I have a new PC build with the Ryzen 5600G cpu - I'm using it's integrated graphics on the cpu.
I'm using my LG tv as the monitor with an hdmi cable and the screen resolution is 1080p.
When I boot into MX Linux it gives me a default 1360x768 screen resolution.
But when I change the display resolution to 1080p on the display gui - the display is yellowish and dark.

On this site: askubuntu, it says I can do the following from terminal:
I won't be using vim - MX Linux has thunar which I think might be an easier file manager for me.
The instructions for step 5 & 6 are as follows:
Before I modify the xrandr directory can anyone advise if I'm on the right path?
My tv is a bit old although it is 1080p.

The xrandr commands will work in any terminal - take a read of man xrandr to see all the options, if you want.

But, I'm surprised that the menu doesn't have a GUI program to set it, they used to, just remember to 'save' it before closing the program.

P.S. Vim is an editor, not a file manager.

Thank you. The XFCE 'Display' window will allow toggling between different screen resolutions.
But it doesn't look like a true 1080p display.
Also the Start panel with all the applications cannot be seen in this mode.
If I change the xrandr directory and reboot - will the Start panel be seen?

I have MX Linux on usb. But I don't know if it has persistence.
Should I test out xrandr on live usb perhaps?

Can you right click on the desktop & get the menu, (I haven't used MX in a while so can't remember if that works or not).

Ah yes, good point. I usually use gedit to edit files.
I used vim and followed the instructions on the OS on my SSD (not live usb) - but unfortunately it hasn't worked.
I'll ask the mx linux forum.


Thank you for this link - it was really helpful to configure MX.

Wow finally resolved the problem.

On MX Linux (21 Wildflower) I did this:

1. On the XFCE pop-up panel press the Applications Menu icon.
2. On the pop up menu press Settings on the right side.
3. Now scroll down to Display on the left side of the menu.

4. The Display window will appear to modify screen resolution.
5. On the General tab select 1920x1080 (mine was 1360x768 by default).
6. DON'T press 'Apply'.
7. Press the Advanced tab and select the small icon to 'Create a new display profile'.
8. You will be prompted to create a display resolution profile. Input any name - mine is 'hd-display'.
9. Press the 'Create' button.
10. Activate the 3 buttons below for 'Connecting Displays' and 'Identifying Displays'.
11. Now press 'Apply'.
12. After the screen resolution has changed - press the 'Keep this configuration' button.

Now the Display window will keep a record of your display profile on the 'Advanced' tab.
Thankfully the icons and panel hadn't become too small. But their resolution was higher.
I repeated the process above and created a second profile at 1360x768 resolution.
Now I can toggle between the two.

So the MX Linux gui interface has worked effectively and seamlessly.
