Increase screen resolution in terminal (no X Server)

Hi
When you start ArchLinux, you enter in 'terminal mode' (how do you call it?), where you are asked username and password, then you usually type 'startx' to launch your DE.
Yesterday, I was installing NVidia drivers and for some reasons, the screen resolution increased also in terminal.... So I was able to see a lot more text in a single screen... but when I reinstalled Xorg and NVidia drivers, I lost everything...
How can I re-enable it?
Thank you.

Thank you. I also found this article on the WIki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRU … resolution
Why I can't set higher resolutions, as in Xfce? because, using lrmi, the highest resolution I get is 1024x768....

Unable to Change Screen Resolution in Remote Session - Windows Server 2012 R2

Does anybody know of a way to allow Remote Desktop users to adjust their own screen resolution in a remote session under Windows Server 2012 R2? We are struggling with this and can't seem to find a solution.
When users login to their RDP session and try to adjust their screen resolution this message is displayed in Control Panel:
"The display settings can't be changed from a remote session."
We don't want to use the "make text and other items larger or smaller" scaling feature, as this produces undesirable results with some of our applications. We also don't want to have to support multiple types of RDP clients or RDP shortcut
files.
We have looked at other posts but can't find an answer that applies to Windows Server 2012 R2. The closest thing we could find is KB2726399, but it only applies to Server 2008.
Does anybody have a solution for Server 2012?
Thanks

Hi,
Currently you cannot change the resolution from within the session. This is normal and expected behavior.
Unfortunately this means you need to set the desired resolution before connecting by using custom .rdp files, manually within the Remote Desktop Client, custom web launch page, custom windows launch program, etc.

Increasing screen resolution beyond 1440 x 900

Hello, is there a way to increase the screen resolution beyond 1440 x 900? The result I'm hoping for is one I can accomplish in Windows in that it creates a sort of virtual screen that becomes viewable when one moves the mouse pointer to that which is off-screen, thus bringing it on screen.
The entire desktop would shift to display only that 1440 x 900 of the, say, 1920 x 1200. I don't know what this is technically termed and I hope I've explained it well enough. Thanks!

Increase screen resolution in VBOX using Guest additions

Dear all,
I have installed SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 as my VM in VBOX. NOw i want to increase my screen resolution from 800*600 to 1024*768.My base machine is MAC.Please help me. I have installed all packages.
Regards

Screen resolution are two things: Monitor and Video driver. You will probably have to change your installed virtual monitor to a monitor that supports your desired resolution, in addition to changing the resolution of the video driver. Also in VM make sure you assign enough video memory. Normally 8 MB should be more than enough for true color SVGA.

How to increase screen resolution in Vista under boot camp?

I have installed Vista Home Premium under boot camp (OS X 10.5.7) but in preferences I can only get the maximum of 1280x960 while my screen resolution on SyncMaster P2250 in OS X is 1920x1080.
(I am using new Mac mini with NVIDIA GeForce 9400).
I have inserted Leopard disc in Vista and installed boot camp but still I can't make the resolution higher.

OK everything works fine! The problem was that after installation of Vista I was inserting old Leopard disc that I bought a year ago instead of inserting the Mac OS X installation disc that I got with new Mac mnini.
When I put the Mac OS X that was toghether with new Mac mini it installed missing driver and everything started working

How to increase screen resolution Solaris 10

Hi,
Just installed S10..The monitor that I am using runs pretty high resolution but the highest option that I can choose is 1024x768...What is the easiest way to increase the selections?
Also where would I look to find audio drivers for this box? The speaker has a red line going through it...Speaker works fine with latest dev build of opensolaris, though...Thanks.

If you are mirroring the displays they will have the same resolution, if you are extending the displays you can have different resolutions for each display.

Screen resolution testing

Hi everyone,
I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this - and perhaps suggestions of resources to use.
Re: screen resolution testing for website display - I find that the various online tools all behave in a sort of strange way - and perhaps I'm not "getting" it.
Example - if I test my old website, www.robcosh.com on any of these services to see how it displays, selecting iPhone 5 as the size simply means they create a tall rectangle and use that as a window to view my page - where I would have to scroll up and down, or sideways. This does not represent the reality in any way, shape or form! My iPhone 5 shows my entire site whether it's in landscape or portrait position, and it scales automatically to fit the page.
With that, it seems these tools are useless to see how a site might behave with various screen resolutions.
Can any comment on this, and point me to tools that are accurate which I can trust the output from in order to evaluate my sites' appearance across a variety of resolutions?
Many thanks!
Rob

Designing between the traditional desktop computer platform and other types of devices, like smart phones, is not very simple at all.
While it is true any modern smart phone's web browser will automatically scale a "desktop" web site to fit its screen the phone user must use pinch-zoom techniques to make the page useful at all. When a desktop web page layout is scaled to fit the phone's screen the content on the desktop layout will often be too tiny to read and the navigation elements are too tiny to select with a finger. This is one of the reasons why so many web sites have separate "mobile" versions.
In recent years smart phones have radically increased screen resolution. Plenty of Android-based phones have 1920x1080 full HD resolution screens, some support higher resolution levels like 2560x1440. The phone screens are still the same physical size (big for a phone screen, but tiny in relation to modern desktop computer monitors), but they're packing in a lot more pixels into the same sized piece of screen real estate. This is complicating the situation for designing a mobile version of a web site. Some really old phones still in use have pretty limited resolution while some newer phones have better than 1080p resolution.
The traditional desktop platform isn't standing still either. A regular 960 pixel layout on its own probably isn't going to cut it anymore. HiPDI techniques are recommended to bridge the gap between the resolution levels of older computer monitors and the HD and better than HD settings used in newer monitors.
Solution? A fair amount of extra planning and work. Adobe Muse doesn't fully support a fully "responsive" web design approach, but it does support HiDPI and allows for separate mobile and tablet site generation. Vector-based graphics will grow in importance. SVG images can cleanly scale for a variety of screen sizes and work great in HiDPI layouts. But I think Adobe needs to do more work improving SVG support within Muse and Illustrator.

Screen resolution for OEL 5 on VMware Server 1.0.3

Hi
I have installed Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 in a VMware Server 1.0.3 virtual machine.
The problem is that I can only run the virtual machine in 800x600 or 640x480.
Anyone who has tried this and made it work?
I have VMWare Tools installed and I have run the vmware-tools-config, or what its called.
When choosing 1024x768 as the screen resolution. Linux is unable to start the Xserver. Sorry, but I don't have the error message when writing this.
The Virtual Machine i setup as a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 server.
Regards
Nick

Hi
This is how the system works right now.
I also tried to add manually the 1024x768 resolution with the Mode option. but this didn't work.
Thx in advance.

Increase the screen resolution

Hi All
Is it possible to increase the screen resolution in BDC?
My Max screen resolution is 1280 X 800 and my BDC screen operates at this resolution
I want to increase it to 1400 X 1080
Is there a way i can pass these values?
Thanks in advance

Hi:
The 15.6" screen size model only has a display resolution of 1366x768 according to the product specs at the link below.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c04031365&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...
There are no product specs listed for the 17" screen model but since they end in the same 111tx, I assume that the 17" display has the same resolution as well.
Nothing you can do to change that. It is a limitation of the display panel hardware.

Qosmio X500 - How to increase the screen resolution?

Hi,
Does anybody know how to increase the screen resolution? My qosmio X500 is 1920 x 1080 and I want to raise it to 1920 x 1200.
Thank you/Red

Hey
1) I think the screen brightness is about 180 nits for this qosmio model. If I change the graphics card, can I increase the brightness to 300 NITS levels? If yes, which card do you suggest? If not, how can I achieve this?
2) When I view the screen in 100 % magnitude, then the texts are too small to read. But then when I view the screen in 125 % or higher, then the texts go blurry. Is there a way to avoid this?

Q5 drastic increase in screen resolution after OS upgrade

So:
I updated the Q5's OS software to version10.3.1.1865 and after that the screen resolution has increased so much that the icons seem much smaller and my eyes hurt.
One of the closest solutions I found on here was from a post that complained about everything getting too big. The solution to that was to access Accessibility in the settings and disable the screen magnification.
I enabled it and everything became bigger but it did not solve the high resolution.
Is there any way to turn it down or even download the old OS version?
Thank you

You can reinstall the old OS but unless you have a backup from the previous OS you won't be able to restore a backup from this OS to the old one.
