Unix & Linux Asked by Sergej Matsypa on October 30, 2021
I have xUbuntu 18.04.4 LTS (XFCE 4.12 + 4.15.0-111 Linux kernel) on the Dell Vostro 3360 laptop.
When I connected the external display (Samsung SyncMaster T240) via VGA cable – all is good and I got such xrandr output:
xrandr -q
***
VGA-1 connected 1920x1200+1366+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 518mm x 324mm
1920x1200 59.95*+
***
But when I connected this one via HDMI cable the size of this display isn’t detected correcltly (in the XFCE Display window it shows as Samsung 7") and I got such output:
***
xrandr -q
HDMI-1 connected 1920x1200+1366+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 160mm x 90mm
1920x1200 59.95*+
***
Accordingly, some apps such as Viber or Caliber are displayed with "huge controls".
How I can fix this problem (desirable – not only for this display, but for HDMI-connections at all)?
UPDATED.
for now looks like problem is in EDID-information that is sending by external-display via HDMI (and NO, xrandr --fbmm
doesn’t works…)
So, I solved my problem in such way:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="drm.debug=14 log_buf_len=20M debug drm.edid_firmware=HDMI-A-1:edid/edid1.bin quiet splash"
(and executed sudo update-grub then)Answered by Sergej Matsypa on October 30, 2021
