I tried to see if it will change but after updates but.... no changes. I am new to fedora! I am mainly using it to train and become better in web - app development. I have a Compaq 6910p resolution 1280 x 800 ( WXGA ) GRaphics Intel GMA 695. Can I force change the resolution to 1280 x800?
Firstly, you need to now the Id of your output (screen) with
xrandr -q | grep connected
You will see something like
eDP1 connected primary 2880x1620+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 340mm x 190mm
eDP1 is your output.
Modify from manpage of xrandr, to Forces to use a 1024x768 mode on an output called eDP1:
xrandr --newmode "mymode" 63.50 1024 1072 1176 1328 768 771 775 798 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode eDP1 mymode
xrandr --output eDP1 --mode mymode
You don't need sudo to run xrandr.
input xrandr -q | grep connected Output: xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default default connected primary 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm
others: xrandr: cannot find output "eDP1" warning: output eDP1 not found; ignoring
@dechen: firstly, the goal of JonthueM87 is a resolution of 1280 x 800, not 1024x768. Secondly, could you be more explicit please: I imagine "63.50" is the desired frequency, but what are "1072 1176 1328" and "771 775 798"?

What resolution do you get, and how have you tried to change it?
1024 x 768. I am thinking of trying xrandr but I know little of itl
