Hello forum Members,
as I am trying to build an unplugable Kiosk-like Infoscreen an a Raspi 2 I need to autostart a brwoser in Kiosk-Mode. I am running on piCore-6.1_v7-X.img and the only browser I find in the repo there is Midori. I start ist with a script in /home/tc/.X.d/midori.sh wich looks like this
sleep 30
# to wiat for the wifi connection to be established
midori -e Fullscreen &
Midoris homepage is set to the page I like to display.
Anyway, Midori is launched on startup without any toolbar, displaying the right page, but the window size is not fullscreen but only takes a quarter of the screen.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug in midori? I am stuck here - any ideas? Is there a way to install a different browser on 6.2_v7?
Some help is highly appreciated!
Thank you
der Don

I don't know which window managers are available for the Raspberry Pi, but I would try one like Openbox, if available, which you can configure so that it starts a certain program maximized, borderless, and without a window bar.

Openbox 3.6.1 is in the repo. Midori can be the browser you are looking for. You can start it fullscreen and configure for kiosk use, see
https://wiki.xfce.org/midori/faq#kiosk_mode
You can try to start without a window manager, it was discussed in the past several times for various browsers for the x86 version if I'm right.
