Screen Resolution Issue

42578 · 2017-12-22 13:30:27

Hello! I'm a noobie in bunsenlabs. So, my problem is this: I have a laptop with 1920x1080 60Hz but I have HD resolution. I have already try to change but doesn't work.

My xrandr have this:

xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 1024 x 768, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768
default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm
1024x768 76.00*

I have a Nvidia 960M and Intel graphics.

Thanks.

The easiest solution here will probably be to disable the NVIDIA card from your firmware ("BIOS") and just run the Intel card, this will improve battery life and should offer a less buggy experience but will incur a performance penalty, for obvious reasons.

I think we need to see your driver support:

lspci -knn | grep -A2 '\''[030[02]\]'

This Debian wiki guide for Optimus machines will need to be followed if you want to use the discrete GPU:

https://wiki.debian.org/Bumblebee

Note that an Xorg configuration file is _not_ needed in a Bumblebee setup, please ignore the post-install message from the NVIDIA driver about running `xorg-config` as it does not apply to Optimus machines.

Thanks for helping me. But, sorry, I don't understand what you say to me.

Head_on_a_Stick · 2017-12-22 14:23:20

Ah, sorry.

Can you please run the `lspci` command (that I posted above) in a terminal and post the results here, thanks!

^ you have no video drivers loaded, that's why the display doesn't work.

OK, I think that's an Intel HD530.[1]

To get that working in BunsenLabs you will need to follow this guide:

https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?id=1185

That will probably get your desktop working with the integrated card, we could look at the GPU later (if you want).

You may find that your wireless card "dies" after switching to the newer kernel but don't worry, we just need to add newer firmware as well to fix that.

If that all sounds like too much work then wait for our next release (called "Helium"), that should support your hardware properly.

I try the first option and the resolution fix, but tint2 have error and I can't open Mozilla.

OK, please try running both programs from a terminal window and post the errors here (in full), thanks.

Hello again.

I reinstall bunsenlabs and now I have wifi and 1920x1080 image, but I don't have more options in xrandr.

OK but it may have been better to try to fix things instead.

I don't have more options in xrandr.

It is easier for us both if you just post the full output of

xrandr

This is always better than trying to describe things, even without a language barrier

I think you will have to upgrade the kernel and video drivers (again) and this time we will add the wireless firmware as well.

First, add the jessie-backports repositories.

Then use this command to install all of the packages that you need:

sudo apt install -t jessie-backports linux-image-amd64 firmware-iwlwifi  xserver-xorg-video-intel libegl1-mesa libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri primus bumblebee-nvidia nvidia-driver

Warning: you will be told that an xorg.conf file is needed but please ignore this message, an Xorg configuration file is _not_ needed for Bumblebee.

To repeat: do not allow debconf to create a xorg.conf file and do not run the `nvidia-xconfig` command!

Reboot to effect the changes and if it all works then you can run applications with your Nvidia card by using:

optirun $application # replace "$application" with the actual name of the application ;)

See all the options with:

optirun --help

Good luck!

*ERROR* blitter: timed out waiting for forcewake ack request.

Oh dear

What happens if you press <Ctrl>+<Alt>+F3 after you see this error?

Hi again. It's been a long time.

Hi try other distros but I WANT to use Bunsenlabs.

So, my state it's this:

-I install Bunsenlabs again;

-I have already install nvidia driver, I follow this guide, https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#Drivers

-When I run the xrandr command I have this:

xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 1024 x 768, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768
default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm
1024x768 76.00*
1920x1080_60.00 (0xe7) 173.000MHz
h: width 1920 start 2048 end 2248 total 2576 skew 0 clock 67.16KHz
v: height 1080 start 1083 end 1088 total 1120 clock 59.96Hz

-My Nvidia it's the 960M

*** WHAT I WAN'T (by this order) ***

-Change my keyboard layout;

-Change my screen resolution to Full HD instead of HD;

-Use Nvidia just for gaming;

-Install Steam;

-Edit Openbox;

-Edit Tint2;

-Edit Conky;

BIG THANKS.

I've merged your new thread, please search the forums for answers to your other questions, that have all been covered before.

Please go through the steps I listed above again for your video problem.

42578 · 2018-01-17 23:13:23

So.

I install nvidia drivers to 960M.

I'm having the problem of xrandr. He doesn't reconize the full hd resolution.

I want to use intel graphics and use nvidia just for gaming.

Thanks.

There are several ways listed on the the Debian wiki, which method did you use?

I have already posted exactly what you need to do:

I use the Debian 8 "Jessie" instructions

You have an Optimus system. Your display is always going to be handled by the Intel graphics. Do not use the guide to install the Nvidia drivers, since that GPU does not handle the display at all.

First get your Intel graphics working correctly as you have already been advised. Then follow the Debian wiki guide to install bumblebee-nvidia if you want to be able to have your Nvidia card handle the 3D rendering in the background. It will hand the finished renders off to the Intel GPU for display; the Intel always handles the display. Do not create an xorg.conf file. I believe you will need to use the nvidia-driver in jessie-backports to support your 960M.
