Xubuntu - Second monitor not recognised by OS - xrandr addmode kinda works

ru flag

Igel H830C have one display port and one DVI-I port. I have connected two monitors via adapters (HDMI to DVI-I and HDMI to display port). Monitor (DELL U2520D) is working without any problems. However when I'm connecting 6.5" LCD (board pcb800099) its not recognized by OS (Xubbuntu - Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS) at all. I have checked both adapters and 6.5 LCD on PC/laptop with windows and they are working correctly.

sudo xrandr

I was trying something like that: xrandr --output HDMI-1 --mode 800x600 but got: xrandr: cannot find mode "800x600"

then I tryed:

xrandr --addmode HDMI-1 800x600

and suprise suprise it have worked! Kinda, Screen is displaying, but resolution is off, and "Display" app still do not recognize this screen.

Did you look to see if this device is expected to work on Ubuntu?

@David Not on Ubuntu itself, but it was working with Raspbian OS (can't recall version (around 2019), but without DVI-I -> HDMI adapter, plain HDMI cabel). I changed (trying) RPi to Igel PC since then.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
