Thank you! That link got me to Joy, but with a hiccup and a bit of a
mystery.
I quickly found the solution to the hiccup.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/851704/xrandr-errors-badname-named-color-or-font-does-not-exist
The line:
xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00" 172.80 1920 2040 2248 2576 1080 1081
1084 1118 -HSync +Vsync
uses the name "1920x1080_60.00", and xrandr no longer likes it. I just
used the name "1080p". I am guessing that the "_" is the problem, but I
did not test that.
I was working from the command line and did the --addmode from there. My
display went crazy, and I had to do a soft boot.
The system came back in 1920x1080 (!) Joy. I did not have to use the
--ouput step, and fix seems permanent.
Cheers!
