X does not use Detailed Timing Descriptor from monitor's EDID.

[stolk]

My monitor is a panel with native 1280x768 resolution, which is described in the EDID's DTD.

X will come up using a 1024x768 mode instead.

Xorg.0.log

[stolk]

I tried using xrandr --newmode and xrandr --addmode to force it to 1280x768, which gave me a black screen.

Stopping and restarting lightdm resulted in a 1024x768 resolution again.

hello stolk,

a simalar issue we had on starfive VF2 and please try

vi /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf 2) Add display-setup-script=xrandr -s 1280x768 under [Seat:*] 3) Reboot the system or type “systemctl restart lightdm”
