Error of failed request badname named color or font does not exist xrandr

Same error on Manjaro:

Hi guys, could you tell me the desktop environment (e.g. Gnome, KDE…) you use?

I’m having the same error using Gnome. Some Google suggested that, for some reason, it’s caused by an underscore in the mode name. Sure enough, running xrandr --newmode "1368x1024_virt" 115.50 1368 1448 1592 1816 1024 1027 1037 1063 -hsync +vsync (the same command VirtScreen runs) fails, while running xrandr --newmode "1368x1024-virt" 115.50 1368 1448 1592 1816 1024 1027 1037 1063 -hsync +vsync (same thing but with the _ replaced with -) worked fine.

Thank for your great job first, and I wonder is there any progress about this, I have the same mistake on ubuntu 18.04. @kbumsik

xrandr does not like the name for the mode, reran the exact command in terminal just replacing the name and it runs fine.

Any chance you could change the suffix VIRT_SCREEN_SUFFIX = «_virt» to VIRT_SCREEN_SUFFIX = «-virt» ? in xrandr.py

I also got the same problem on ubuntu 18.04

Ping! Same on Ubuntu 20.04, Gnome 3.36

Same issue on Ubuntu 20.04 no solution yet!

Any solution for this?

Curently same error on pop_os 20.10

Hey,

Y’all might want to check ~/.profile of your user account —uid 1000 for something like this:

xrandr —newmode «1920x1080_60.00» 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync
xrandr —addmode LVDS-1 1920x1080_60.00
xrandr —output LVDS-1 —mode «1920x1080_60.00»

Comment all three of those out or remove from .profile and add to .xprofile instead if not already there. I duplicated the problem the other day while force setting my resolution on my laptop and stumbled across your forum while looking for the cause of that same annoying error message.

Hope this helps.

I am with Linus on hating Nvidia…..
Before the 300 series driver, the overscan compensation worked perfectly. I set it to 76, whatever that translated to on the border sizes, and saw my entire desktop.
I have searched high and low, and the only solutions that I’ve seen worked for other people either were undocumented (ie they said «I fixed it with xrandr» and nothing else), or I get errors. I’ve been stuck not being able to see whats on the edges of my screen, including my panel, and half my my awn dock.

So far this is what I’ve tried. PLEASE tell me there’s something I’ve missed, or something I’ve misspelled…

Is HDMI-0 listed in

Check your device listing as I suspect you’ve got the name of it wrong.

You might also want to check this, specifically the section on —fb, which you don’t need.

You mean here?

And this might explain why the underscan on/off didn’t work. _Nothing_ is listed as a property under HDMI-0, or anything else for that matter…

Not to mention, he’s going for making the screen bigger than his monitor, I’m on a tv with fuggly overscan, and now way to turn it off.(That’s what I get for buying one on sale…) I want to shrink what is shown, and keep it centered. According to nvidia’s readme, they removed the overscan compensation because the xrandr implementation was easier and better…. HOW is this easier than moving a slider left and right till it’s fixed??

You should play with MetaModes, in particular with ViewPortIn and ViewPortOut. There were cool examples on how to use them for overscan compensation at the nvnews.net forums, but the Linux section there is locked currently. Don’t ask why, let me just say the nvnews.net owner is <continuing this sentence would put me in violation of the Arch Forum Etiquette>

Where exactly did the documentation say the new way is easier, though? All I recall it saying is that it’s more flexible. Which is true, the ViewPortIn/Out stuff is extremely flexible. And they plan very much to add simpler controls to nvidia-settings, they just didn’t get to it yet.

Also, be mad at your TV. I can tell mine what kind of output it’s receiving, and I simply told it it’s a computer, so it knows not to do stupid things to the picture. And finally, Nvidia also provides a long-lived branch (295) if the 3xx series is too bleeding-edge for you.

WOW that was quick…(observation, not a complaint…)

Yeah a good handfull of _really_ usefull looking articles I saw on google were on there, and thus out of reach. They had another breach like the one to their store, and decided to pull the plug till they could clean it up. I hope its not gonna take as long as kernel.org took…

And can the ViewportIn/Out be set in Nvidia settings, or does it have to be done in xorg.conf.d-or-xorg.conf? It’s gonna be a pita to go through and fiddle with the numbers, then restart X and hope it worked, rinse/repeat…

It can be done with nvidia-settings. Not the GUI, but on the command-line, and the option takes effect immediately, no need to restart X. If I could only remember how exactly. The Nvidia devs for sure explained it… at the currently locked nvnews.net forums…

Edit: Google Cache to the rescue, I found it:

nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="DFP-0: 1920x1200 { ViewPortIn=1280x1024, ViewPortOut=1500x1200+210+0}"

Fiddle with the numbers accordingly. This might be helpful: http://askubuntu.com/questions/130088/o … ts-upgrade

i don’t know if this answer your question, but:

xrandr --output VGA-1 --mode 1920x1080 --panning 2880x1620

…would create a desktop bigger than the monitor resolution. It will pan when the mouse reaches the borders.
(change VGA-1 to match your setup)

EDIT-
Ops, didn’t see the thread was SOLVED, sorry.
