how to add 1920x1080 resolution

i already tried the arch wiki solution
basically i did this:

cvt 1920 1080

xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00"  173.00  1920 2048 2248 2576  1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync

but it show up this:

X Error of failed request:  BadName (named color or font does not exist)
  Major opcode of failed request:  140 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  16 (RRCreateMode)
  Serial number of failed request:  27
  Current serial number in output stream:  27

how can i fix it?

You can't.
Or maybe you can.
I don't know.

…
The behavior is driver dependent, the present driver tells you that it won't accept that modeline.
Reason: unknown, mostly because the driver and modeline validity is.

Start by posting your Xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General

An alternative approach is to inject an EDID, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel … s_and_EDID
But this won't work w/ eg. the VESA driver, which would explain why you have to add the mode itfp.

Read the whole paragraph, not only some blue box.
The location of the log depends on how you start X11 and if you're trying to grep a relative path, you need to be in the proper $PWD
