hi everybody
i've just bought a SAMSUNG S27A850D monitor, capable of 2560x1440 resolution it has DVI input
i attached the HDMI output from my Acer 5742g notebook using an adaptor
unfortunately the computer has an Optimus NVIDIA GT540M, and i use Bumblebee, the default driver is therefore the intel one
the monitor is recognised and the EDID read, but the maximum resolution in the settings is 1920x1200
adding a New Mode with xrandr i can get the full resolution:
the problem is the display is badly pixelated and looks like the RGB subpixeling goes wrong (see the attached picture)
the fonts are very small, smaller than the change in resolution can justify
do you have an idea of what can go wrong?
thanks in advance
