| + | === Using video modes not available according to EDID === |
| + | Normally the monitor tells the computer what its supported combinations of resolution and refresh rates (video modes) are. This system is called EDID. |
| + | If for some reason you want to use a mode that is not in the list of EDID modes, you have to add it yourself. This is typically the case if you use an analog connections to the monitor. |
| + | |
| + | Before adding a mode you have to allow it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf (this file may not exist yet), the crux is in the line containing ''AllowNonEdidModes'': |
| + | Section "Monitor" |
| + | Identifier "Monitor0" |
| + | VendorName "Unknown" |
| + | ModelName "Idek Iiyama HM903DADTA" |
| + | HorizSync 30.0 - 133.0 |
| + | VertRefresh 50.0 - 200.0 |
| + | Option "DPMS" |
| + | EndSection |
| + | |
| + | Section "Device" |
| + | Identifier "Device0" |
| + | Driver "nvidia" |
| + | VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" |
| + | BoardName "GeForce GTX 770" |
| + | Option "ModeValidation" "AllowNonEdidModes" |
| + | EndSection |

| + | To add a 144 Hz 1024x768 mode do the following: |
| + | xrandr --newmode "1024x768_144.00" 169.30 1024 1104 1216 1408 768 769 772 835 -HSync +Vsync |
| + | xrandr --addmode DVI-I-0 1024x768_144.00 |
| + | xrandr --output DVI-I-0 --mode 1024x768_144.00 |
