A month ago I had problems, after an Ubuntu upgrade, getting my screen
resolution above 1024x768.
In this forum I was given a link to the script below to fix the problem
and it did! Joy.
Now I tried to run a video and the screen went back to unknown and set
to 1024x768 :(
I ran the script again, and I get the following result:
stephen@avalon:~/scripts$ ./get-edid.py VGA-1
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./get-edid.py", line 65, in <module>
edid_bin = get_edid_for_connector(connector_name)
File "./get-edid.py", line 51, in get_edid_for_connector
edid_str = slurp_edid_string(i)
File "./get-edid.py", line 39, in slurp_edid_string
assert re.match(r'\tEDID:', output_lines[line_num+1])
AssertionError
I do not know anything about Python. Can someone help me figure this out?
Many thanks
