Hello,
I have installed Slackware 14.2 in a brand new Dell Inspiron 13 5000 series. Slackware installation went surprisingly well with no problems, but I'm having a hard time configuring the X windows.
I was able to run startx (I use i3wm) without any specific xorg configuration file. However the default font size for all programs are too small and everything stays almost unreadable. I have googled and since it happens at all programs I open I saw that it must be a problem with the resolution of the X window. I have been googling for an hour or so trying to find how to set the resolution but I can't find an answer.
I tried to run krandrtray command to set the resolution but only the current one (1920x1080) is available.
I tried to run xorgsetup to create a .xorg but if I do when I try to call startx an error message appears saying that no screen was found.
I tried X -configure but it says that the number of screens counted is incorrect.
I tried to force startx with a --dpi argument but it makes the X session to crash.
I have run out of ideas and most of the answers I find on google are rather very old and/or confusing.
Im not sure which commands output are informative in this situation. My output to lspci -vnn is below.
Any ideas on how I could change the resolution? Thanks!
