Changing screen resolution?
  • DKruytDKruyt November 2010
    Hello. I was wondering how to change the resoluton SliTaz puts out, I am currently running a 800x600 desktop on a 1024x768 monitor, so I'm missing the majority of the screen, plus I need to do graphics design in GIMP with a resolution around 640x480 and I'm getting tired of having to move around so much. I have looked through the Preferences and Utility menus but I haven't found anything. Thanks in advance for any help, D.Kruyt.

    you have to edit the xorg.conf - try to find a correct one for your grafic card in the net

    if you still have problems we need the name of your grafic card best output of lspci

    Hi DKruyt
    Install xorg driver for your video card. Look at this site how to do it http://doc.slitaz.org/en:guides:xorg-xvesa
    To change quickly your current resolution install xorg-xrandr. Check with xrandr your screen name and available modes. Here is an example from my computer
    $ xrandr 
    Screen 0: minimum 320 x 240, current 800 x 600, maximum 1024 x 768
    default connected 800x600+0+0 0mm x 0mm
       1024x768       60.0  
       800x600        60.0*    56.0  
       640x480        60.0  
       320x240        60.0

    And then change to your desired mode.
    $ xrandr --output default --mode 1024x768
