[SOLVED] Resolutions in xrandr and arandr

[Member dj_papeles]

Hi, just installed antix 19.4 and very happy with it, only issue is that in xrandr the only resolution that appear is 1920×1080, this is what xrandr output:

xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 1920 x 1080, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 1920 x 1080
default connected 1920x1080+0+0 0mm x 0mm
   1920x1080      0.00*

and in arandr the same situation, only one resolution, dont know if it helps but here are my inxi:

The machine is using a xorg fbdev driver instead of the intel (or modesetting) driver.
If you make a backup copy of /etc/X11/xorg.conf and remove the original, and then run this command
sudo make-xorg-conf intel -o /etc/X11/xorg.conf
After rebooting, see if the correct intel driver loads properly.

If it doesn’t, log in to the terminal and remove the newly created xorg configuration
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and reboot
sudo reboot
To let xorg select the correct driver. If that doesn’t work, move the xorg.conf backup again to xorg.conf and you will at least return to a working computer. Hopefully some expert can guide you to a different solution.
