Hello everyone,
I am trying to setup my computer as headless server with cinnamon GUI
(sometimes I am unable to achieve what I need with just SSH connection, still new to linux).
I am using NoMachine to connect to the server via my pc or smartphone.
Only problem is that NoMachine headless connection will give me only 640x480 resolution with no way to change it.
That is why I grabbed edid.bin file from nvidia X server app and tried to apply it.
So far went with this thread without any luck.
Also I read the official Arch wiki page on kernel mode setting - section Forcing modes and EDID
and searched for any error in the parameters I wrote.. also with no luck.
I did basically the same thing in debian 11 so I know it can be done.
Can anyone help me with this problem or have any tips how to do it correctly?
Thanx for any answers in advance.
