[SOLVED] Xorg Resolution and Xorg Errors

MickeyRat · 2017-04-22 15:28:23

I need to describe my setup first. This is an intel I5 with 16GB. Graphics are built in Intel graphics. It doesn't have a VGA port but, I use a VGA KVM switch to get to it through an HDMI to VGA adapter. In that configuration, it doesn't properly detect the monitor resolution (1920x1080). I've been looking at various ways to hard code the resolution. I haven't figured that out yet but, most of the solutions start with looking at the xorg log file. That brings me to my second problem. The xorg log says it crashed even though I have an LXDE desktop running with 1024x768 resolution. Here's my xorg log file.

So how is LXDE running? Any suggestions on forcing the resolution?

The log is probably dated (check the timestamp), depending on how you start X, you'll now find logs in ~/.local/share/xorg.
Please provide that and the output of "xrandr -q", but in general: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xr … esolutions

Thanks for the reply. You were right about the xorg log location and the link you provided solved my problem. Thanks again!!!
