MX Linux Forum

I will do that and report back - it may be tomorrow is that OK? Thank you again.

No such file or directory is reported, when I ran the xorg.conf command. And I tried your previous suggestion in MX Tweak, to no avail.

It's a laptop I'm afraid

This is the first distro I have tried on this laptop

OK thank you

Shall I give it up as a bad job?

Yes, just updated the kernel.

Hi, thank you. Both resolutions you mention appear in Display - Resolution. However, when I select either one of them, the screen turns black for a few seconds then goes back to 2880 x 1800. In other words, no change.

I have also updated the kernel as you suggested. No change.

Here is the output:

$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2880 x 1800, maximum 16384 x 16384
eDP-1 connected 2880x1800+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 302mm x 188mm
2880x1800 90.00*+
2880x1620 59.96 59.97
2560x1600 59.99 59.97
2560x1440 59.99 59.99 59.96 59.95 ...

I have to go away from my PC now, but will post back in the morning (UK time). Thank you - speak tomorrow hopefully.
