### Look eDP-1 "maximum 16384 x 16384 eDP-1 connected" here it is possible eDP-1 is different in yours so change it with yours

$ xrandr --output eDP-1 --mode 1500 900   # Change 1500 900 values as you want

$ cvt 1500 900
```
# 1504x900 59.90 Hz (CVT) hsync: 55.95 kHz; pclk: 111.00 MHz
Modeline "1504x900_60.00"  111.00  1504 1592 1744 1984  900 903 913 934 -hsync +vsync
```
### Copy "1504x900_60.00"  111.00  1504 1592 1744 1984  900 903 913 934 -hsync +vsync from output of `cvt 1500 900`

# xrandr --newmode PASTE_COPIED_LINE
$ xrandr --newmode "1504x900_60.00" 396.25  2880 3096 3408 3936  1620 1623 1628 1679 -hsync +vsync
