|
|
In KDE there is this app "Screen Resize and Rotate", but how do I change the resolution in fluxbox?
Thanks in advance

While I'm sure there is a much more graceful way, a quick and dirty way is to edit your xorg.conf file and only allow the resolution you want.. I'd post mine as an example but I'm not currently on a linux box _________________ The success of Linux is based on the failure[s] of Windows |

The screen section can look like this:
Code: | Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen 1"
Device "video"
Monitor "monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1024x768"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubSection
EndSection |
In modes add any more you like. When using fluxbox, try pressing ctrl+alt+'-' or ctrl+alt+'+' to change the resolution.
Also, HorizSync and VertRefresh values are very important. Refer to the manual to see what frequencies to use with selected resolution. |

Thanks for the input, but
changing xorg is not an option, since that will require the su edit xorg.conf and a restart of X and is not very girlfriend-friendly if you know what I mean.
I use metamodes
Code: |
Option "MetaModes" "1280x1024, NULL; 1024x768, 1024x768; 800x600, NULL"
|
thus rendering if I set the resolution to 1024x768 the signal will also be processed via TV-OUT.
Pressing CTRL ALT + and '-' causes the resulotion to change, but instead I will be placed in a virtual desktop (moving the coursor moves the entire desktop).
Seems that I will not migrate to Flux after all.. |

YaY!
The tool to rezise screen is called krandrtray, so adding this to startup gives the neat Screen Size & Rotate icon in the menubar!
Sweeeet! |
