I was redirected to the developer forum to ask for help - I hope this is the proper place to do so.
I’m running Ubuntu 20.04 on my Laptop with GTX 1660 Ti and a 1920x1024 display and connect my Samsung Syncmaster 275t plus (native resolution 1920x1200) via HDMI. However, try as I may, I am only able to get it to connect with 1920x1024, but not with the full resolution supported by my monitor.
I tried adding a new configuration via:
xrandr --newmode “1920x1200_60.00” 193.25 1920 2056 2256 2592 1200 1203 1209 1245 -hsync +vsync
and then assigning it to HDMI-0 via:
xrandr --addmode HDMI-0 1920x1200_60.00
but this fails with:
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 140 (RANDR)
Minor opcode of failed request: 18 (RRAddOutputMode)
Serial number of failed request: 37
Current serial number in output stream: 38
Also trying to follow several instructions on the web to manipulate xorg.conf led nowhere, since no such file was available on my computer. I created and edit one from nvidia-settings, but that seems to be ignored as well.
I cannot believe it is impossible to display 1920x1200 through HDMI on GeForce GTX 1660 Ti. Please advise!
