Testing kubuntu from usb stick. Single, wired, Viewsonic 14415 monitor. I use the following commands to add 1920x1280 mode:
cvt 1920 1280
xrandr --newmode "1920x1280_60.00" 206.25 1920 2056 2256 2592 1280 1283 1293 1327 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA-1 "1920x1280_60.00"
No errors with any of that, and the 1920x1280 mode shows up on the Display Settings screen. When I try using this mode I get the "out of range" error from the monitor. This is the resolution I use on windows with no problems. Thank you for any assistance!
