Use gtf to create a mode line
gtf 1804 1014 59.9
Add new mode using xrandr
xrandr --newmode "1804x1014_59.90" 151.95 1808 1920 2112 2416 1014 1015 1018 1050 -HSync +Vsync
Add this newly added mode
xrandr --addmode VGA 1804x1014_59.90
Choose the new mode
xrandr --output VGA --mode 1804x1014_59.90
TO MAKE THE CHANGES PERSISTENT
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
MAKE SURE YOU ADD YOUR NEW RESOLUTION TO THE MODES LINE
Modes "..." "1804x1014" "...."

Unfortuanately I'm not as technical as most people on Linux. I just want to change the resolution, but its not working. Which sucks because I have a decent monitor and a decent video card. sigh – Darby Gallagher May 18 '15 at 19:22

Got to the xrandr --addmode VGA 1804x1014_59.90 stage and it says "xrandr: cannot find output "VGA" – Darby Gallagher May 18 '15 at 19:23

I really need help with this. I can't seem to figure out how to get it to the native resolution of my monitor. – Darby Gallagher Jun 04 '15 at 22:07
