Off-Topic - Tiny Core Lounge / Re: TCL desktop display

« Last post by gadget42 on October 01, 2026, 04:31:58 AM »

i understand Juanto

but how come it takes the forum 7 or 8 posts to even BEGIN to approach the issue LOGICALLY....?

How long have you been supporting people here?.........surely you immediately must address what BOOT style it is and as i continually stated it's DEFAULT for everything...

how can it take the forum 7 posts and wild goose chases and 8 recommendations THAT DO NOT WORK AT ALL............and waste time?..........when you have been doing this 20 years?

Why....?......i know the Answer.......i am just wondering if YOU DO?...........( i don't want to be rude)

Ai......gives the EXACT accurate answer.......... in under 10 seconds.......

@vinceASPECT, with respect to the above quotation AND your "got this screen issue solved" post(https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=28281.msg183974#msg183974)

@Juanito replied correctly in his FIRST post/reply to your OP(Original Post)

you could always PM an admin/mod to remove the contents of the above quoted post now that it appears the first reply/response was the solution. thanks.

and naturally, if that happens, then this post may be removed as well....just sayin'. Sigh.

You can call it 10-vbox or similar and put it in /usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d

This worked in virtualbox to set my screen to 1366x768 using VBoxSVGA:

Code: [Select]

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "vbox"
        Driver         "modesetting"
        Option          "VGA-1" "laptop"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "laptop"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Device        "vbox"
        Monitor       "laptop"
        DefaultDepth  24
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth          24
                Modes         "1366x768" "1280x1024"  "1024x768"
        EndSubSection
EndSection
When using VMSVGA substitute Virtual-1 for VGA-1
