Limited screen resolutions.

Hi guys,
This is my first (and likely not my last) post asking for help
I have installed Arch on VirtualBox following the Wiki. So far it hasn't been too bad but I think my inexperience is causing me problems setting up X11 properly.
I have installed Xorg and the Vbox guest additions, I then installed Gnome as my desktop and it all seems to boot fine. Unfortunately I only have a choice of 3 resolutions from within Gnome itself, 640 * 480, 800 * 600 and 1024 * 768. My main PC monitor is 1920 * 1200 and would like to use this for my Arch install.
How do I set this up?
Currently this is what my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file looks like:-
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "vboxmouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/vboxguest"
Option "CorePointer" "yes"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "vboxvideo"
EndSection
From other xorg.conf files I have seen in the past, this looks quite bare.
I then read the Xorg wiki for Arch also and states that to create a good base config file the following command should be ran:-
# xorg -configure
BUT! I don't know how to quit back to a command line from Gnome and Kill the Xserver. I press CTRL + ALT + F1 which gives me a command bash but the command 'killall X' gives me a 'no process found' error.
Phew! That was a lot to get off my chest haha.
If anyone can give me a few pointers it would be most appreciated.
Cheers!
Frankie

Well no options that I can see that would do that, all I have is the ability to feed it more virtual VRAM which is currently set at 64MB.
Thanks for the help so far

2011 MBP having limited screen resolution in Bootcamp

Hi All,
Running Bootcamp 4.0 with Win7. Bootcamp software is installed, drivers seem to be in place.
The screen has a limited resolution though, not the full 1440 x900 that it should have. Clicking on screen resolution only shows the one option for resolution.
Any thoughts?
A few other data points, loaded the bootcamp partion up in Parallels and I get the full resolution experience.

That's odd. Which model are you running? 13", 15", or 17"?
It's entirely possible that the Intel (13") or AMD (15"/17") video driver might not have installed properly. Check the Device Manager (Start > right-click Computer > Manage, then click Device Manager at left of the resulting window). If under Display Adapters you see "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter", or a "Video Controller" under Other Devices, then this may be your issue.
Running Boot Camp Setup a second time should fix this, but it's also possible that the driver CD did not burn properly and therefore the folders that contain drivers might be corrupted enough so as not to have been read during Setup. In this case, your best bet is to burn the CD again--to a known-good CD-R.

Screen resolution is limited to 1280 x 720

Hello.
I just got my new iMac 27 3.2 Mhz
The screen resolution is limited to 1280 x 720.
I reinitialized the PR Ram without success.
No other option is displayed in the preferences. someone has already this problem ?

Before taking the Mac to an Apple Store, you could call AppleCare who may be able to offer a solution, or organise an exchange of machine, that would hopefully save you the trouble of carting it around.

Question: T400 LED Screen Resolution Limited to WXGA?

Lenovo's website (US) is now only showing the following screen options for the T400:
14.1 WXGA TFT, w/ CCFL Backlight, Camera
14.1 WXGA+ TFT, w/ CCFL Backlight, Camera [add $30.00]
14.1 WXGA TFT, w/ LED Backlight, Camera [add $50.00]
14.1 WXGA TFT High Nit, w/ LED Backlight [add $120.00]
14.1 WXGA TFT High Nit, w/ LED Backlight, Camera [add $150.00]
Does anyone know why the LED screen is limited to WXGA and not WXGA+?
I'm looking to replace my T40p, and I'm not willing to go down in screen resolution.
Thanks,

There are 14.1 WXGA+ LED models available right now. Check the ThinkPad Reference (tabook) and search. That option is just apparently not available in CTO (Custom To Order) systems from the Lenovo Store at the moment.
This brings up the question: How can you order a pre-configured ThinkPad like those listed in tabook? Do you have to buy from a reseller? Why can't you order one from the online Lenovo Store? (Maybe you can, but it's not obvious to me how to do it, at least for the U.S. online store...)

Xorg 1.6, nvidia and screen resolutions

I just upgraded to xorg 1.6 from testing, including the nvidia drivers and kernel from testing. Everything is working great (and it fixed the libxi keyboard layout problems I was having), except that I can no longer select the screen resolution I want from the nvidia-settings application. The set of resolutions is very limited and I'm getting a horizontal stretch due to an incorrect aspect ratio.
I've tried manually adjusting the xorg.conf file after saving it in nvidia-settings, but it makes a mess of the file and I couldn't get it working. Does anybody know how to add screen resolutions into the nvidia-settings application?
Thank you!
Darin

Happened to me with most recent 1.5 update, I downgraded back to previous one to get working again. And now same happened with 1.6, this time I downgrade again without any further testing until someone else gets it solved

Screen Resolutions in OSX 10.8

Maybe someone can help, but if not - Apple, please sort this out, I've read complaints all over the net going back years...
Screen Resolutions. This isn't difficult Apple. The video card in my 2008 Mac Pro (a geforce somethignorother) can display all manner of resolutions - pretty much anything under 25**x1*** (whatever that res is) is supported. I know this because nvidia state as much on their website, and also because every single video card since the beginning of time (which, for me and computers, was circa 1996) can do it.
So why, when I connect a 24" Acer LCD screen (with a native resolution of 1920x1200) via VGA (vga because it's what I've got running under the floor) do the video resolution options in OSX only include 4:3 and 16:9 formats? I don't want 1920x1080. It's pathetic. My 2006 mac pro running 10.5 has no such problem. This 2008 Mac pro had no such problem while running 10.6 a few years ago.
Here's another example. After giving up with the 24" Acer (being advised to BUY a bit of software to access a resolution is ridiculous), I plugged in my 32" Sony LCD screen, again via VGA. This was interesting. Sony on their website stated that 1360x768 was the highest resolution accessable via VGA, despite the TV supporting 1920x1080 via digital inputs. As soon as OSX detects the TV then surely, 1360x768 is the highest offered resolution. But, if I boot the computer without the TV being on, then switch the TV on, I can set it to 1920x1080, and all is well. Work that one out Sony. A combination of Sony trying to limit their cheap tvs, and Apple interfering.
Anyway, my basic argument and complaint is this: I hate little more than computers that think they're smarter than the user. Even if we disgard the Sony example (which is doubtless a line of code written in the TV, rather than a technical limitation (as I own the 37" version of the TV, and it works at 1080p via VGA no probs - doubt they've engineered two different VGA circuits...)) - there is no excuse for OSX wrongly detecting a screen and displaying incorrect resolutions. Have an idiot mode by all means, but let me adjust the resolution beyond that. Give me access to all resolutions at all times.

Apple doesn't routinely monitor these discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Use an older driver or the vga-port instead.
There are maybe some hacks, but I tried many times in vista and linux. And it's always the same, only 1280x1024.
did some googling:

Thanks for the reply, but I don't believe that's the problem since that topic is from 2006 and I didn't had any problems last time I instaled arch (3 months ago).

Video problems, no ttys, screen resolution changes

Recently I have updated the nvidia drivers and others packages. Now, when the window manager (openbox) starts there is a horizontal line in the screen.
If I press Ctrl+Alt+Fn no tty is shown.
If I logout, the screen resolution at the login screen (Im using SLim) is below the normal and the screen looks shifted to the right, if I login the screen size is smaller and the top of the screen is reflected in the bottom, and sometimes after logout I dont get the Slim screen but the login prompt.
The nvidia driver version is 304.84-1.
My dmesg show this:
[ 17.084546] NVRM: Your system is not currently configured to drive a VGA console
[ 17.084553] NVRM: on the primary VGA device. The NVIDIA Linux graphics driver

Hi Gery
Thanks for the useful information.
I have noticed a similar issue with Vista running on my non-Toshiba notebook The graphic driver update helps definitely.

Mountain Lion mirroring - screen resolution problems

I've just upgraded to Mountain Lion and am no longer able to set the screen resolutions on the iMac monitor and my Sony LCD 46" to mirror properly. Previously it worked very well by selecting the highest resolution for both the iMac and the TV - but now selecting those resolution settings no longer mirror properly. I've also tried other resolution combinations with limited success. When the iMac looks good - the mirrored TV monitor does not or vice versa.
Any suggestions or directions/instructions would be appreciated.
Thanks..

You should have checked it before upgrading to Mountain Lion. Apple says that AirPlay Mirroring requires some hardware video encoding capabilities of 2nd and 3rd generation Intel Core processor, making all the 2010 and early Macs unsupported, but we don't know why AirParrot can stream on all the computers

ThinkPad T500 Screen Resolution Issues

Dear All,
Wonder if anybody can provide any advise on the following issue(s):
Just bought a T500 Centrino vpro, running on XP professional, 15" screen. Really happy with it, its fast and all. However, there seem to be only a few screen resolution options available. On my old Acer Travelmate, I used to have a 1024x600 which suited my myopia just fine. The closest setting to this one seems to be the 1024X768 but it is not great 'cos items appear a tad out of focus.
I understand the T500 i just bought was built to accommodate Vista (as a side note, a Vista Business tag with serial number can be found at the back of my laptop although the machine came with XP pro preinstalled..This leads me to my other question: What happened to my Vista?) and this perhaps explains the limited resolution options available and the fact that apart from the native setting all other resolutions available are not optimal.
Many thanks in advance.

There are several methods to increase the font sizes on your screen:
1) right click on desktop.
2) select personalize
3) select adjust font size (DPI) under the task list on the left
4) select the larger font size that is available.
Sometimes there are fonts that are just too small to read on the web browser.
Hold down your Ctrl key and use the mouse scroll button to increase the font size.
Alternatively Press the blue Fn button on the keyboard and then press the Space bar.

IBook screen resolution

Does anyone know what the highest screen resolution is while using an external display on an iBook g4. I am wanting a larger monitor, at least a 20", but if the resolution is limited to 1024x768, then it is pointless. Does anyone know if the iBook supports a higher resolution on external displays?

The iBook's firmware only allows the use of mirroring on an external display, which limits the maximum resolution on it to 1024x768 unless a firmware hack is applied, which isn't supported by Apple and may void the iBook's warranty.

Cant get higher screen resolutions ???

Hi all,
hope you can help...
I installed my new Ge4 Ti4200 last night. All works well but in display properties/settings the highest res. I can get is 1280x1024. This isn't right, i have a 20" LaCie monitor and have used the same one elsewhere at higher resolutions.
I dont think the problem is with the monitor driver as i have tried different monitor drivers and in any case, they all say 1600x1200 etc.. in the monitor.inf. My computer at work will go 2048x1536 and thats using the "default monitor" driver provided by microsoft. so thats not limiting it.
I can only think that when i installed the Geforce software and drivers, somehow it didn't talk to teh monitor properly and therefore limited teh available resolutions. I used to have a voodoo 3 and I know that they are notorrious for leaving old files in your system so maybe somehow old voodoo software has limited the resolutions that teh card will allow in teh display properties ?
any help would be appreciated

I do not know whether it helps, but I use Powerstrip .. very good software. It helps me to access monitor and video card settings easily. After installation and running this program it asks me whether I want Powerstrip to adjust resolutions that is allowed by my video card. After pressing yes I have rebooted PC. After that I could adjust screen resolutions in monitor settings up to 1600*1200 (used for plug and play default monitor). I notice that I use 15' monitor that support max resolution 1024*768 but PowerStrip allows me to change it up to 1600*1200. Of course I do not use resolutions higher than my monitor supports.
If you have no idea to solve your problem try this program. Maybe this one can help to access available resolutions correctly.
Here is the web page for PowerStrip: http://www.entechtaiwan.com

Client Screen Resolution

Hello-
I think there may not be a way around this but i figured Id ask.
I have a 13" MacBook, my fiance a 24" iMac.
Trying to use Illustrator on my baby screen is no fun at all. I dont have the right hardware to try to connect my mac to his and use his screen as a monitor (could I even do that?)
I was looking for and option without having to buy a monitor.
I installed ARP (3.3) on his computer and connected to mine, looks great and is not really a delay that I thought there would be.
But I didn't think that the screen resolution would be limited to what the laptop can handle 1280 x 800
any trick or work around to be able to view my screen on the laptop as large as his monitor (1920 x 1200)
Hope I explained well.
Thanks!

What's the maximum Screen Resolution (Windows 7) on a T410?

Hi,
I got a new Lenovo T410 laptop (Type 2252-AT6) which came with WinXP. I upgraded to Windows 7 but found that the screen resolution was really limited. The maximum I'm able to get is 1440 X 900 which is very disappointing as the WinXP install previous on the same machine was much better.
I tried installing all the video drivers from the downloads from the Lenovo support but none appear to help.
Is that the maximum I can get Win7? And do I have to go back to WinXP to get the better screen resolution on the same machine.
Appreciate any replies.
Regards,
Paul.

T410's WXGA+ can only support a maximum of 1440x900 resolution. There is nothing you can do about that.

The 15.6" screen size model only has a display resolution of 1366x768 according to the product specs at the link below.

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.

Limited screen resolutions.
