How to change [console, login, single-user] screen resolution?

Hello people.
This computer has a 1600x1200 capable screen but it show console (by "console" I mean the DOS-like interface showning white text at startup, single-user (command-s) mode as well as the graphical boot logo and Login screen) in 800x600 only. This is bad
Give me a Linux system and I'll go right to the bootloader settings and/or kernel arguments line. There it is. I have tried very hard to find the way. I have not given up yet but I am tired of not-finding my way around. There must be a way!
My question is: How does one go about setting the console resolution?
Interesting fact: Upon cold-boot, the screen is set at 800x600@60Hz-or-so all the way up to my desktop where it switch to my user-defined settings (1280x1024@85Hz). To log out gives back the Login screen at a proper resolution.

I found that in /var/log/windowserver.log
Server is starting up
Jun 03 11:40:33 [86] CGXPerformInitialDisplayConfiguration
Jun 03 11:40:33 [86] Display 0x5b81c5c0: MappedDisplay Unit 0; Vendor 0x756e6b6e Model 0x717 S/N 0; online enabled (0,0)[800 x 600], base addr 0x3008000
I want the [800x600] part to be set to [1280x1024]

  • How to change the order of users in appearance of login screen?

    Hello!
    Because we often switch to a user,
    which is listed last in login screen,
    we want move them to the second place.
    How to change the order of users in appearance of login screen?
    Thank you for a tip
    Erhy

    The order users show up on the login screen is the way they are ordered under the
    C:/Users directory. This is usually alphabetical, AFAIK there is no other way to change the order other than to change the username to something that starts with a letter that will be higher alphabetically.

  • I made changes in the single user mode - now my MacBook Pro does not boot anymore.

    Hello apple support community,
    I made changes in the single user mode and my MacBook Pro does now not boot anymore. It displays a grey bar and the "work in progress" wheel. My intention was to change my admin password following these steps:

    Any idea how I can undo changes made in the single user mode?
    Thanks in advance for your support - I hope I don't sound to nooby

  • How to change the color of SAP screen?

    Hi Frens,
    I know it has nothing to do with SD Community, but still I am asking. Can anyone tell me "How to change the color of SAP screen?" It is needed especially when you are working on System Landscape including PRD, Qua & Dev. There are chances that you end up making a test case in PRD instead of Dev or Qua. To avoid that, different color of SAP screen may be very useful and safe.
    Regards

    We had a clone of SAP for testing
    Only GUIXT solution was available for users to distinguish between real Prod & Clone as SID was same
    Created 2 scripts n C:\guixt\scripts
    saplsmtr_navigation.e0100.txt
    Esession.txt
    BOTH having identical code
    if V[_ashost=10.3.3.18]
      TitlePrefix "CLONE18"
      TitleSuffix "(CLONE8)"
    endif
    if V[_ashost=10.3.3.25]
      TitlePrefix "PROD25"
      TitleSuffix "(PROD25)"
    endif
    After much research - this was only solution.
    GUIXT will be around; like SAPSCRIPT & SMARTFORMS
    despite the enticement of Adobe Forms!
    After some time you may set GUIXT profile start window HIDDEN
    This you do by clicking profile button of GUIXT menu
    If you want to see GUIXT Window again
    CMD.exe Dos prompt
    cd C:\Program Files\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui
    guixt visible

    Note: 1059291.6 - How to Put a Database into Restricted Mode and Verify Restricted Mode
    The impact is none of the users will be able to connect to the database/application (except for the sys user which can connect to the database). Usually, you would need to put the database in restricted mode when doing upgrade/migrate (i.e. you do not want to have active user sessions in the database during that time).
    Thanks,
    HusseinHi
    i want to mean:
    ALTER SYSTEM QUIESCE RESTRICTEDThe ALTER SYSTEM QUIESCE RESTRICTED statement may wait a long time for active sessions to become inactive. You can determine the sessions that are blocking the quiesce operation by querying the V$BLOCKING_QUIESCE view. This view returns only a single column: SID (Session ID). You can join it with V$SESSION to get more information about the session, as shown in the following example:
    select bl.sid, user, osuser, type, program
    from v$blocking_quiesce bl, v$session se
    where bl.sid = se.sid;I suspect all apps user can.t login to db?

  • How to change password of sys user connected as sysdba?

    How to change password of sys user connected as sysdba?
    I have connected with user name sys as sysdba in oracle 9i with password oracle.
    I want to change the password . I typed password and pressed entered. It asks me to type old password, then new password and retype the new password. When I press enter it gives error message "ERROR:
    ORA-28008: invalid old password"
    Password unchanged.
    does anyone know about this...? how to change the password..?

    You may be using operating system authentication to log in as sys with sysdba privileges.
    By using password utility, you can change the password of sys user (which is in database) which is "change_on_install" when you create a database.
    You can change this password.

  • How to create a login to users in PHP

    How to create a login for users to access their data,
    currently I can only see the first user everytime I login even with
    a different username. I know I need session stuff but don't know
    how to use, add or where to put them in.
    Thanks in advanced.

    I also am wrestling with the same problem. Session variables
    have not worked. I have determined that if the GET method is used,
    then the recordset of the users records are there. If the POST
    method is used, the recordset is blank. It appears to be something
    inherent in the Log In User behavior.
    I am trying to have a customer log in and then only see their
    particular inventory records. I do not want them be directed to a
    page with a listing of all the various customers and then select
    from that. Not suitable at all.
    If I find an answer, will let you know.
    Thanks and good luck,

  • How to change the visible length in screen painter?

    Hi Guys,
    we have field in screen which is type to ATWRT but the visible length is set to 11. ATWRT is 30 char.
    Please advise on How to change the visible length in screen painter to make it 30?
    When I try to edit the defined length from 11 to 30. It wont allow me to.
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi,
    Try the below method:
    Goto Screen Painter -> Double click on Input-Output field for ATWRT another screen will appear with attributes of Input Output field -> Increase the Visible length Value there. (Option of visible length is below the Name and Text attribut of Attribute windiw.)
    If the Visible length field isn't allowing change then declare it as a Char type instead of taking the DataType for Data Dictionary.
    Thanks,

  • Switcher ?Can you change the size of the screen resolution on the Macbook?

    I'm really interested in buying a Macbook. This will be my first Mac. I love the way they look and feel. I'm concerned with the size of everything on the Macbook. The overall size of the fonts in applications such as word, or safari was too small for me.
    Can you change the size of the screen resolution in OSX like you can on Windows? In Windows doing this makes everything visually bigger.
    Please say you can. I'm really wanting the Macbook as it would be great for for a student like me.
    Thanks in advance.
    Hopefully a Macbook 13" 2.0 Superdrive soon.
    Hopefully a Macbook 13" 2.0 Superdrive White soon.

    With an LCD, if you change the resolution, things will be bigger, but blurrier.
    You can however keep the resolution of the LCD at its native resolution, giving the maximum picture quality, and then use tools, such as Tinkertool…

    … to modify the font display size of items such as the menu bar, Finder labels etc etc.

  • I changed my wheel group properties to no access at top disk level.  I messed up, how can I change back in single user mode "command s" as I am now in Thailand and not able to access startup disks?

    I messed up, I changed my "Wheel group" properties to No Access ( or something other than the default) at the top level of my startup disk "Macintosh HD".   Now my computer won't start up, I just get the spinning wheel of death.    I also am in Thailand right now, so I cannot go to a Genius at an apple store, nor do I have startup disks available.
    So I was hoping there was a way to change back the properties of my disk (Volume) in single user mode (via Command +s) during startup, i.e. can I do a chmod command on the Macintosh HD listing under the Volume Directory.    Or where do i fix this?   Is it fixable without startup disks, etc...
    THANKS FOR ANY HELP!!!!
    If you could also please let me know you have an answer, I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!! 
    thanks so much

    <Edited by Host>

    Thomas,
    Thanks for the info on command-R, didn't know about that!!!
    Yes I changed the sharing "Wheel Group" permissions on my hard drive via Get Info.    But that's all I did.    And then most of the apps wouldn't respond with anything.    So not knowing I did something stupid, I decided to re-boot, and then nothing but the Wheel of Death at startup.
    I was trying to limit access to my computer on this network, changed my public folder settings, and then I thought why not the whole hard drive, but at that time I had no idea what the "Wheel Group" was... so I shouldn't have touched it, BUT IT DID ...... argggggg....
    I managed to go to an internet cafe & research the problem yesterday.    I used the command +s single mode to get in, and then did the necessary steps to mount the drive so I could make changes.   I basically did this:
    Boot into single-user mode (boot while holding down CMD-S)
    Follow the on-screen instructions to mount the file system as read-write (a fsck command followed by a mount command)
    Type the following: "chmod o+r /" followed by "chmod o+x /"
    Type "exit" to leave single user mode and complete the boot sequence.
    I found it at this link http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=416180
    It worked... thank God!!!   Well so far so good.   
    I was going to try my own fix by chmod on the Hard drive listed under Volumes directory, but that doesn't seem to match the info under Get Info Window.    So I just used the fix above.    I probably should now go and do "Disk Utility - repair permissions", however I am a little gun shy right now, so I will probably wait until I am back in the States so I can go to an Apple store if it messes up.   Right now I'm following the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" MOTTO...
    So Thomas I just wanted to say THANKS for replying so quickly, and I really appreciate your help!!!
    (yes I know I shouldn't have used my email addresses, but I WAS DESPERATE, but that's still no excuse)
    Hopefully maybe this thread will help someone else out in the future....
    Okay, thanks again!
