Title: 1366x768 resolution on samsung TV connected via HDMI
Post by: manit123 on March 24, 2014, 05:01:02 AM: i have a samsung LCD tv (http://www.samsung.com/africa_en/consumer/tv-audio-video/television/lcd-tv/LA32E420E2RXXA) connected via HDMI to Radeon HD5450 graphic card installed in PCI slot of my motherboard of my CPU .
I added xsetup to kernel line of boot entry so that i am asked about setting resolution at startup.
1366x768 - no such option appears .
i get 'unable to get monitor information' on running lxrandr.

Post by: bmarkus on March 25, 2014, 05:42:09 AM: Xorg 7.4? WHich TC version are you using?
Title: Re: 1366x768 resolution on samsung TV connected via HDMI
Post by: tinypoodle on March 25, 2014, 05:54:32 AM: You are running Xvesa.

It might help if you also report the behavior of xrandr, each time you report about lxrandr.

Post by: bmarkus on March 25, 2014, 06:27:30 AM: According to your ps list you are running Xvesa, not Xorg. It is easy. xrandr doesn't work with Xvesa. Install Xorg-7.6.tcz

Post by: gerald_clark on March 26, 2014, 12:08:21 AM: If you are connecting via HDMI, be sure the VGA connector is not connected.
