which variable stores the screen resolution value
« on: March 02, 2010, 04:50:57 AM »
Hi all,
          When tiny core boots up, it automatically pickup the host's resolution.
How does it pick up and which variable contains that resolution value.??

It is in ~/.xsession, and it defaults to 1024X768x32 when Xvesa is used.

that is the value present in .xsession file under /etc/skel/ but what if the resolution for some other system is different??
Does TinyCore automatically fit itself to the different host resolutions?
if i am wrong, guide me.

If the desired resolution is different than that, it would need to be set by running xsetup.sh.
