# Linux - get output name for xrander to add new resolution

###### tags: `linux`

When you are adding new resolution mode, you get a error message.
EX.

#xrandr --addmode VGA 1280x800_60.00
xrandr: cannot find output "VGA"


So, to find your linux output device, by using "xrandr" command.

#xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1280 x 768
default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm
   1024x768    60.0*
   800x600     60.0*
   640x480     60.0*


Then you see "default connected .......", the "default" key word is for you to use in "xrandr" command to change resolution.

EX. "xrandr --output default --mode 1024x768"
