11 so I don't know how to continue to solve my problem.
I don't think X actually needs that file any more but will use it if it exists. The most recent version on my desktop hasn't been changed since August 2013. BTW, the file's name is xorg.conf, not Xorg.conf and everything in Linux is relentlessly case sensitive, so it's possible that you're just mistyping the name. Also, it's possible to create the file manually if needed; check with
man xorg.conffor details. If you do create one, you'll need to log out and back in to try it. (If it doesn't work well, log into a CLI console to rename it.)I try to create it using Xorg -config, (X-server closed with init 3) and it throws segmentation fault :/
Well yes, it would.
Xorg -configis used to specify the config file. What you need isXorg -configurewhich will write a new xorg.conf, but must be done as root.My mistake, I was using
Xorg -configureThat's OK; tish happens. More important is, did you do it as root, e.g.,
sudo Xorg -configurebecause it won't work if you don't.
