Hi Guys,
Well after all my troubles with the ASRock MB, I'm now running a Gigabyte
Z68P-DS3 which only has a HDMI output. So I managed to get hold of a HDMI
to DVI cable, but I can only get 1024x768 :(
$ xrandr -q
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 8192 x 8192
VGA1 connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm
x 0mm
1024x768 60.0*
800x600 60.3 56.2
848x480 60.0
640x480 59.9
HDMI1 connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
474mm x 296mm
1680x1050 59.9 + 60.0
1280x1024 75.0 60.0
1440x900 59.9
1280x960 60.0
1152x864 75.0
1024x768 75.1 60.0*
832x624 74.6
800x600 75.0 60.3 56.2
640x480 75.0 60.0
720x400 70.1
DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
So it knows the HDMI output supports 1680x1050, but it's picking the VGA
instead
Any idea how to tell it to pick HDMI?
Regards,
Graeme

$ xrandr --output HDMI1 --mode 1680x1050
Will set the display mode properly, but the gnome menu bar (normally on the
bottom) appears in the middle of the screen and logging of reverts back

This is a gnome thing, then. Try switching off VGA completly, gnome
might then adopt to the higher resolution.

xrandr --output VGA1 --off
Or, set the screens to something different than clone mode. Like
xrandr --output HDMI1 --below VGA1
xrandr --output HDMI1 --above VGA1
xrandr --output HDMI1 --left-of VGA1
xrandr --output HDMI1 --right-of VGA1
I may add, this is all very off-topic on this list.

Thanks - That changes to the correct resolution when I logon, but the
logon screen is still low-res. Good enough for now

Well not really, it's a i5 2500K on a Z68 motherboard using the on-die
graphics - I was hoping that there was an i915 module parameter or other
configuration setting which would tell the Intel gfx driver that the
motherboard does not have a VGA connector (only a HDMI)
My bad - I should have explained it a bit better, sorry

Graeme
