VGA to HDMI converter presenting as very small screen












-1















I just bought a vga to hdmi converter to use for a slideshow. It presents as a 4:3 device with a resolution of 1024 by 768. I'm using a thinkpad w540 with antergos linux. Is there any way I could lie to the machine and get it present as a custom resolution? After all it shouldn't matter what I give to the TV so long as it's the same ratio (16:9).



I installed the nvidia drivers using the nvidia-install script with bumblebee.

I've added the most recent Xorg log I could find on my system.

  • Please could you include your Xorg log in the question? It should show details of all detected displays, as well as the driver used for the integrated graphics chip (which will be used in preference to the discrete Nvidia one).

  • @JigglyNaga I've added the most recent Xorg log I found on my system. Is there anything else I should provide? I'm really not sure what to look for.

  • That logfile suggests that you've deliberately disabled EDID. Could you look under xorg.conf.d to try to find the file that did that?

  • @JigglyNaga What's EDID and grep'ing under /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ I don't see any mention of that? I only see "10-nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf", "10-quirks.conf", "40-libinput.conf"

  • EDID is Extended Display Identification Data, which is one way for the screen to indicate its capabilities. This line: (**) NVIDIA(0): Option "UseEDID" "false" says that a config file entry turned it off. If you can find the file that did that, and enable it, you might get more resolution options.

I just bought a vga to hdmi converter to use for a slideshow. It presents as a 4:3 device with a resolution of 1024 by 768. I'm using a thinkpad w540 with antergos linux. Is there any way I could lie to the machine and get it present as a custom resolution? After all it shouldn't matter what I give to the TV so long as it's the same ratio (16:9).



I installed the nvidia drivers using the nvidia-install script with bumblebee.

I've added the most recent Xorg log I could find on my system.

  • Please could you include your Xorg log in the question? It should show details of all detected displays, as well as the driver used for the integrated graphics chip (which will be used in preference to the discrete Nvidia one).

  • @JigglyNaga I've added the most recent Xorg log I found on my system. Is there anything else I should provide? I'm really not sure what to look for.

  • That logfile suggests that you've deliberately disabled EDID. Could you look under xorg.conf.d to try to find the file that did that?

  • @JigglyNaga What's EDID and grep'ing under /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ I don't see any mention of that? I only see "10-nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf", "10-quirks.conf", "40-libinput.conf"

  • EDID is Extended Display Identification Data, which is one way for the screen to indicate its capabilities. This line: (**) NVIDIA(0): Option "UseEDID" "false" says that a config file entry turned it off. If you can find the file that did that, and enable it, you might get more resolution options.

I just bought a vga to hdmi converter to use for a slideshow. It presents as a 4:3 device with a resolution of 1024 by 768. I'm using a thinkpad w540 with antergos linux. Is there any way I could lie to the machine and get it present as a custom resolution? After all it shouldn't matter what I give to the TV so long as it's the same ratio (16:9).



I installed the nvidia drivers using the nvidia-install script with bumblebee.

I've added the most recent Xorg log I could find on my system.

I just bought a vga to hdmi converter to use for a slideshow. It presents as a 4:3 device with a resolution of 1024 by 768. I'm using a thinkpad w540 with antergos linux. Is there any way I could lie to the machine and get it present as a custom resolution? After all it shouldn't matter what I give to the TV so long as it's the same ratio (16:9).



I installed the nvidia drivers using the nvidia-install script with bumblebee.

I've added the most recent Xorg log I could find on my system.

  • Please could you include your Xorg log in the question? It should show details of all detected displays, as well as the driver used for the integrated graphics chip (which will be used in preference to the discrete Nvidia one).

  • @JigglyNaga I've added the most recent Xorg log I found on my system. Is there anything else I should provide? I'm really not sure what to look for.

  • That logfile suggests that you've deliberately disabled EDID. Could you look under xorg.conf.d to try to find the file that did that?

  • @JigglyNaga What's EDID and grep'ing under /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ I don't see any mention of that? I only see "10-nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf", "10-quirks.conf", "40-libinput.conf"

  • EDID is Extended Display Identification Data, which is one way for the screen to indicate its capabilities. This line: (**) NVIDIA(0): Option "UseEDID" "false" says that a config file entry turned it off. If you can find the file that did that, and enable it, you might get more resolution options.
