Laptop Screen Resolution

[Member pascalmania]

Hello team, I wonder if I can change my screen resolution to a higher value. When I look at the Nvidia X Server Settings, or Control Center > ARandR, the maximum set is 1366×768. My gpu is Nvidia GT240M, and before I switched to Antix, I could use higher resolution in microsoft windows, can we try something for that?

I think you are using the right resolution with 1366 x 768.It looks to me it’s your laptopscreen what we are talking about, which is not capable of higher resolution.Are you sure it was higher in windows ?

I can’t remember the exact resolution maybe I remember it wrong. If everything looks normal, you can close the topic, sorry for making you busy.

Maybe when you hook in an external screen it can run at higher resolution. On my laptops they need to be connected when I boot to appear.
