Mode Not Displayed

  1. cvt 1600 900

    Whatever resolution you need goes here 1920x1080, 3840x2160, etc.

  2. Copy line that starts with Modeline

    • sudo xrandr --newmode [...copied line minus the word Modeline...]

      The –newmode flag or optarg notifies the system of a new Modeline

    • sudo xrandr --addmode {vga,Virtual}-{0,1} "1600x900_60.00" #Virtual-1

      Included Virtual for Virtual Machines (Slackware can be tricky)

    • sudo xrandr --output Virtual-1 --mode "1600x900_60.00"

      Whatever output display and mode needed

  3. ARandR or System Settings > Display > select new option generated: 1600x900

    If you don’t see the newly generated option reboot and check again
