Issue with setting up resolution in Xorg and Xrandr

I installed arch about 3 days ago and I haven't been able to set the resolution to my monitor, which is 1920x1080 (just for clarity's sake I downloaded nouveau and nvidia drivers). Xorg miss-detected it and though I edited the xorg.conf file it just doesn't work. So I tried using Xrandr and follow the steps to adding (

 xrandr --addmode DVI-I-0 "1920x1080_60.00" 

) my resolution to the list of modes but I always recieve the following error:

X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  140 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  18 (RRAddOutputMode)
  Serial number of failed request:  45
  Current serial number in output stream:  46

I have seen people with the same issue but never with answears to it.

Here's some information you might want to know:

Output of Xrandr:

Please use code tags, https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode and post your xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General
You're most likely running on the VESA or fbdev driver.

Re: Issue with setting up resolution in Xorg and Xrandr

That's only a part of the org log (looks like the tail) and lacks all the crucial parts.

I swear that's the only part of the log that I have... I don't know if there's a way to see more stuff but making a

  cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log 

it's the only things I recieve
