[SOLVED] Screen Resolution 1024x600

[Zendrael]

Hi!

Tinycore is great! I really like the system! BUT... i am now working only with my netbook and can not get the default 1024x600 resolution... I heard about 915resolution.tce but i can only connect in internet via wireless (that does not work after tinycore boots up...) So, here is the question(s):

- How to setup the correct resolution?

- It will play videos via mplayer or even flash videos from youtube direct in the browser?

- The Xvesa with tinycore has composite support?

- If i can not find some applications under tinycore package management, is there any specific package from another distro that i have/can use?

Ok, that's a lot of questions... I hope someone can help me.

Thanks!

Couldn't you place the needed extensions on to a pendrive?

Your questions might get answered to a big part by searching the forum.

I have 915resolution.tcz as one of my "onboot" extensions, and I think that it is supposed to work automatically in most cases.  At first, the 1024x600 resolution on my Dell Mini 9 didn't work, but it finally kicked-in for some reason.

By the way, what is the brand-model of your netbook?

I use Mplayer-nodeps.tcz, as it has no dependencies and plays movies within the frame buffer, but there are gtk versions in the TC repository.  You can install mainstream browsers with the proper plug-ins/extensions that will allow you to play video within the browser.

Don't know about composite support in Xvesa.

Don't know about using packages from other distros.

No composite in Xvesa.

I use Mplayer-nodeps.tcz, as it has no dependencies and plays movies within the frame buffer, but there are gtk versions in the TC repository.

Also smplayer.tcz (qt based) works fine as frontend for Mplayer-nodeps.tcz

The first line of my "/home/tc/.xsession" reads:

Code: [Select]

/usr/bin/Xvesa -br -screen 1024x600x24 -shadow -2button -mouse /dev/input/mice -nolisten tcp -I >/dev/null 2>&1 &
What does yours say?

Hello,

sudo Xvesa -listmodes

gives the following information. I have the 915resolution.tcz extension loaded, but do not get the 1024x600 resolution. Help in this regard will be appreciated.

What is output of:

Code: [Select]

sudo 915resolution -l |grep 1024x600
?

[saa_1973]

The output is as below:

Intel chipset detected.  However, 915resolution was unable to determine the chipset type.
Chipset Id: a0108086
Please report this problem to stomljen@yahoo.com

Is it easy for you to try Xorg?
Which version of TC do you refer to?

EDIT: Found 915resolution patched including your chipset here:

[Zendrael]

Thanks by the answers! I will try "playing" more with tinycore in a vrtualmachine before installing.

Thanks for your help. I could use the patched version available from puppy and get the 1024x600 resolution.
However Xorg-7.5.tcz does not work and gives the following error in Xorg.0.log. I would appreciate your suggestion.

Do you have graphics-2.6.33.3-tinycore.tcz loaded? Intel needs it for 2d too.

[tinypoodle]

Xorg could do native resolution without 915resolution, but in case 915resolution works for your chipset, Xvesa should work with native resolution.  

That's why i prefixed the part about patched 915resolution with "EDIT", I found that after already having posted suggestion to try Xorg (meant without 915resolution working).
