VGA monitor display resolution not recognized

Everything worked just find till last update(did it from pamac). The extended dysplay resolution is 1920x1080 but after update highest it can go is 1024x768.
I tired

cvt 1920 1080
xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync  
xrandr --addmode VGA1 1920x1080_60.00
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1920x1080_60.00

the message pops:

xrandr: Configure crtc 1 failed

I can’t roll back since i did not make backup, never tought of it till now :frowning:
Was looking trough forums and arch wiki, did not find solution, also uninstalled xf86-video-intel, did not help, installed it again, nothing…
Here is my inxi -Fxxxz

I hope someone can help me :slight_smile:

I just tried my brother’s monitor over dp and is working perfectly fine, but my vga doesn’t. What could that be?

Also tried

cvt -r 1920 1080
xrandr --newmode "1920x1080R"  138.50  1920 1968 2000 2080  1080 1083 1088 1111 +hsync -vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA1 1920x1080R 
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1920x1080R

The resolution went to 1920x1080, but the edge touching the laptop screen was cut off and resolution lasted till next reboot/logout, then everything went back to not haveing higher resolution than 1024x768
I also dont have /etc/X11/xorg.conf file

I tried removing laptop from dock pluging VGA into it’s own VGA port, everything was find. Moved it back on dock, pluged it in dock’s VGA port again with changed settings (to 1920x1080), everything is working as it should be. Mabe its something wrong with dock, will pay more attention. I’ll mark it as solved,
but the strange thing is that all happend after the after-update reboot :thinking:
Mabe someone will have some explanation,…or not xD

I don’t have any explanation other than some of these docks seem to cause these strange issues. It’s happened with others too with multiple monitors. Glad it’s working now.

Sometimes hardware ain’t what it’s cracked up to be!
