Radeon HD 4250: how to get 2560 x 1440 resolution

Ask Fedora

Hello,
I’ve a new monitor (Philips E 275E2) and I want to use 2560 x 1440 .
My graphic card supports 25601600 @60Hz on DVI-D port.
I’m stuck on 1980x1080 :
xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192
VGA-0 disconnected primary (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

640x480 75.00 72.81 66.67 60.00 59.94

I’ve tried to add several linemode with xrandr:
xrandr --newmode “2560x1440_55.00” 284.00 2560 2744 3016 3472 1440 1443 1448 1489 -hsync +vsync

The result is always a black screen with the message “searching”

What you posted shows 2 modes for that resolution, and DTD 1 is the preferred. All you should need to do is use xrandr to set the corresponding values. This all supposes the driver for the card supports it. You said the card is supposed to support that, but does the driver?

I don’t know how to get this information.
The driver is radeon:

And then?
I need help

I’m assuming you’re using Xorg. Please put your /var/log/Xorg.0.log and dmesg on https://paste.centos.org/ and link here.
