I presume this screen does support higher resolutions. Is that on an nvidia GPU?

Then please share the output of inxi -Gxxxz

low ledge
#

it shows unknown display vga 1

It would be extremely helpful to have the exact output.

low ledge
#

so

This can only go on if you provide more data, like the output produced by the command I cited. Generic things you can check are:

  • cable not inserted properly
  • cable not rated for higher resolution, or broken
  • screen broken (try another)

also check xrandr for more supported resolutions are available

#

so its then just whats going on beyond the display
driver related is inxi -Ga
if nvidia check if nvidia-smi is working and communicating

You actually have more, but it will not show you anything below 800x600, because that is not enough to render the desktop. The issue here is that your driver either does not load, or does not detect your display correctly.

its even like on windows during a fresh installation
when you dont have a gpu driver and on basic resolution it'll be defaulted too to like 1024x768 resolution until you download the appropriate driver to the gpu

#

as 'common usecases' on most installs

#

reason your screen flickers during 'check windows updates' and install a gpu driver occasionally
but then you want to make sure that gpu driver during windows update is the most recent one reason you commonly check the version from the vender like amd/nvidia
usually you do that with start r msinfo32 and dxdiag (on windows)
often sometimes checking https://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/ and https://www.ccleaner.com/speccy (with speccy make sure its just speccy 'on windows')

for linux its just cpu-x and hardinfo

what should i do now

any info

Alright, this is a Kaveri iGPU with GCN-2 units. It is running on the radeon driver, but I know for a fact that it is also supported by amdgpu. First things first: Why are you running it on the worst possible output? You have it plugged into D-Sub, also called VGA. Does it not have any other graphics outputs?

low ledge
#

i fixed it

#

i should add my own reso in terminal

delicate token

If you are still on that shitty port, you have not fixed it.
