Hello All,
I am running a bunch of
CuBox-i Mini-PCs running
openSUSE 13.1 (Bottle) (armv7hl). This is also running
XFCE Desktop and
LightDM as the Display Manager.
These are placed in our branch office locations and they run as a headless linux box. I run x11vnc on each of these PCs to vnc to the box when I need to access it. Or ssh occasinally...
The CuBoxs come with an HDMI port as its only display port, and I guess with that, the default resolution was 1920x1080
(*unless a monitor was plugged in, it would use that monitor's native resolution). But, without a monitor attached, the only way to get it to use any other resolution was to use the fbdev driver and to modify the xorg.conf file to give me some more resolution options, which I can now use just fine while VNC'ed to the PC.
However, ever since I modified the
xorg.conf file, when I reboot the device and it comes back up, I'm now presented with a login page, that I had previously disabled by enabling Auto-login through the sysconfig editor, I believe
(*which is supposed to take precedence over any other config. So I modified
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file as well, after the auto-login stopped working, and I uncommented the following lines and instered my username but nothing changed:
Code:
autologin-user=netAdmin
autologin-user-timeout=0
Is there something I'm missing here? If you need to see my xorg.conf file, I attached it to this post. Before I made these changes with xorg.conf, there was no main xorg.conf file, so I created it, and added the sections for: Monitor, Device
(*for the fbdev driver), and a Screen section
(*with a "Display" subsection). So not sure why that would cause issues with auto-login.
Lastly, not sure it matters, but when it reboots and goes to the login screen, the resolution is still 1920x1080. It's not until I enter the password and login when the resoltuion changes to 1600x900, which is what I set the
PreferredMode to.
If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated!
***UPDATE***
I just did "mv xorg.con xorg.conf_BACKUP" to get rid of the xorg file temporarily. Then, I rebooted the PC. Upon reboot my user was logged in automatically. How is it that just having the attached xorg.conf file can cause auto-login to stop working..? Kind of stumped here. If I can't set the fbdev as the driver I cannot change the resolution at all.
Thanks in Advance,
Matt
