Resolution is too low
« on: January 02, 2013, 08:01:37 AM »
I like TinyCore, but I never managed to set the resolution to a decent value for a big monitor.
(At around 21', you need at least an HD-equivalent resolution!)

So, just for curiosity, could you tell me which resolution did you achieve in your TC installation?

Xvesa (the default) and Xfbdev are limited to standard vesa BIOS resolutions. Use Xorg if you need more.

There are no such limits in Xorg, as long as both your card and display can do it.

Did you try the Xorg-7.6 extension?
