Startup screen resolution
Just wanted to know. Does anybody else's desired resolution in KDE or any other environment startup automatically? Or does it start off 800x600, and then change to the desired resolution. The reason I ask is because I have mine set at 1024x768 however each time I start KDE, it begins with an 800x600 resolution then switches to the right one. Is there any way to just make it automatically start at 1024x768? This is what I have in my xorg.conf
Code:
# ********************************************************************** |
click on the programs button --> System --> screen resize and rotate
a blue icon will appear in your task tray right click it --> configure display theres an option to save on startup |
I already have that option checked, but its useless, because it always starts in 800x600 and then it switches to the right one, thats what that option does, I was just hoping that there was some kind of way to already start at 1024x768 once the xserver starts. doh :mad:

edit lilo.conf
hi
i think it can b fixed by editing lilo.conf what have u enabled in the lilo conf, frame buffer console,,,, __________________________ # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256 #vga = 773 -------->make this active # Normal VGA console vga = normal ----------->uncheck this and dont forget to run #lilo or /sbin/lilo from root ;) soon after u edit lilo r u getting cool linux tux:p now???????????? if it works let me know :) :) regards edit: r u running 2.4.x kernel, if so it will work if using 2.6 kernel i think this wont b needed |
just about your edit...
whetever 2.4 or 2.6 this only works if you have framebuffer in kernel compiled and lilo.conf with right config like you just post. slackware 10.1/2 comes with the built in modules and drivers tu use framebuffer, just check if they are ok on lilo.conf or maybe if you encounter problems this can help you http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...uffer+solution [ ]īs |
That did not work either, I changed the framebuffer resolution in lilo.conf to 1024x768 and it still starts off with the screen not in the right size, but now I am thinking, maybe it could already be in 1024x768, but probably using a lower refresh rate, instead of 100Hz, since I have my monitor settings tuned to 100Hz, anything below that, would cause the resolution to not be centered correctly, I dunno, its only a guess.. :scratch:

run lilo after editing lilo.conf
hi Jeebizz
actually it worked for me, when i edited my lilo.conf remmber u have to run lilo soon after u make a change in the lilo.conf Quote:
%till i dont got answer for ur kernel, is it working for 2.6kernel?? for maginotjr actully even if my lilo part was vga = normal i could see my cool linux logo in 2.6.12.3 kernel but for 2.4 it was not, i hope jeebizz using 2.4 kernel and he can't c the linux logo while boting as u said slackware comes with the built in modules and drivers tu use framebuffer but we have to enable it in the installation setup, evenif u compiled it in kernel u have to edit lilo...... |
I guess there is still some misunderstanding, first, I can see the linux logo just fine when I startup the resolution, and I changed it to 1024x768 under lilo and rebooted, and it worked, BUT when I start KDE, it first starts at at either an incorrect resolution or incorrect refresh rate first, and then switches to the right one, and THAT is whats bugging me, I want to try and get KDE to automatically start at the right screen resolution and refresh rate, without it switching to the desired resolution later.
