Notebook HP Probook 6560B. (i5 2540m, integrated graphics intel hd3000)

The Notebook has only integrated graphics card.

Monitor connected via cable Display Port => HDMI.

In settings, I have only full-hd resolution 1920x1080.

My steps:

gtf 2560 1080 60

xrandr --newmode "TEST" 230.76 2560 2728 3000 3440 1080 1081 1084 1118 -HSync +Vsync

xrandr --addmode HDMI-3 "TEST"

xrandr --output HDMI-3 --mode "TEST"

After these steps resolution not changed.

xrandr with verbose:

xrandr --output HDMI-3 --mode "TEST" --verbose

crtc 1:         TEST  60.00 +0+0 "HDMI-3"

xrandr: Configure crtc 1 failed

crtc 0: disable

crtc 1: disable

screen 0: revert

crtc 0: revert

crtc 1: revert

In the settings appears resolution for 2560x1080, and when I trying set this resolution, the image is becoming broken and appearing two errors.

New resolution =>

First Error =>

Second Error =>

Also, I tried to connect via ATcom adapter, and I didn't get the result. Resolution left to 1920x1080.

I installed windows 7 on this notebook and drivers for video card. The monitor is working correctly with resolution 2560x1080.

SOLUTION:

When I set update frequency to 50Hz, the monitor is started working correctly.

Steps:

gtf 2560 1080 50



# 2560x1080 @ 50.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 55.60 kHz; pclk: 188.60 MHz

  Modeline "2560x1080_50.00"  188.60  2560 2704 2976 3392  1080 1081 1084 1112  -HSync +Vsync



    xrandr --newmode "TEST" 188.60  2560 2704 2976 3392  1080 1081 1084 1112  -HSync +Vsync

    xrandr --addmode HDMI-3 "TEST"

    xrandr --output HDMI-3 --mode "TEST"

I added a script to autoload resolution with start system.

I got script from there => Script for autoload resolution

I created file .xprofile and changed script for my needs:

#!/bin/sh

MODE_NAME="ULTRAWIDE"

OUTPUT="HDMI-3"

CONNECTED_OUTPUT=$(xrandr --current | grep -i $OUTPUT | cut -f2 -d' ')



if [ "$CONNECTED_OUTPUT" == "connected" ];

then

# SET 2560x1080 50 HZ

xrandr --newmode "$MODE_NAME" 188.60  2560 2704 2976 3392  1080 1081 1084 1112  -HSync +Vsync

xrandr --addmode HDMI-3 "$MODE_NAME"

else

   echo "ULTRAWIDE IS NOT DETECTED !"

fi

Tks!

I added two commands in .xconfig:

To open:
sudo gedit ~/.xprofile

#!/bin/sh

MODE_NAME="ULTRAWIDE"

OUTPUT="HDMI-3"

CONNECTED_OUTPUT=$(xrandr --current | grep -i $OUTPUT | cut -f2 -d' ')



if [ "$CONNECTED_OUTPUT" == "connected" ];

then

# SET 2560x1080 50 HZ

xrandr --newmode "$MODE_NAME" 188.60  2560 2704 2976 3392  1080 1081 1084 1112  -HSync +Vsync

xrandr --addmode HDMI-3 "$MODE_NAME"

xrandr --output HDMI-3 --mode "$MODE_NAME"

xrandr --output HDMI-3 --primary

else

   echo "ULTRAWIDE IS NOT DETECTED !"

fi
