On Thursday, December 1, 2022 9:41 PM, I started a thread (same title as this
minus "part 2"), with:
> Out of the blue today, my usual screen resolution (1920x1200) became
> unavailable.
Despite many helpful suggestions, the problem wasn't resolved. Since I
was about to get a new desktop, I figured I could give up. This history may
all be irrelevant.
Today I have my new desktop and did a clean install of Bullseye. I call fvwm
with startx, and once again my screen is 1024x768. New desktop, new cable,
same monitor (Dell U2412Mb), now connected DVI to Display Port. I tested
another Dell monitor connected HDMI to HDMI and had the same problem, so I
don't guess the problem is in the monitor.
The system sees the monitor as "default" rather than VGA, DP, DVI, or HDMI.
I was able to define a new mode 1920x1200 with xrandr, but xrandr --addmode
fails because I can't find an "output name" that works. At the bottom are
some of the outputs that were requested in the previous thread.
On the motherboard (ASUS - Z790M-PLUS Prime D4 Intel LGA 1700 microATX), the
NIC is apparently not supported yet by Debian, and I had to put in a second
NIC. Do I have to add a graphics card too now to get 1920x1200?
Thanks.
