Description of problem: my old monitor dided yesterday, and I want to replace it by an asus VG27AQ, which seems to be impossible because its native resolution is 2560x1440, which is a very common resolution yesterday. what to do? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Created attachment 12936 [details] "other" under resolution in MCC When you press "other" under resolution, you can chose 2560x1440 (16/9). See attachments.
Created attachment 12937 [details] correct resolution
Select automatic (the default). Xorg or Wayland will use the EDID info returned for the monitor's preferred mode. See the output of ... monitor-get-edid |monitor-parse-edid That result will be used early in the boot and by most desktop environments. Both kde plasma and gnome will override the setting based on user settings when they take over the display.

See > attachments. OK, by in my mcc, there was not resolution 2560x1440, but until now, I've never used monitors with such resolution and for Asus?

With older versions of X11 and older monitors, the xorg.conf file was needed. Now it can be used to override the recommended settings returned to X11 by the monitor, but is not normally needed. In most cases, the best results are obtained by not having an xorg.conf file, and letting X11 select the correct settings dynamically. mcc will allow selecting specific frequencies and resolutions based on what's in the hardware database, which is based on info from the manufacturers, or by using the custom option and manually specifying the frequencies. Note that older CRT monitors are at risk of being destroyed by using frequencies outside of their supported ranges. Again, note that kde plasma and gnome will both override anything set at the system level. The system level settings will be used by the other desktop environments, and during login only.

Try again... Thank you sturmvogel for the useful screenshots. and Dave for his learned comments. As for "nor asus in the brand list of monitors" and "and for Asus?" I suspect this is academic, in that these days monitors are generally handled automatically or by default generic choices. Would not 'generic monitor' do the trick? BTAIM Assigning to the Mageia tools people for 'Asus' monitors in the list. If it matters, or can be done (what about all the models?).
