How to set a custom resolution?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I tried to use xrandr to set 1680x1050 as a new mode to VGA output, but it says:
sudo xrandr --addmode VGA-0 1680
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 140 (RANDR)
Minor opcode of failed request: 18 (RRAddOutputMode)
Serial number of failed request: 35
Current serial number in output stream: 36

First generate a "modeline" by using cvt
Syntax is: cvt width height refreshrate
cvt 1680 1050 60
this gives you:
# 1680x1050 59.95 Hz (CVT 1.76MA) hsync: 65.29 kHz; pclk: 146.25 MHz
Modeline "1680x1050_60.00" 146.25 1680 1784 1960 2240 1050 1053 1059 1089 -hsync +vsync
Now tell this to xrandr:
xrandr --newmode "1680x1050_60.00" 146.25 1680 1784 1960 2240 1050 1053 1059 1089 -hsync +vsync
Then you can now add it to the table of possible resolutions of an output of your choice:
xrandr --addmode VGA-0 1680x1050_60.00
The changes are lost after reboot, to set up the resolution persistently, create the file ~/.xprofile with the content:
#!/bin/sh
xrandr --newmode "1680x1050_60.00" 146.25 1680 1784 1960 2240 1050 1053 1059 1089 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA-0 1680x1050_60.00

The connected device might not beVGA-0. If you get the messagexrandr: cannot find output "VGA-0", try running the following command:xrandr | grep -e " connected [^(]" | sed -e "s/([A-Z0-9]+) connected.*/1/"(source: xrandr on ArchWiki). The output of that command should be the correct device identifier.

Thanks to thom and thirdender this is basically a single command configuration based on the most voted answer.
RES="1920 1200 60" &&
DISP=$(xrandr | grep -e " connected [^(]" | sed -e "s/([A-Z0-9]+) connected.*/1/") &&
MODELINE=$(cvt $(echo $RES) | grep -e "Modeline [^(]" | sed -r 's/.*Modeline (.*)/1/') &&
MODERES=$(echo $MODELINE | grep -o -P '(?<=").*(?=")') &&
cat > ~/.xprofile << _EOF
#!/bin/sh
xrandr --newmode $MODELINE
xrandr --addmode $DISP $MODERES
_EOF
The above command will generate the desired ~/.xprofile file. Just make sure you use the resolution (i.e. the RES variable) of your liking. More info here.

Thanks to thom and thirdender this is basically a single command configuration based on the most voted answer.
RES="1920 1200 60" &&
DISP=$(xrandr | grep -e " connected [^(]" | sed -e "s/([A-Z0-9]+) connected.*/1/") &&
MODELINE=$(cvt $(echo $RES) | grep -e "Modeline [^(]" | sed -r 's/.*Modeline (.*)/1/') &&
MODERES=$(echo $MODELINE | grep -o -P '(?<=").*(?=")') &&
cat > ~/.xprofile << _EOF
#!/bin/sh
xrandr --newmode $MODELINE
xrandr --addmode $DISP $MODERES
_EOF
The above command will generate the desired ~/.xprofile file. Just make sure you use the resolution (i.e. the RES variable) of your liking. More info here.
