Is it possible to set the screen resolution from within Pd in Debian (with or without externals)?
Yes.
If yes how?
With something like (untested example specific to my setup):
[xrandr --output eDP-1 --mode "1920x1080_60.00"( | [ggee/shell]
My problem is that some older mainboards automatically default to "1280x1024". If I set the screen size in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to "1920x1080" it still shows everything with the lower "1280x1024" resolution. It actually doesn't respond to setting it to a lower resolution either . . .
That problem is orthogonal to the question of "How can I change screen resolution with Pd?". Above answer assumes you're able to change screen resolutions with normal tools. If they fail, the Pd solution will fail too.
Not sure if I would need different graphic drivers for that. I'm on Debian-9.5.0-i386.
I don't know, probably not. I experienced a few times, that only very few modes were listed by default, but modes added manually would work, too.
