X display sizeForum: X and Fluxbox Topic: X display size started by: BoZ Posted by BoZ on Jan. 29 2005,09:00
Hi guys,I am pretty new to linux and DSL in genreral and I have troubles configuring X for my laptop. It is a portege 3010ct and the only boot option that works for graphic mode is xsetup and than choose framebuffer. With this I get a working desktop but it is bigger than my screen. When I switch to VGA out display I get a full size desktop. Apparently I am using 800x600, which should be OK with my display... Any idea? Posted by cbagger01 on Jan. 29 2005,20:35
OK,Try booting with a smaller framebuffer size. If you press the F3 key during bootup, a chart should appear if you are using a newer version of DSL. Follow the instructions for the correct boot command. For example, to boot with 640x480x16bit, type: dsl vga=785 at boot time and then choose the framebuffer Xwindows server.

Thanks for the answer...Thanks to you I found what was my mistake: I was trying to boot with the command line: "dsl base fb800x600" which doesn't work... Try, fail, learn... BoZ |
