I got the same problem

I tried multiple resolutions, because I thought the rather large resolution of my tablet 2048x1536 could be too much for my video card, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=185937.

But the error persists. Anyone with a suggestion to fix this?

I haven't used the tutorial for a long time and I have a new tablet now, so I don't know if it still works. Lately I'm a little busy, but I will try all the steps as soon as possible. I hope we can make it work.

I've used the script right now and everything worked fine for me. This is a sign the script itself, in general, is working fine.

Seems like an specific problem they both are facing, regarding their specific scenario/environment.

I would recommend you guys facing this issue to provide more detailed information about your environment. At least the xrandr output (without parameters, xrandr alone). So other people can try to understand and figure out a solution.

Also when you try xrandr with parameters, please include --verbose so the program will try to output more details on why it simply failed. This will help us all troubleshoot.

Also avoid the expression "same problem", lets try to always use "maybe a similar issue" instead. Only after completely exhausting the possibilities framing an issue and resolving it, if every single detail is the same, we can conclude it was the same.

Best regards,

I've tried all the steps and everything is working fine for me.

As @hudsantos comments, please provide more information about your environment when opening a issue so we can help you (@apt-x4869 , @pfeffer90 ). And if you finally solved the problem please leave here a comment with the workaround for anyone who find a similar error.

Mine worked but the tablet is mirroring the screen and I was unable to switch to extended screen mode. My linux is ubuntu, I've tried to change the monitor settings, but he doesn't recognize that he has a second screen to be able to configure. Is it a problem with recognizing the command:
xrandr --output HDMI-1-1 --mode 1280x800_60.00 --left-of eDP-1-1 ?
I've tried switching to right and it didn't work either.
Indeed, there was a variation with my pc that instead of HDMI-1-1 and eDP-1-1 informed me HDMI-1 and DP-1

I have something that maybe can be useful. My error was

xrandr: Configure crtc 2 failed

By reading this article I tried to use arandr. Then I discovered another unused port I didn't saw listed first time I ran xrandr. Using DisplayPort-0 instead DVI-0 solves my problem.

I share here the output of the different commands as reference:

Then using DisplayPort-0 it worked.

OS: Zorin OS 16
Graphics: Intel® UHD Graphics for 11th Gen Intel®
In the processor specs clearly it mentions "# of Displays Supported is 4"

Also xrandr command lists four DPs

DP-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
1366x768 59.79
1920x1080 60.06
DP-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-4 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

Then there should be no issue creating a virtual monitor. But getting the same error.

xrandr --output DP-1 --mode 1920x1080 --right-of HDMI-1 --verbose

Hi all,
I am getting same error as I am trying to implement custom size on display. My actual display driver supports 960x480. The size I want is 960x288.
