[SOLVED]Boot problem after creating Xorg config 10-monitor.conf

I followed wiki and created

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf

file with the following content:

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier             "Monitor0"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier             "Device0"
    Driver                 "vesa" #Choose the driver used for this monitor
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier             "Screen0"  #Collapse Monitor and Device section to Screen section
    Device                 "Device0"
    Monitor                "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth           16 #Choose the depth (16||24)
    SubSection             "Display"
        Depth              16
        Modes               "1440x900_60.00"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

I've only changed this line.

    Modes         "1440x900_60.00"

Now when I choose Arch linux in the GRUB, it doesn't boot. Well it looks like it's booting, some interfaces, like display manager are launching with status [OK], but then never actually shows up. Now I'm trying to at least delete that file.

Prehistory: When i was adding additional memory cards(RAM) from several different manufacturers(they weren't very сompatible) my display resolution changed on all operaing systems(windows 10, Arch linux, linux Mint). I quickly changed resolution in Windows, but having a headache in Arch. In XFCE display configuration I couldn't change resolution, because there is no option for my monitor. Similar issue with Xrandr.

Re: [SOLVED]Boot problem after creating Xorg config 10-monitor.conf

Can you not change terminals with Ctrl+Alt+F2?

Sorry, I ddn't get what you mean smile. Maybe you mean when i failed to boot, i was introduced to terminal, but there's no terminal, I can only ctrl + alt + del to restart.

Re: [SOLVED]Boot problem after creating Xorg config 10-monitor.conf

Did you try pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2 when there was no terminal on tty1?
If that fails Systemd#Change_default_target_to_boot_into
If that fails use live media chroot in and disable whatever service starts X.
Then post the Xorg.log from X failing,  remove/rename the 10-monitor.conf and post the Xorg.log from X which should now start.

Thank you I just switched terminal removed and logged to arch.

Re: [SOLVED]Boot problem after creating Xorg config 10-monitor.conf

loqs, can you please help me with my resolution? You seem to be a real expert.  Why it's changed in the first place? Why I wasn't able to boot after following wiki?

I use integrated Intel graphics. this programs are installed mesa, xf86-video-intel, lib32-mesa

Re: [SOLVED]Boot problem after creating Xorg config 10-monitor.conf

Which wiki page are you following?  Generally one should not need a monitor.conf file.  What problem are you trying to solve with the monitor.conf?  You've only vaguely referred to some resolution problem after switching ram (this really makes no sense).  If you want help with that problem you're going to have to tell us about that problem.

If you do need a monitor.conf file, then you need to follow the commented instructions to revise it.  Why are you trying to use the vesa driver?  Have you installed the vesa driver?

Re: [SOLVED]Boot problem after creating Xorg config 10-monitor.conf

Which wiki page are you following?  Generally one should not need a monitor.conf file.  What problem are you trying to solve with the monitor.conf?  You've only vaguely referred to some resolution problem after switching ram (this really makes no sense).  If you want help with that problem you're going to have to tell us about that problem.

If you do need a monitor.conf file, then you need to follow the commented instructions to revise it.  Why are you trying to use the vesa driver?  Have you installed the vesa driver?

Wiki Getting started https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xorg
I also tried Display size and DPI but it's not what I want.

Display resolution change to small resolution is a common thing I thought. Sometimes it changes due to сut off electricity and or when you force shutdown by pressing the shutdown button. It's not a big deal if you are a windows user, since you can quickly restore your resolution. I don't know how to explain it more. It was 1440x900 and became 1024x768.

I haven't installed the vesa driver. Because I didn't know what driver uses my monitor.

Re: [SOLVED]Boot problem after creating Xorg config 10-monitor.conf

A similar monitor.conf is on that page - but as the note says, it should not be needed unless you are on a headless system.

You've said you installed the intel driver and from the xorg log, that is the one in use.  But your monitor.conf tries to force X to use the vesa driver which is not as good and more importantly, it is not installed.  That is likely the cause of the problems.

I've never heard of resolution changing as a result of a power cut or forced shutdown (not in linux anyways).

Remove the 10-monitor.conf, boot into X, then post the output of `xrandr`.

I was desperate and was trying almost everything i've read.

hmmm. I thought a monitor driver is different than a video chipset driver. I know it's stupid, because I never ever have installed monitor driver in my life.

  resolution:    96x96 dots per inch

While I was in the xrandr wiki, I've found "Troubleshooting" section and there "Adding undetected resolutions" paragraph, which was just what I was looking for. I haven't scrolled that far earlier which is to blame my lazy and fearful mind.

I've tested my desired resolution and it's looking fine, so I've created /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf to set it permanently, with the following content:

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "VGA1"
    Modeline "1440x900_60.00"  106.50  1440 1528 1672 1904  900 903 909 934 -hsync +vsync
    Option "PreferredMode" "1440x900_60.00"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Monitor "VGA1"
    DefaultDepth 24
    SubSection "Display"
        Modes "1440x900_60.00"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier "Device0"
    Driver "intel"
EndSection

'xrandr' after:

Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1440 x 900, maximum 32767 x 32767
DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

   1440x900_60.00  59.89* 
VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

If it works(I'm sure it will) after rebooting I'll change the title to SOLVED. Thank you all for the participation, I'm about to become a full stack web developer so I need stable linux badly.

Re: [SOLVED]Boot problem after creating Xorg config 10-monitor.conf

I mean this only as a constructive criticism, but there is a problem in the contradiction indicated here:

You were trying everything you read, but you weren't reading much it would seem.  Read more, try less.  Especially given this:

It's not the system that needs to be stable so much as the user (or developer).

Re: [SOLVED]Boot problem after creating Xorg config 10-monitor.conf

After booting to system I have to set resolution in XFCE Display settings, now everything works.
