Reporting a failure in the gnumeric.tcz and open-vm-tools.tcz extensions

To change the resolution, do I change it on the switch to mode 1366x768 @ 60.0 line?

I don't understand what you mean?

Do you want to change to a different resolution or is 1366x768 OK?

Hi Juanito, how are you?

Yes, I want to switch to a resolution other than 1366x768.

I need a slightly lower resolution to check if it will make it easier to read texts, due to the high resolution, the texts are very small. Furthermore, it is important for me to learn to change the resolution according to the maximum capacity of each monitor. So the learning is complete.

Thank you.

Oi Juanito, tudo bem?

Sim, desejo mudar para uma resolução diferente de 1366x768.

Necessito de uma resolução um pouco menor para verificar se vai facilitar a leitura de textos, devido a resolução alta, os textos ficam muito pequenos. Além do mais, é importante para mim aprender a alterar a resolução conforme a capacidade máxima de cada monitor. Assim o aprendizado fica completo.

Obrigado.

Why don't you use a bigger font? Anything other than the native resolution of the display will make the text fuzzy and harder to read.

[Juanito]

As said, it is better to use the native resolution of your display, but in case you want to change the resolution you can do something like this:

Code: [Select]

$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1366 x 768, maximum 32767 x 32767
eDP1 connected primary 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 280mm x 160mm
   1366x768      60.00*+  40.00 
   1280x720      59.74 
   1024x768      60.00 
   1024x576      60.00    59.90    59.82 
   960x540       60.00    59.63    59.82 
   800x600       60.32    56.25 
   864x486       60.00    59.92    59.57 
   640x480       59.94 
   720x405       59.51    60.00    58.99 
   680x384       60.00 
   640x360       59.84    59.32    60.00 
DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)This shows that the video output being used is "eDP1" and the resultion in use is "1366x768". It also lists the currently available resolutions.

You can then create an xorg.conf snippet in /usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d such that:

Code: [Select]

$ cat /usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-resolution.conf
Section "Device"
        Identifier     "Intel HD4400"
        Driver         "intel"
        Option         "monitor-eDP1" "eDP1"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier     "eDP1"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier     "Default Screen"
        Device         "Intel HD4400"
        Monitor        "eDP1"
        DefaultDepth   24
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth         24
                Modes         "1024x768"
        EndSubSection
EndSectionAfter exiting to the console prompt and "startx" the resolution will be 1024x768.
