Fedora :: Change Console Resolution To 1280x800? (Using Fglrx)?
Mar 25, 2009
I'm using Fedora 10 x86_64 with an ATI Radeon Mobility x1400 video card. Before installing fglrx & compiz, the text console (while booting up) was shown at 1280x800 resolution (laptop widescreen). After installing fglrx & compiz the console would only show up as 640x480 resolution. My resolution in X starts as 1280x800 without any problem. I realize that you can use vga=xxx as a kernel argument but this only works with NON-widescreen resolutions. I require that it be set to a widescreen resolution like it was before the fglrx & compiz installation.

In Windows Vista, I can use 1280x800 resolution. Fedora doesn't have this option in the display settings. The closest is 1280x960, but everything is stretched horizontally with this setting. Is there a way I can manually configure the screen resolution?

I have install Fedora 13 on my machine (Intel 815 Chipset with graphic card of nVidia GeForce 256), but the default resolution of text console wound have be about 1024x768. I intend this machine as a simple samba server (without X Window), so just a low-resolution monitor will work with it. However, this monitor can't work with the resolution higher than 800x600, I have to change the resolution lower. I have searched the solutions for this problem on Google. Most of them thought I should fix /boot/grub/grub.conf, append "vga=769", "vga=771" or even "vga=ask" to the end of the line start with the word "kernel". I have tried but all of them doesn't work. Just like Fedora 13 use the value from the other configure file overwrite the one list in grub.conf. As everyone knows, if I installed and launched X Window on my machine, I could query and change the resolution with command "xrandr". Are there some similar ones that can work on text console?

I have tried this with many different configurations, however, I believe that the scroll bar that shows the progress of the boot is preventing it from changing successfully. I don't know how to switch it off. X is not installed. No gui, only tui.

I have installed Debian 5.0.4 on my Toshiba laptop and I can not set screen resolution to 1280x800. I had Ubuntu and openSuse previsoly installed on Toshiba and had no problems with setting screen resolution. My /etc/X11/xorg.cong looks:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier"Generic Keyboard"
Driver"kbd"
Option"XkbRules""xorg"
Option"XkbModel""pc105"
Option"XkbLayout""hr"
[Code]....
What I need to edit to this file to solve problem? Do I have to install additional software?

I am running 11.1 with an nVidia GeForce FX 5200 graphics card and I have configured the monitor and graphics card via "sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia". My xorg shows all of the correct monitor settings and screen resolutions, yet when I go to the Display settings or nvidia-settings, it does not offer me any of the 16:10 aspect resolutions that are in the xorg.conf file.
Here is my xorg.conf:
# /.../
# SaX generated X11 config file
# Created on: 2010-02-22T00:43:08-0500.

playing with debian I find that I have no answer when I try to resize my console if I wish to use it without a GUI. Are there something that could resize the screen ? In this moment it seems to be 640x480 and it could be better if the resolution could be 800x600. I have tryed to modified /etc/grub/00_header
if [ "x${GRUB_GFXMODE}" = "x" ] ; then GRUB_GFXMODE=800x600 ; fi

I have been running Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop just about since it came out.Prior to that I was running 9.10 on the same laptop. I was so happy with 9.10 I thought I could only be happier with 10.04.I was wrong.There are some things about 9.10 that I have *lost* in the transition to 10.04.These bother me quite a bit so much so that I have repeatedly considered going back to 9.10.Please keep in mind this all worked fine under 9.10 on exactly the same hardware.
1) When I connect the external VGA port on my laptop to my 32 Samsung TV it comes up as a 40 Samsung TV and it is impossible to set the correct resolution.This makes watching TV over the Internet via my notebook impossible (I used to use URL... and others).
2) I cannot change the resolution on the console (the TTY's 1 to 6). It used to come up as standard old fashioned VGA (80 columns by 25 rows of text) but now it is much smaller font and much larger console.The VGA= in GRUB does nothing. And this is the only suggestion I seem to be able to find. From my reading most people seem to like the large console w/ small font.I dislike it for the reason I will get into next
3) DOSEMU locks up my computer with a blank screen when running in super mode on the console.Pressing Ctrl+Alt+F# accomplishes nothing and either does Ctrl+Alt+Del.I have to press and hold the power button forcing a hard shutdown (at least this is the only solution I have found).

I'm a little surprised that I haven't seen any other complaints about their MacBook only going up to a resolution of 1280x800. Does anyone have a configuration for higher resolutions or have any insight into how it might be possible to obtain them? It works in Mac OS X, so it should certainly work in Linux.

virtual console (run level 3,5) screen resolution. After installing fed12 the resolution is higher(which is good) then in previous versions. After upgrading from 11 -> 12 the resolution of the virtual consoles stays the same, to large. I already compared grub.conf,i18n which are the same. Where is the resolution configuration for fed 11,12?

After install of FC13, my command prompt console and tty virtual consoles are a small box in the upper left corner of the screen. It contains tiny 80 characters by 25 rows. I want to fill the screen the old way. I assume the problem is high value screen resolution set automatically to match my display; with fonts based on the smaller pixels. This is NOT X-Windows. I can set that resolution but it has no effect on tty consoles.
It is NOT grub, which I can set with kernel parameter vga=0 to do exactly what I want. Messages from grub are big letters but change to tiny ones at init ("press 'I' for interactive startup" and the beginning of the boot log). This is not an issue with the same display using FC10 and no vga= parameter. Is there a reason that the kernel parameter failed after grub? Can I specify console resolution?

My console display is hard to use and read ever since I installed the ATI fglrx driver (the problem appears with any version of the driver):

I recently reinstalled using the latest "respin" CD ISO. Before that, I had other problems with 10.04, but X and fglrx worked perfectly.
Now, X always comes up in 1600x1200 instead of the monitor native 1920x1200. I am still using the same on-board Radeon 4200. Supposedly this display adapter is very well supported by Linux???
I did an aticonfig --initial as suggested in the Known Lucid Lynx issues/bugs with workarounds thread, but when I restarted X I got a black screen, and when I rebooted, even though xorg.conf now says
Code:
Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1200"
The system still comes up in 1600x1200. Note it is on DVI and I never touched the hardware or put a bad cable on it since it was working with the first install of 10.04.
When I go into Catalyst Control Center, Display Manager, Display Properties tab, the highest resolution available is 1600x1200. I hand-edited X11 and restarted and ran for a while in 1920x1200, but that no longer works. Now I just get a black screen whenever I restart X, and it always starts in 1600x1200.
How do I convince fglrx that I really have a 1920x1200 monitor? (VP2330wb). It is really very blurry in 1600x1200.
EDIT: Ran get-edid, got:
Code:
get-edid: get-edid version 2.0.0
Performing real mode VBE call
Interrupt 0x10 ax=0x4f00 bx=0x0 cx=0x0

I am running Fedora Core 10 x64-bit. My video card is Quadro NVS 285 and the driver installed correctly. However I cannot change resolution above 640 x 320. Even adding resolutions higher than 640 x 320 such as 1600 x 1200 does not work so I created a new xorg.conf with the nvidia tool
Below is my xorg.conf file:
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig: version 270.41.19 Mon May 16 23:52:12 PDT 2011
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Layout0"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
[Code]...
My monitor is a Priceton Graphics VF912. I cannot find ANY information on this monitor on the internet as far as its Horizontal Sync and Refresh Rate. I know it is capable of at least 60 Hz because I have an identical one attached to my windows machine.
Someone please help. I have tried everything: running the xconfigurator tool, the nvidia xconfig tool, maually editing the xorg.conf and adding the resolutions myself and nothing works. Also xranr does not detect my monitor's capability correctly either. My system is an HP xw4300 with all stock parts except hard drive which is 500 gb sata. Using the stock "nv" driver does not give me resolutions above 800 x 600

I am running fedora 11 live cd on a work computer waiting on a new harddrive. Ran knoppix and Gos 3.1 fine. they start at 800x600 but can relatively easily be changed to much better but fedora likes this really low resolution on the monitor 640x480. In Gos I unhide screens and graphics and change it there but fedora doesn't seem to have this basic setting utility. Where is it in fedora or its equivilant. The basic monitor setting only offers the 1 option and even this box is not fully visible, ok and cancel are cut off at the bottom. Going back to Gos for now, though someone managed to crash it while surfing the net. mATX Via chipset p4m800 s3 unichrome graphics. linux loads vesa drivers instead of s3 unichrome drivers.

I'm still on GNOME with 800x600 resolution but I can't switch to 1024x768 because there is no 1024x768 option under resolution settings.My monitor is 17" so 1024x768 should work fine.My graphic card is integrated GeForce 6150.

Just installed F11. Been totally frustrated all day and all night with resolutions and DNS bugs. I installed system-config-display so I can get my video working properly. However, my monitor says it's out of range only on the login screen. How can I change the resolution for the login screen to match that of my working environment?

How do you get to the place to change the screen resolution through the menus in Fedora 13? When I couldn't find it, I ran gnome-display-properties, changed the resolution, restarted, and when it started back up the resolution was not changed!
What is the recommended way to change the screen resolution?

i have a Fedroa12 installed as a VM, and my problem is that i can't change the resolution higher than 800x600 .
i am trying to do that with an Xorg.conf file. here is what i did:
1. telinit 3
2. Xorg -configure (root user)
3. cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
4. inside xorg.conf i have added the following:
under the "screen" section i have added:
DefaultDepth 24 then under the "SubSection" of Depth 24, i have added:
Modes "1680x1050" "1028X768" "800x600"
but then whenever i am try to start the X, it fails with the following message: no screen found...
since i am doing it for studying only, how to configure properly the xorg.conf file ?

it will NEVER let me change the screen resolution to 1440x900. It never gives me the option. I then spend hours looking for fixes, making Xconf files and editing them to no avail. The same is true for Fedora 15 (Beta). what can i do to get the 1440x900 option in my "Display" list in Fedora.

I am running Lenny of a Dell Mini 10, using only the console. I want to get the resolution smaller that 80 on the horizontal axis, but I can't find the right setting for vga in /boot/grub/menu.lst.
Inserting various values makes the dell give me list of possible video modes at boot, but none of these are higher than 80xSomething. It offers VESA modes that are choosing these results in unreadably tiny text, and anyway I wouldn't know how to edit in order to make these mode take effect automatically.
Can anyone tell give me a value that works for vga on Dell Mini 10 that produces a smaller resolution that 80xSomething? If not, can someone suggests a different way to obtain the same result?
