So I have a Samsung P500A2D and have been trying to get it to display properly as it starts at 720p and becomes tiled when the graphic driver starts. I found a forum post on Linux Mint, so I tried it on a live USB of ubuntu (to try it before installing) and found the solution worked. But since installing it, it just wont work
xrandr --newmode "1920x1080x59.93" 138.50 1920 1968 2000 2080 1080 1083 1087 1111 +HSync VSync
xrandr --addmode DP-3 1920x1080x59.93
xrandr --output DP-3 --mode 1920x1080x59.93

I also did inxi -Fxxxrz to check te driver is loaded and it seems to be

I also tried xrandr on its own to see if the resolution was attached and this is what it showed (Ignore the current resolution at the top as I have a second display so I can see what I'm doing)
xrandr

Any help on why it wont work now, because if I can't get it to work I will have to go back to windows which I don't.
Thanks Adam
