I have files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d rw-r--r--. 1 silentm silentm 311 Jul 9 13:25 00-keyboard.conf -rw-r--r--. 1 silentm silentm 328 Jul 9 14:28 01-display.conf
This is my 01-display.conf # This file goes into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "3840x2160" "1920x1080" "1600x1200" "1440x900" "1368x768" "1360x768" "1366x768" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection
That looks fine. But the X log file shows its NOT being used. Why ?

Why is my xorg.conf.d files not being used ?

So what I thought was happening is not. Files are being read.
The issue is /var/log/messages shows the 3840x2160 resolution - but when I goto the Settings->Display the highest resolution is 1920x1080. This is native not a guest VM. Trying to fix the issue.

So it is loading my 01-driver.conf file and 01-display.conf file As Screen0 and "Intel Graphics" specify that.
But its kicking out the 3840x2160 mode? Why.
Any pointers?

I think you should find more information inside /var/log/Xorg.0.log. What does it print about 3840x2160 modes? The same as in messages or something like "Not using mode...."? BTW: what is the video card you are using and the corresponding driver?
