[SOLVED] Default Native resolution?

J93 · 2012-08-21 15:41:32

Hi All,

After setting up my ATI Radeon HD5770 with the Guide which was worked.

I keep having to manually set my screen resolution to 1400x900; It currently Sets it to 1600x1200; Which looks awful and not clear.

Is there something I missed when doing my Graphics card? I've ran the aticonfig --initial.

Can someone explain to me how i can setup to it be preferred 1400x900?

I tried looking at amdcccle however I can't change the prefered in that.

Cheers,
J93.

Hi,

you can use xrandr. Enter the command

xrandr

and you see the list of available resolutions. The active one is marked with a '*'

Change it by putting

xrandr -s 1400x900 &

into the upper part of your autostart (desktop menu -> settings -> openbox -> edit autostart)

Save and exit, log out and back, and you're happy.

Yes! Thank you, I added a refresh rate onto the end and it worked!

Now another issue that has appeared; The resolution is now correct however some fonts are extremly small (when the resolution was at 1600x1200).

I've restarted the PC and they are still effected.

The conky is really small compared to normal text size on the website; My bookmarks and Tab titles are really small too.

Is it something to do with my autostart?

I've tried moving it down to the group load section from the top of the page to see if it was just the order of it.

## Set root window colour
hsetroot -solid "#2E3436" &

## Group start:
## 1. nitrogen - restores wallpaper
## 2. compositor
## 3. sleep - give compositor time to start
## 4. conky
## 5. tint2 panel
(\
nitrogen --restore && \
cb-compositor --start && \
xrandr -s 1440x900 -r 60 && \
sleep 2s && \
conky -q && \
tint2 \
) &

## Enable hot corners
cb-hotcorners --daemon &

## Volume control for systray
(sleep 2s && pnmixer) &

## Volume keys daemon
xfce4-volumed &

## Enable power management
xfce4-power-manager &

## Start Thunar Daemon
thunar --daemon &

## Detect and configure touchpad. See 'man synclient' for more info.
if egrep -iq 'touchpad' /proc/bus/input/devices; then
    synclient VertEdgeScroll=1 &
    synclient TapButton1=1 &
fi

## Start xscreensaver
xscreensaver -no-splash &

## Start Clipboard manager
(sleep 3s && clipit) &

## Set keyboard settings - 250 ms delay and 25 cps (characters per second) repeat rate.
## Adjust the values according to your preferances.
xset r rate 250 25 &

## cb-fortune - have Waldorf say a little adage
#(sleep 120s && cb-fortune) &

## GNOME PolicyKit and Keyring
(\
/usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 && \
/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=ssh && \
/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=secrets && \
/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=pkcs11 && \
/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=gpg \
) &

Is there anything that could be effecting? My X11 xorg.conf?

I haven't touched any of it, I only added the bit for my Mouse so it works correctly.

Thanks,
J.

-- FIXED --

I adjusted my DPI (I think that was it) and I've now got normal sized fonts on my conky and Browser.

Cheers.

Yes, DPI it is. Should be 96 or 120 in most cases. Nice you have it working. wink
