Ludovic, thanks for the feedback. The Z590 chipset is new (March 2021), but I did see that someone had installed linux on it and so assumed it could be done. I don't see Gigabyte's specification of the video chip. The lspci command returns VGA compatible controller: Intel ...

Someone running ubuntu lacked video and had luck by installing the 5.10.0-1019-oem kernel and updating some drivers to testing. But that was no screen at all, and others don't report the problem. The non-free and contrib were already specified in my sources.list. I had not installed firmware-linux but doing so made no diference. > That's for the firmware, as for the drivers, you'll need > xserver-xorg-video-all, that should install everything you need and > then more.

I had assumed that it was the card is that made the dpi modes accessible. > On Tue, 26 Oct 2021, Haines Brown wrote: > > > I just installed Chimera RC on a Gigabyte Z590 machine (incidentally > > it looks like I could autoconfigure wireless with providing firmware). > > When I installed xorg and fluxobox, the display was low resolution. > > Apparently it is a low resolution default. lxrandr offers no other > > accessible resolution. > > > > I here paste the return of inxi on my current machine and then on the > > installation of Chimaera.
