hp2011x sefault resolution

[linux-rules]

I I've been using my HP 2011 X. for a number of years .  I use Windows 7, and sometimes  I boot up a LinuxSet up.

But while  I was running the Linux setup. The screen and lack and came back on with the splash screen telling me that this Current resolution was 1024 x 7 68, which is the proper setting for both my windows and my Linux configurations All of the time, but that the monitor was  Now add a recommended 1600 x 900 And as a result my system will not boot beyond a square white splash screen telling me that it is adjusting to 1600 x 900.

But  I never heard of the monitor that would "argue" with what was coming down through the VGA connection from the computer 🙂  it's possible to boot Windows and go to the configuration and change its resolution to bring much whatever  I desire and each change is picked up by the monitor upon reboot, 800x600, and any other resolution  I choose.  So with Windows, one can boot to safe mode and change the internal resolution, and the monitor response to those changes just as it should

.  I connect my Linux system to my plasma screen TV, and it boots up into 1024 x 7 68. Just the way  I want it in the lab and running it for months. The plasma screen TV adjust itself to whatever Linux requests.  I have an old, really old 🙂 17 inch CRT and if  I plug it into the Linux system, Linux, tells it to be 1024 x 7 68, and it boots up just fine in that resolution .  I can use what is called the X. server within Linux to choose any resolution.  I choose, and upon reboot, the monitor reconfigures itself and displays that resolution. 

I'm not getting the HP 2011, to listen to what my operating systems are telling it. It seems that this monitor is determined to be 1600 x 900 or  I get nothing.

I've tried to use the OSD to locate a place where  I can mandatory decide what resolution  I wanted to run in that  I can't find that setting anywhere

.

I'm trying to move past the Friday morning frustrations. 🙂 . Can anybody explain to me why this monitor decided that it's no longer going to let any resolutions beyond 1600 x 900 display   ? Am  I incorrect in thinking that  I should be able to manually set up the HP 2011 for my chosen resolution. As long as it is within the specifications. 1024 x 7 68 is certainly within the specifications because when  I turn the monitor on having booted Windows, the on-screen splash display says that  I am running at 1024 x 7 68, except underneath that it's as recommended. 1600 x 900

.

  I like to think I'm very proficient at things like this, but  I never thought beyond the reality of the monitor. Following the specifications given in the VGA connection. With a plasma screen TV and old 17 CRT  I can pick any resolution  I want an they will all pick up those changes upon reboot. The HP 2011 is broken and stuck at 1600 x 1900. Is there an adjustment ? Is there something wrong with my thinking about how this works?

Much obliged if anyone can shed some light on this.  I have a problem learning or trying things, but  I really do need my computers, and my choice is not to be stuck with Microsoft Windows, where possible.

Thanks for everyone's time and efforts in consideration

Hey there! @linux-rules, 

Did you make any changes to the monitor?

Are you trying to extend, mirror or duplicate the display?

Are you using any adapter to connect the monitor?

Please share the product number of the PC to assist you better.

Connect a straight video cable from the PC to monitor and check if the issue persists.

The Recommended resolution supported by the monitor is (H x V) 1600 x 900 @ 60Hz (same as max and native)

The most common is VGA (SVGA), which allows for resolutions greater than 640x480, such as 800x600 or 1024x768. VGA does not support 1600x900 resolution.

Use a DVI-d connection to get video resolutions up to 1600x900.

Refer the monitor specifications page for more information. Click Here

Also, you can try the steps recommended below and check if it helps.

Use the following instructions to either extend or duplicate the desktop with a second monitor:

1.Right-click anywhere on the desktop.

2.Click Display Settings.

If only one monitor is showing in the window, first verify that the connections are secure between the monitors and the computer. Then, click Detect. If Windows does not recognize both monitors, click Identify. The numbers 1 2, or 3 are shown on the monitor icons to help you identify the monitors.

If Display, Resolution, Orientation, or Multiple displays selections in the Screen Resolution window are dimmed, not allowing you to make the desired changes, see; Configuring the display with the display driver.

3.Use the Multiple displays drop-down list to select one of the following options:

• Duplicate these displays: Show the entire desktop on both displays. 

• Extend these displays: Stretch the desktop across the two displays.

• Show desktop only on 1: Use only display 1 and show nothing on display 2.

• Show desktop only on 2: Use only display 2 and show nothing on display 1.

4.(Optional) To change the direction of the desktop extension (usually left or right to match how the displays are physically positioned), select a monitor and drag it to the desired position.

5.When done, click Apply.

Hope this answers your query!

Have a great day ahead! 🙂
