800x480 resolution for EEEPC

(1/6) > >>

bbelden:
I am wondering if someone could help to set the resolution for my EEEPC. I see this topic has been covered and somebody has solved the problem but they don't explain the steps needed to accomplish it.
thank you.

bbelden:
I am part way there. I have loading at startup, 915resolution.tcz and xbdev.tcz. That part works because after I reboot, if I type "sudo 915resolution -l" in a terminal, it returns 800x480 resolution as an option--something it didn't do before. The problem is when I check tce.installed, it shows the default resolution "1024x600". What am I missing?

Thanks

roberts:
Not having such hardware to confirm, I believe, if 915resolution is working, then try adding

/usr/local/sbin/915resolution 50 800 480

to your /opt/bootlocal.sh

bbelden:
If I put 915resolution and parameters in bootlocal, will I have to restart the x server after I do this?

maro:
Yep, because '/opt/bootlocal.sh' gets run (asynchronously) before the X server during the boot process.

So you could either reboot, or if you just want to test things out it might be enough to 'Exit to Prompt' (i.e. terminate the X server), apply your changes (whatever you've added to '/opt/bootlocal.sh'), and start the X server again (i.e. startx)
