Set resolution options without xrandr
In the past, of course I'd have dug up /etc/X11/xorg.conf with vi, and
edited it, but there is no such file on this system (Jessie).
I've been trying to use xrandr, but I'm clearly missing something that
the instructions I'm finding on superuser isn't giving me.
(http://superuser.com/questions/716795/how-to-adjust-the-screen-resolution-in-debian
)
The worst thing is that it WAS on the proper resolution, then I had a
PSU go south, so powered everything (including the monitor) down, while
I went out to acquire a new PSU, and, upon rebooting after installing
said new PSU, my screen res has gone from a beautiful 1680 x1050 to
1280x768 of some such crap, and looks awful, in my opinion.
I didn't do anything to mess with it, so have no idea why it changed.,
and now the actual default for the monitor ( the 1680 x 1050 ) appears
unavailable to xrandr
Thanks in Advance,
Tony
