How to set default resolution

Disclaimer: First distro and French (sorry if you see grammar mistakes).

Hi there!

I just discover arch and I'm loving it so far, but one major problem I've encountered is that I can't figure out how to set a default screen resolution.
I can change it with xrandr but I have to type this command every time.

Things I've tried:

  • Adding exec xrandr --output <my_screen> --mode <my_resolution> to my .bashrc. Result change the resolution the first time I opened a terminal.

  • Adding exec xrandr ... to my i3 config file. Result: don't work

  • Following https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xo … ng_started Result: fuck up my computer, I get an error when logging and it gets back to the login prompt. It is possible that I have configured wrongly the file

Hope somebody can spare a few minutes to help me, thanks guys !

Re: How to set default resolution

Normally X detects the correct resolution by itself, what card / driver are you using ?

How do you start X ?

the output of lspci -k and xorg log ( look in /var/.log and ~/.local/share/xorg for latest one ) would also help .

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Re: How to set default resolution

Yeah I don't know if X correctly guess my screen resolution but it is very small by default.

Here the output of lspci -k

Re: How to set default resolution

Putting the xrandr command in a shellrc file would not only be unreliable, but will also cause problems.

Putting the xrandr command in your ~/.xinitrc on the other hand would do just what you want - assuming your start X in a way that reads ~/.xinitrc which is likely why you were asked how you start X.

Re: How to set default resolution

Keep in mind that this is first ever Linux distrib, so I'm still learning.

How can I know how X is started?

Re: How to set default resolution

With the wiki to install it, once I was able to log in a friend help me install gnome and i3.

Is this a good response for "How do you start X "?

Re: How to set default resolution

No, you'd usually be using xinit, startx or some DM. Also gnome defaults to wayland.
Finally: you xorg log says a 1920x1080 modeline is added and ultimately 1600x900 is used on eDP1 what sounds like a pretty normal notebook display.

So I'd challenge your observations itfp.
=> What's the output of "xrandr -q" and what did your vendor advertise to sell you?

Re: How to set default resolution

No that's not a very helpful response.  You should probably ask your friend for help as not only do we not know how your system is configured, you don't even know how your system is configured.  It will be very difficult for you to get any support on these forums (now or in the future).  Your "friend" did you a great disservice.  Either they should now commit to doing your system maintenance for you indefinitely - or you should go back a few steps and learn what you are doing so you can maintain your own system.

Yes by default it is 1920x1080 and I need to switch to 1600x900 by myself using xrandr in a terminal. I want 1600x900 to be the default screen resolution. I use startx I think.

Here is xrandr -q

Re: How to set default resolution

This looks like an xy problem - why would you want to use a upscaled, probably blurry, output?
W/o setting the resolution: 

xdpyinfo | grep resolution

Is the physical monitor about 31cm x 17cm of size (I mean: in doubt use a ruler to figure that)

And figure how you start X11. Regardless of starting X11, you can configure it like /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-myblurrymonitor.conf

Section "Monitor"
   Identifier "eDP1"
   Option "PreferredMode" "1600x900"
EndSection

Notice that the forum is not meant to ask yourself through what you should have looked up in the wiki first. Notably installation and basic configuration.

edit: far too many blanks ... ;-)
