Yes now I have a question again.
In my latest install of Archlabs (macbookpro 13 retina) I use Lightdm . It took some time finding a solution for screen resolution in Openbox (I made a simple homebrewed script) but now I am starting to get irritated over Lightdm. How do I (pre) set screen resolution for Lightdm? Looked through Arch wiki but …
@womp Just so you know, I have read your post but can’t understand what could be causing that. It’s been a little while since I’ve used a display manager so, wish I could offer better support.
Hi and thanks for interest!
Your link and solution should work but after following to the letter with “1680x1050_60.00” “i915” my system hangs on boot with no message just after “/dev/sdb2 clean…”
I did chroot a few times to edit but gave up and deleted so now I back to where I started.
Is your output actually called “Monitor0” (check with xrandr)?
What does the Xorg log for the failed session say?
Try keeping the configuration as minimal as possible, just the Screen section (with the Identifier alone, if that works) and the Display subsection (with just the Mode) and see if that works.
I did throw away my config so I did a rewrite and forgot about the driver there. Anyway, xorg log shows an error “Parse error on line 1 of section InputClass”. Now I am a big fat question mark!
After some testing of the 10-monitor.conf I am puzzled. It has absolutely no effect on screen resolution in lightdm! Maybe I have to change someting in lightdm.conf?
i am having the same problem but i am not using dual monitors with a vga,lightdm pops up blury as openbox deault resolution is 1920x1080,i fixed that problem by editing .profile any help?
yes but i opened display and saved it that way, in arandr i saved the layout and i put
sleep 3 /home/.screenlayout/nameoflayout.sh in .profile but it didnt work for some reason am i missing something? maybe the ~/. in the begining i dont know i have also tried xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1532x834 and dint work
