View 2 Replies View RelatedDebian :: Console Display Mode Not Supported?
Feb 26, 2011I've just tried to install X on my new debian system which had a nasty side effect.
I can see the bootcycle up to "Waiting for /dev to be fully populated." and then the screen switches into a display mode unsupported by my display. I've had problems like this many times before because the display returns it's capabable of resolutions like 2048x1536, which it just isnt. I've had to disable autodetection whenever using this display. One thing to note thought is that it's NOT X that's messing up the display. It's setting the wrong display mode even before the filesystems are mounted. And I've already uninstalled X with no change either. Also recovery(single user) mode has no proper display output either.
what is setting my display to the wrong mode?

gdm for desktop manager
I have 4 differences situations, 2 work, 2 do not: So I think my server box (Jill) is messed up.
1) On the server desktop, I can open a console as the gui logged in user and type: xeyes and those eyes appear.echo $DISPLAY :0.0
2) If from that console I log in as another user (ros) and then type:
xeyes I get:
Error: Can't open display:
echo $DISPLAY
(NOTHING)
so that will be a problem.
3) If I ssh into my offices remote server from my XP machine with putty and x-forwarding and then type:
xeyes and those eyes appear.
echo $DISPLAY
localhost:11.0
4) If I ssh into Jill from my XP machine with putty and x-forwarding and then type:
xeyes I get:
Error: Can't open display: echo $DISPLAY (NOTHING)so that will be a problem.
This leads me to think I have something messed up on my Linux box Jill.
I have tried setting DISPLAY= to various values but same error, so this led me to believe something else needs setting. Especially as env yields alot more in situation 1 than in situation 2.
What can I set where, that will allow me run xeyes (anything X) in situations 2 and 4, just like in situation 1 and 3?

Hardware :: Video Display Goes Blank When Switching From X To Virtual Console / Sort It?
Nov 9, 2010I am having a problem getting my virtual console back after starting XWindows. The display goes blank when I press Ctrl-Alt-F1. If I press Ctrl-Alt-F7 I get the X session back. I have tried setting vga=x31A on the linux boot up. Also tried rdev -v /vmlinuz -1, and rebooted. I have tried two different monitors, same problem. One is a an LCD (Philips 170S6Fb/27, the other a Samsung Sync Master 750s. Originally the Samsung worked fine. I could switch between X and VC no problem. Now that I have the LCD monitor working after changing the XF86Config, I have this problem.
My kernel is 2.2.15-5.0, Redhat 6.2. Here is the output of lspci for the video card:
00:0c.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage II+ 215GTB [Mach64 GTB] (rev 9a) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
Subsystem: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 4755
Flags: bus master, stepping, medium devsel, latency 0
Memory at e2000000 (32-bit, prefetchable)
I/O ports at b400
Memory at e0000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable)
Expansion ROM at 000c0000 [disabled]
Hopefully there is someway to control how linux sets the video mode when switching consoles.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Change The Console Font?
Jul 11, 2010Not the gnome-terminal fonts... That's easy... How about the font faces on tty1-6? I tried Slackware once... It was way back in my Linux experience so it struck to me as a clumsy and ill-managed operating system despite that the fact is the exact opposite... Well, as it appears, Slackware did have something about changing the console font since it mostly focused on terminal, you know, it booted up in terminal by default, for starters. Anyway, since Ubuntu is Linux as well, I guess there must be some way of changing the font face for the terminals, eh?
View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Cannot Change Resolution On Console
Jul 20, 2010I 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).

Aug 8, 2010I 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?

Mar 20, 2010Is there any way to specify which monitor the console is displayed on in Linux?
Details: I have a 3 monitor setup with 2 video cards. When I boot the computer, the BIOS displays on the PCI graphics card (which has a small monitor). When starting Linux, the console is displayed on the same monitor. Is there a way to have the console output on a different monitor? I'm using the vesafb framebuffer.
I don't see a way in my BIOS to change the default video card.

View 3 Replies View RelatedSlackware :: Can't Change The Console Text On Netbook
Aug 16, 2010I just installed Slackware 13.1 on my Acer a0531h. My first problem is the size of letters on pure console. It's too small. I tried tweaking lilo but even using 'normal' doesn't change the size of letters. I haven't changed the default font (I think it's called default8x16). The text looks pretty sharp though, so I'm wondering whether this is its native resolution. The text during installation was huge, and quite blurry. I just want to have a text size I can easily read and if possible be sharp. I know I can start X and have whatever font family and size I want, but somehow I feel better using pure console. Just in case it matters, I want to say that eventually I want to have UTF8 support on the command line (so that I can read and write Greek).
View 6 Replies View RelatedFedora :: Change Console Resolution To 1280x800? (Using Fglrx)?
Mar 25, 2009I'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.

Sep 25, 2010I can't find, though, how to change that. In DOSBox, ctrl+alt+f5 starts and stops video capture, but Ubuntu's command took precedence when I did that. I had to hard shut down before doing some searching and finding out ctrl+alt+f7 gets me out of there...that doesn't help me with the problem of taking video on DOSBox though. I went to ystem>Preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts to see if I could change the command or disable it, but it wasn't listed...so I'm stuck. I don't want ctrl+alt+f5 to bring me to a console, so how do I make it not do that?
