Hello, I am having trouble setting screen resolution using MAX2 with HDMI port on Linux mint laptop.
When I plug it in and run the monitor app it works but the only screen resolution available is 2104 X 1506. Such tiny icons and text is causing eye strain defeating the purpose of e-ink.
I wish to use 1024 X 768 (or 1152X864) so that the text is big enough to read.
Using windows 7 on the same computer I can switch to 1024X768 in the control panel and it works so I assume it must be possible to make it work also in linux?
I have tried the following:
sudo cvt 1024 768
1600x900 59.95 Hz (CVT 1.44M9) hsync: 55.99 kHz; pclk: 118.25 MHz
Modeline "1024x768_75.00" 82.00 1024 1088 1192 1360 768 771 775 805 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --newmode "1024x768_75.00" 82.00 1024 1088 1192 1360 768 771 775 805 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode HDMI-1 "1024x768_75.00"
after which the 1024 X 768 option appear in the display preferences drop down. however when I choose this setting the BOOX monitior freezes the display. If I exit the monitor app and try again I just get a black screen.
I also tried typing in
xrandr --output HDMI-1 --mode 1024x768_75.00
but still no luck. I do not have much knowledge of linux so please could someone guide me how to change to a lower resolution.
Thanks
