          It failed because your output display is isn't called eDP-1, you need to replace it with the one you're using.



          sudo xrandr --addmode `xrandr | grep -e " connected [^(]" | sed -e "s/([A-Z0-9]+) connected.*/1/"` "1920x1080_60.00"


          The command will output your currently connected display, in my case it was LVDS-1



          :~$ xrandr | grep -e " connected [^(]" | sed -e "s/([A-Z0-9]+) connected.*/1/"
          LVDS-1

            It failed because your output display is isn't called eDP-1, you need to replace it with the one you're using.



            sudo xrandr --addmode `xrandr | grep -e " connected [^(]" | sed -e "s/([A-Z0-9]+) connected.*/1/"` "1920x1080_60.00"


            The command will output your currently connected display, in my case it was LVDS-1
