Question Changed resolution of Neptune Linux in AQEMU and now screen is garbled.


Hi.

I upped the resolution from 1024*768 in Neptune5-Plasma5-20180310 in AQEMU 0.9.2 and now the screen is garbled. I initially increased the resolution to the next increment and then another one and it changed fine but I tried an even higher res and this is the result [see attached image].

Is there a fix?

Thanks.

Im not sure if this applies to Neptune, but the video settings were in /etc/X11.

Boot from a live CD/DVD and edit them manually. It is not a good idea to set resolution above the manufacturers recommendation.

Hi MazinOz.

Here's a screenshot of that location. What file to edit?

Edit: I tried the second answer here but no joy: https://askubuntu.com/questions/7480...on-of-1024x768

I would try as root /etc/X11/./Xreset. I'm not really up on it, just pointing to where you may be able to find / edit the relevant file.

You mean:

Code:
/etc/X11/Xreset
Run with sudo of-course.

Removing (rather renaming) Xorg customisation such as in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ will reset your Xorg config.

Hi linuxbawks.

I tried all those - no joy.

I think it'd be easier to just use a new VM but am willing to try more suggestions still.

In that case if you eliminated Xorg config settings (all .conf files I mentioned above), the issue then is in your hypervisor config. Try and load your VM using VESA instead.

I tried this [attached image]. The issue remains.

So presumably XGA works fine but to what resolution did you change to when the screen got garbled?
An increase in screen resolution demands a greater amount of memory dedicated to the video output (be it real or virtual video).

I don't recall the exact resolution. I think it was 1200x something. I've since created a fresh Neptune5 VM in AQEMU and may just delete the problematic one.

I've since deleted the problematic Neptune VM. If someone else has this issue - hopefully they'll find this thread useful.
