Hi,
Im trying to get 1920x1080 px. resolution on my kubuntu 11.10 i915 chipset system. Up to now things were normal by using the xrandr method in XSetup file. But when i tried to use a VGA splitter everything messed up! I cant find a way to say the kubuntu "do not try auto set anything!!!" i want to enter the output resolution will be 1920x1080 manually no matter what is the edid e.t.c !!! Im very pissed of cause i can easily use this splitter with 1920x1080 resol. with my win 7 system easily.
Up to now i tried to configure and change the settings of Xorg.conf file passing i915.modeset to kernel with grub and using xrandr (add mode and set output to this mode) methods.
I think i need to change settings at driver level.
Please somebody lead me to "strictly" "forcely" "..." set the resolution!
BTW: How can i set the KMS "video=xxx" setting? in which file?
Thanks in advance.

I'm going to give u Idea so you can see why you cant force a resolution because it may be out of signal range..

Since xrandr starts at loading Desktop. You can run xrandr -q and get exceptable levels for Resolution anything out side those levels gives you an out of range for monitor.

Now you can make a .xprofile in home folder and tell it what resolution to use. Not sure if your going to get out of range or xrandr reset the picture.. good luck.
