I tried following these instructions: https://askubuntu.com/questions/377937/h...ion#377944

Screen resolution gets all weird.
Added screenshot of PBP standard resolution, and another where the custom resolution has been added. Does anyone understand why this happens?

Why did you set the external monitor to "Rotation: Counterclockwise"?

Or are you saying you can't get it working any other way?


Some monitors allow rotating 90 degrees, so that certain applications, like print publishing, can better represent the content, (a page of paper). Thus, many OSes now support rotating monitors logicaly to support the physical rotation.

Unless the example in the link is for counterclockwise, which I did not get the impression it was, then I didn't. I've simply replaced the width and height for what my monitor wants, and it showed up as "counterclockwise" in the display settings. My monitor is not to be rotated in other words.
Do you know how to remove this option from the display settings for a monitor perhaps?

I'd try simply changing the menu option. Whence changed, it should save the change for future logins.

If that does not work, I don't have any information handy on how to force it to be un-rotated.

For some reason there are only the clockwise and counterclockwise options.
If I do choose to set the resolution I get the following error (cant copy it, have uploaded a screenshot of the dialog Screen3).
After that the screen goes dark, and if I go into the display settings dialog again the monitor is "flipped" off, and after turning it on again on the panel in the dialog I now have a bunch of sub 1920x1080 resolutions which were not there before (only the 1920x1080). I tried adding the mode with xrandr with 60hz, but it made no difference.

I also tried (although don't know ifts correct) setting the mode via terminal:
$ sudo xrandr --output "DP-1" --mode "2560x1080_60.00" --rotate normal
xrandr: screen cannot be larger than 4096x4096 (desired size 4480x1080)

Last time I checked 4096x4096 is smaller than 2560x1080  so I have no idea what thats about.

4480x1080 is completely wrong resolution for my screen, but none the less I tried setting it. This actually adds the screen as "normal" and not counterclockwise, but gives me error of "screen4" attached file.

If anyone else has any ideas on how to proceed, I'm all ears.
