General TC > Tiny Core Netbooks

[SOLVED] Screen Resolution 1024x600

<< < (5/7) > >>

tinypoodle:
In framebuffer or Xvesa?

Marco Trapanese:
framebuffer

this is my boot command:


--- Code: ---kernel /boot/bzImage quiet tinycore tce=sda3 text vga=577

--- End code ---

and this the entry in /home/tc/.xsession


--- Code: ---/usr/local/bin/Xfbdev -mouse /dev/input/mice,5 -nolisten tcp -I >/dev/null 2>&1&

--- End code ---

Are you using TC 3.0 with KMS?

Xfbdev will use whatever resolution the framebuffer has, I think, but 915 resolution can set native resolution for Xvesa regardless of framebuffer.

Marco Trapanese:
I'm running TC 3.0, but what's KMS?

I'm not sure to correctly understand your sentence and the thread you linked.
Are you saying I can't get my netbook work at 1024x600 in framebuffer?

I am not sure what you do not understand.
Xfbdev will use whatever resolution of framebuffer as is before starting X.
Xvesa could be "tricked" into native resolution by using 915resolution.

The thread I linked discusses native resolution in framebuffer.
No, I am not saying you can't your netbook work at 1024x600 in framebuffer.
See the link to approaches of solutions in the linked thread.
Personally I have never used uvesafb (neither patched bootloader)

Best resolution I get with vga=ask is 800x600 (which makes images look distorted on framebuffer console)
