General :: Debian Resolution Screen And Three Green Rows
Apr 7, 2011
When Debian 6 (amd 64, testing) is loaded, before desktop appears, for a while, the screen is black and three strange green rows appear. Then, all is ok and I can see a normale desktop and start to use Debian. So, an error in video config could be possible. Linked to this fact (I think) , there is the impossibility to modify the resolution screen (that is fixed to 1024x768) and the refresh frequency. I've tried to find "xorg.conf" in order to modify it like various guides suggest me, but this file is not present.

I installed Debian 8.1 with iceweasel 38.2.1esr-1~deb8u1
Whenever I want to open a youtube fragment I do hear the sound but the screen just remains green. I already googled the issue but found no solution that works.

In linux terminal; how can we get the number of rows ad columns from linux kernel? I tried from environment variables(LINES,COLUMNS) but, I could not retrieve them as my editor program is a child process to linux terminal process.

Unfortunately my experience in the Unix* based world up to this point has only been using web servers and administrating them, no GUI experience of any kind so I am completely unfamiliar with the setup and entire usage of Xorg or any other Window manager at this point. The issue I am having is with the screen resolutions I am being allowed to chose for my Dell Studio 1535 running Fedora Core 13 and the KDE 4 desktop GUI, thus my issue since I am not really familiar with how to run a Unix* based GUI in the first place.
The basic information, if there is more needed just advise what and what command gathers that info (or what conf/log I should look into in order to find it). Laptop is a Dell Studio 1535 Video is the Mobile Intel GMA X3100 ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics. LCD interface is the LVDS.
So far it seems to give me modes for 1024x768 and on down, nothing above this. I believe I am supposed to use the radeon driver being that is the type of card it is but every time I change the xorg.conf file to use this instead of vesa the system wont get past the loading screen anymore upon reboot and nor can I seem to find a way to bring up a command line so I can hit up the Xorg.0.log to see what is wrong or change the xorg.conf file back to the original driver it had listed.
I am going to assume this is a missing driver or something else it hangs on but without being able to get access back to the system and having to rebuild it again (re-install via live CD) I am basically out of luck at this time. Sorry for the rather poor post but I do hope to receive some basic directions on where to go from here with this issue

I have a fresh install of debian on an older laptop. The screen resolution is 800 x 600, but I want it to be 1024 x768. I know this screen can handle this resolution because I've used it before. I tampered with xorg.conf according to this link, viewtopic.php?t=26577, but to no avail. Here is my xorg.conf
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier"Generic Keyboard"
Driver"kbd"
Option"XkbRules""xorg"
Option"XkbModel""pc104"
Option"XkbLayout""us"

One day when i logged in, my screen resolution became lower. The sistem do not recognize anymore my old resolution (native) 1600x900 . And you can realize that maybe there are problems with the video card, because the system is slower than before in this terms. What could have happened?

Ever since I installed Debian, my monitor keep saying: "Input Signal Out of Range Change Settings to 1600x900 - 60Hz". So I thought it a problem of the screen resolution, so I have been trying to edit my xorg.conf file, but it doesn't seem to work at all. And this is my settings.

I've been googling around for a while now and have been unsuccessful in setting up the screen resolution up properly... I have the manual for my monitor in case you ask for any of the specs. Other than unsuccessfully changing the xorg file, I've successfully went through the steps on Debians wiki site for NvidiaGraphicsDrivers in order to get my 9800gt working. I want to get the resolution upto 1400x900, but in the "Screen Resolution" window I only have the option for 640x480,50Hz

I just changed the desktop on my thinkpad from awesome to i3. And now I have some very strange issues with the screen resolution. Because at home I use this x60 thinkpad on a dockingstation and a 19" display. As long as I used Awesome as my Desktop, the display manager as well as the desktop itself could handle the different screen resolution depending on if I'm out with just my 12" on my thinkpad or with the much bigger screen on my home 19" display.
I can understand that i3 maybe cannot handle this alone and I need xrandx to enforce the screen resolution. But why is the display manager (lightdm) also affected by this change? What is so different that even the DM cannot find the proper screen resolution?

I'm running debian lenny and want to change the screen resolution from 640x480 to 1024x768. I'm using a nVidia Geforce FX 5800 and I installed the additional nvidia drivers with the help of this tutorial [URL]. Here is my xorg.conf

Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"

When I try to change the screen resolution via the gnome menu I just can choose the 640x480 resolution and 50Hz refresh rate.

I've googled the issue and had a little luck, though I can't seem to change my xorg.conf file because permissions are defailed. This is the example xorg.conf file I wrote based upon my original and the modifications:
# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.

With the default settings made by the installation of 11.3, I had, upon booting, an ugly screen showing green geko with a bar to show progress. Upon shutdown, there was this really neat screen showing the shut down process transparently on the SUSE splash screen. In the menu.lst file, there were the settings
Code:
SPLASH=SILENT QUIET
I wanted to have the boot process show transparently, the process on the splash screen. Possibly even change the underlying screen.

Now that I'm more lucid I can adjust the format a bit. If I try opening the TTY the screen goes completely black after visualizing few artifact on the bottom of the screen.
Pressing Ctrl+Alt+F7 brings me back safely to the GUI
So far I tried to modify the /etc/defaults/grub file to uncomment the grub resolution and the grub_terminal to no avail. Now at least it seams to waste some less time to load the grub (it took something like 15 sec before) but it lost the previous green/torquoise background and now it's white char on black background.
On a side note pressing C on the grub to reach the grub console gave me some answer I don't know how to deal with... I was trying to use vbeinfo but it didn't found the command and so I tried the insmod:
Photo(large) of the complete grub console session wrote:grub>
grub> videoinfo
List of supported video modes:
Legend: mask/position=red/green/blue/reserved
grub> videotest
error: no suitable video mode found.
grub> insmod vbe
error: file `/boot/grub/x86_64-efi/vbe.mod' not found

I'm using two screens where one Is cheep Denver TV screen with DVD player. I have just install Jessie on my PC. Before i had Windows and there was no problems finding correct resolution for this screen. Now Jessie recognize it as Unknown and the maximum resolution I can set is 1024x768 what is way to small even for this screen. At Windows resolution was something over 1200px wide. The worst thing about it is that this resolution stretches the display really ugly. You may think I'm making big deal of nothing but for me it is actually a deal. I'm graphical designer and I need to see display as it is.

I have been using Debian for 3 or 4 years, I have never used LXDE before. After several attempts and searches through google, I succeeded to change the screen resolution to 1024x768 but LXDE is retaining this resolution for only one session: I have to change the resolution every time I use LXDE.
This is what I have in ~/.config
edbarx@edbarx-pc:~/.config$ ls -l
total 72

How to enable native screen resolution in X using VESA driver? I have IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad T61 with a native screen resolution of 1680x1050, but I am getting 1024x768 instead.
This is a fresh install of Debian 8.3 (latest stable) (Jessie).
The root cause of this is that nouveau graphics driver (which I was using before) was causing me kernel crashes. Full story here: [URL] .....

I installed Squeeze with LXDE on my old 600MHz Celeron, 256MB ram computer. But, every time I boot, the screen resolution is wrong. I can set it right with a few clicks of the mouse, but next time I boot up it has reverted to the wrong setting. I found that this problem has been reported on the LXDE forum, but the official response seems to be that it is not their problem.
How do I get the correct setting to stick?
