[SEMI-FIXED] Asus VW193DR Resolution issue

#1 Post by f0x »

Hi,

I started using Debian Sid yesterday, and I have a problem with my Asus VW193DR monitor.
It's supposed to be 1440x900, and worked fine like that on Funtoo. On Debian however, the display is weirdly stretched, and cuts off.
OSD > System Setup > Information now says it's running at 1152x870, which explains why it's acting weirdly.
Xrandr however does not show that as a valid mode:

Code: Select all

VGA-1 connected 1440x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 408mm x 255mm
   1440x900      59.89*+  74.98
   1280x1024     75.02    60.02
   1280x960      60.00
   1280x800      74.93    59.81
   1152x864      75.00
   1024x768      75.03    70.07    60.00
   832x624       74.55
   800x600       72.19    75.00    60.32    56.25
   640x480       75.00    72.81    66.67    59.94
   720x400       70.08
(1152x864 comes close, but that still looks weird, and I want to use it at it's best, 1440x900)
My setup:
Debian Sid
Lenovo Y500
i3wm
Nvidia GT650M with Nouveau drivers
ASUS VW193DR connected through VGA

For a very brief period of time yesterday a "configuring" message popped up and it went to 1440x900, but after going to sleep it came back at 1152x870, and I haven't been able to reproduce that

[EDIT] holding the monitor button triggers auto adjust, but that doesn't fix anything anymore

I did a sort-of fix by putting my VGA through a VGA-HDMI adaptor, which made the monitor work on the right resolution again.
