I am fresh new on linux and tring to connect on a TV
http://www.cnet.com/products/samsung-ln-s325d/specs/ using DVI.
Problem: The screen resolution isn't good :(
I've tried many things with the xrandr command, but in the end, the new mode just doesn't work (black screen).
Here is the terminal:
frank@frank-Mint ~ $ cvt 1366 768
# 1368x768 59.88 Hz (CVT) hsync: 47.79 kHz; pclk: 85.25 MHz
Modeline "1368x768_60.00" 85.25 1368 1440 1576 1784 768 771 781 798 -hsync +vsync
frank@frank-Mint ~ $ xrandr --newmode "1368x768_60.00" 85.25 1368 1440 1576 1784 768 771 781 798 -hsync +vsync
frank@frank-Mint ~ $ xrandr --addmode DVI-1 "1368x768_60.00"
From there,
frank@frank-Mint ~ $ xrandr --output DVI-1 --mode 1368x768_60.00
or system settings > Display >1368x768 (16:9)
just gives me a black screen saying the mode is not available
I have tried many other resolutions, but any custom resolutions do that.
Anyone have an idea? thanks! :)

frank@frank-Mint ~ $ xrandr
