[ HOW TO ] Resolution Changing ?!
GNUser:
Hi, xor. Why do you need that particular resolution? The xrandr tool may help you achieve what you want while using one of the available resolutions. xrandr can stretch, rotate, move, and otherwise tweak the graphics in all kinds of clever ways.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xrandr
P.S. I experienced similarly stubborn resolution-related issues in the past. In one case, the problem was caused by the new kernel and/or kernel modules because the newer kernel and modules were the only difference between my "before" and "after" scenarios. So it's conceivable that the reason you have this issue in TC11 but not in TC10 has something to do with the newer kernel in TC11.

I though we determined ARUBA was correct back on page 2 of this thread:

I think firmware-radeon.tcz should also be on that list.
--- Quote ---Chipset name Product name
ARUBA, BARTS, TURKS, CAICOS, CAYMAN HD6450, HD6570, HD6670, HD6790-HD6990, HD64xxM, HD67xxM, HD69xxM, HD7450-HD7670, HD8450, R5 230

Found here:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Radeon#Hardware_detection
ARUBA, BARTS, TURKS, CAICOS, and CAYMAN are all listed in firmware-radeon.tcz.

Then on page 3 he says:
--- Quote from: xor on June 20, 2019, 05:53:47 AM --- ... %99,99 OK :) %00,01 :(
--- Code: ---tc@box:~$ xrandr -q
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1360 x 768, maximum 16384 x 16384
HDMI-0 disconnected primary (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
VGA-0 connected 1360x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 406mm x 229mm
1360x768 60.02*+
1024x768 75.03 60.00
832x624 74.55
800x600 75.00 60.32
640x480 75.00 59.94
720x400 70.08
DVI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
--- End code ---
--- End quote ---
So now he has it working.
He then goes on to say:
--- Quote --- ... after I created the iso file
I started from iso;
The resolution has become old again !?
720x400! ??? :(
where am I doing wrong! ???
--- Code: ---tc@box:~$ xrandr -q
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 720 x 400, current 720 x 400, maximum 720 x 400
default connected 720x400+0+0 0mm x 0mm
720x400 0.00*
--- End code ---
...
--- End quote ---
And now he broke it again.
So what are we currently trying to fix?
Is this an Xorg problem?
Is this a problem because he created an ISO?
Until he does some kind of proper install instead of creating an ISO it will be very difficult to find the problem.
xor:
I realize that this problem is not just a TCL special error.
Before creating the iso file with ezremaster; I know that I have learned to add and remove files to the iso file.
I could not find the directories that should be standard in the [Xorg-7.7-3d.tcz] packages. !
If you create the missing folder and the file "xorg.conf", I think there will be fewer possible errors and problems.
thanks for sparing time and effort

The 1st source of the problem was found.

Juanito:
Are you saying that your monitor does not support 1360x768?
