change screen resolution at login prompt
hi I am using ubuntu 8.04.
At login prompt my screen resolution is 1024x768 which makes letters look so small how can I change it 800x600.In my user account I have set it to 800x600 using system>preferences>screen resolution. |
You could try a kernel boot parameter. Perhaps "vga=0x314", but it will depend on what your kernel has built into it.
|
I tried the option by editing kernel line in GRUB but still login prompt still has resolution of 1024x768.this option of 'vga=0x314' is for screen during booting i.e when you see OS logo but login prompt appears after that.
I think somebody told me to edit X configuration file.Can you tell what is exact file name with absolute path address? |
As I was saying that I want that login prompt should have screen resolution 800x600 & giving parameter to kernel does not work.Does anybody know about which X configuration file to edit ?

Here is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Code:
gtf 800 600 60 But do I have to comment the lines in monitor section ? |
Hi,
I have posted my /etc/x11/xorg.conf.Now can anybody suggest lines to be edited for 800x600 resolution at login prompt in GNOME ? |
NOTE:-i have similiar post in thread for ion3
this is for benefit of other users Changing GDM resolution I added following line in /etc/gdm/Init/Default xrandr --output VGA --mode 640x480 before the line sysmodmap...(something something) Changing ion3 resolution i have noticed that if i select in ubuntu my screen resolution as 800x600 then no effect of editing xrandr line in ~/.xinit. But the line in .xinit helps if you use ion3 window manager. i also think metacity is window manager of GNOME. am i right ? find current screen resolution run Code:
xdpyinfo | grep -i 'dimension' |
