            @usman_tahir880 Sorry, I've never had this problem, just know that some people have this problem and the gnubit user's instructions on the link I sent to you are very helpful.
            But, I saw that you're running the terminal through your cell phone, have you stopped the Emulationstation before?
            Since you are in a laptop, why not run the terminal directly from the laptop?

                  As @Zing has mentioned you will need to kill emulation station first, here is another thread which might help:

                    https://ibb.co/nCvnMp

                    I just accidentally press forward slash key.

                    I had also tried after kill emulation by pressing F4.

                      did you stop ES from root terminal from your laptop ?

                      /etc/init.d/S31emulationstation stop

                      then xrandr to list your displays

                          I think it can be display driver issue because i had read some logs mentioned this.

                          HDMI1 mode not available.

                                Read this:
                                https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1947733
                                https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=867506&page=2
                                https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution

                                I may be wrong, but from what I understand the problem is with "xorg.conf" (or its absence).
                                If so, these links will help:
                                https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_xorg.conf
                                https://askubuntu.com/questions/217758/how-to-make-an-xorg-conf-file

                                Read the information for all the links, and test the suggestions (make a backup of your image before, by security).
                                I do not have this problem, and I'm not a programmer, so I do not know the exact answer to your problem. So it is best that you test the options we are showing you, and give us feedback (positive or negative).

                                        @usman_tahir880 Say everything you tried and what the result of each command, otherwise it is impossible to help you without knowing what happens. For example: What is the result of the "Xorg: 1 -configure" command? Have you tried this command already?
