Last week I was trying to fix a tearing issue with the graphics when running this game called Path of Exile using Wine.

I came across the Poe Forums and read a post. Long story short, I entered this command:

If your on nvidia and have horizontal tearing do this. Poe is running good now (hit a 250 spike today and not going too low), the tearing was consistent and annoying. Something about pipeline
Unfortunately, this is a common problem with Nvidia graphics, but not one that's difficult to fix. Run this command in the terminal:

nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="nvidia-auto-select +0+0 {
ForceFullCompositionPipeline = On }"

There were more steps to this but I did not proceed as it didn't change anything.

It didn't fix my issue with the screen tearing, and I did eventually find a fix to it.

However, today when I went to work, I turned on my laptop and I noticed both my resolutions on my 2x27 in Monitors were messed up. About a 1/3 of the top and bottom were just pitch black and the resolution was all funky.

I went into my Display settings and tried to change the resolution to find the ONLY option I had was 1440x576. This is a problem because they ran on 2560x1440 since I've been working here.

I went onto this website: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-change-display-resolution-settings-using-xrandr.html

I ran the following commands:

cvt 2560 1440

xrandr --newmode "2560x1440_60.00" 312.25 2560 2752 3024 3488 1440 1443 1448 1493 -hsync +vsync

xrandr --addmode DVI-I-1-1 2560x1440_60.00 - This is for Monitor 1

xrandr --addmode DVI-I-2-2 2560x1440_60.00 - This is for Monitor 2

I got it to work :) Now I need to make the changes permanent

PATH="/usr/bin:$PATH"

OLD_IFS=$IFS

xrandr --newmode "2560x1440" 60.00 312.25 2560 2752 3024 3488 1440 1443 1448 1493 -hsync +vsync

xrandr --addmode DVI-I-1-1 2560x1440_60.00

xrandr --addmode DVI-I-2-2 2560x1440_60.00

xrandr --output DVI-I-1-1 --mode 2560x1440

xrandr --output DVI-I-2-2 --mode 2560x1440

gdmwhich () {

I followed the instructions and every time I reboot I have to re-do the process to get my resolutions fixed. The only difference now is that after I enter

xrandr --addmode DVI-I-1-1 2560x1440_60.00 - This is for Monitor 1

xrandr --addmode DVI-I-2-2 2560x1440_60.00 - This is for Monitor 2

these strings into the terminal. I don't have to manually go to my display and change the resolutions, it will automatically change it for me.

Anyone know how I can make these changes permanent?
Sorry I don't even know how I made this mess.

Cheers and thanks,
