[SOLVED] How to reset screen resolution?

Hello,
I am new to Linux and have been installing Arch Linux closely following the beginner's guide. However, when I got to Step 3: Update system, I turned the system off for the evening and when I restarted this morning, my screen resolution has changed and I cannot see the first few characters of the command line and the bottom line is not visible at all. At that point I have to switch to another console (Alt F2) so I can see what I'm typing. I changed the vga=773 to 769 and 771 in /boot/grub/menu.lst, but it doesn't fix the problem.
How can I get the screen resolution lowered so I can see my command line? This is my HTPC, so I don't want to mess with the screen positioning and get that out of whack for the other functions it provides.
Thanks,
Ted

Thanks both for the replies.
I should have mentioned that I am connected to my Samsung 42" TV via HDMI/DVI, not VGA. Neither of my video cards have a VGA connector, only DVI. So I don't have an Auto function for that mode, and looking through the menus, I cannot find a screen position function, only mode a selection (16:9, 4:3, etc) which do not help. Even setting it at 4:3 leaves the image clipped so that I cannot see the extremities of the screen that is being produced. When I first boot up, it is in a low resolution that is 100% viewable, but after all the daemons get loaded up and before I am prompted for a login, the resolution changes to a higher setting and I loose the edges. Shouldn't there be a way to force it to a lower resolution, like when it first starts up?
This is making it extremely difficult to enter the commands I need to set up Arch on this PC.

Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

Sorry to say reloading WebOS did not help this issue on my TP. contacted Support and was told to send it.Even sorrier to say that my TP is now lost. My tracking number reports it as delievered on Dec 5, but HP has no record of it.When I got back on Chat they are now also telling me that my TP serial number is a EU model, even though my box clearly states HP Touchpad ,US, 1.20,32gb,Wifi.
Not sure what that even has to do with it being lost now..if it is as they say and no warranty on it in US I just want it sent back.

How to do screen resolution in session method

hi guru how to do screen resolution in session method.
please tell me.
regards
subhasis

Sometime back this is refered in SDN :
Check table <i>CTU_PARAMS</i> and field <i>DEFSIZE</i> for setting fixed line of table control.
CALL TRANSACTION 'VA01' USING it_bdcdata
OPTIONS FROM OPT
MESSAGES INTO it_mesg.
opt of type ctu_params.
WA_CTU_PARAMS-DISMODE = 'N'. "no screen mode
WA_CTU_PARAMS-UPDMODE = 'S'. "synchronus update
WA_CTU_PARAMS-NOBINPT = 'X'.
WA_CTU_PARAMS-NOBIEND = 'X'.
WA_CTU_PARAMS-DEFSIZE = 'X'. "Default size
Default size will play good role in terms of resoultion. in one system in table control you can see 10rows, but in others system it will show 20 records. it depends on resoultion. but when you set the default size then it will take same (default screen size) in all the systems when you run BDC.
Thanks!!

How to make screen resolution independent in BDC

How to make screen resolution independent in BDC

hi
good
You need to use the CTU_PARAM structure alon with the call transaction statment.
**Sturcture of CTU_PARAM
**DISMODE : Display mode (like the MODE addition 'A' , 'E', 'N')
**UPDMODE: Update mode (like the UPDATE addition 'S', 'A')
**DEFSIZE : Use default window size (Here we are handling those transaction by giving default window size)
**RACOMMIT: Do not end transaction at COMMIT WORK
**NOBINPT : No batch input mode (that is, SY-BINPT = SPACE)
**NOBIEND : No batch input mode after the end of BDC data.
*The components DEFSIZE , RACOMMIT, NOBINPT, and NOBIEND always take the following values:
'X' Yes
DATA : L_OPTION TYPE CTU_PARAMS, "Parameter string for runtime of CALL TRANSACTION
L_SUBRC TYPE SYSUBRC.
L_OPTION-DEFSIZE = 'X'.
L_OPTION-DISMODE = P_MODE.
L_OPTION-UPDMODE = 'S'.
CALL TRANSACTION 'FK01' "FK01-Vendor master creation
USING IT_BDCDATA
MESSAGES INTO IT_MESSTAB
OPTIONS FROM L_OPTION.

How do I stop Quicktime from trying to reset screen resolution?

I am running an AVID Media Composer video editing system on a WIN2000 platform, and just upgradeded to Quicktime 7.1 from 6 so I could run quicktime Pro.
Now every time I try to play a file in quicktime the screen flickers on and off as quicktime attempts to reset the screen resolution. Very annoying! If AVID is also running this causes AVID to crash (tough when you're using AVID to export a QT file!) Quicktime 6 never did this.
Is there a setting in Quicktime to stop this? Or alternately, can I switch back to a pro version of Quicktime 6?
Thanks.

Hey narfee,
I found an article that can goes over how to unregister your computer from syncing.
MobileMe Sync: About registering and unregistering computers
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1074
It depends on what type of computer you're using, but I pasted the relevant steps below:
Unregister a computer from syncing
If you no longer want a computer to sync with MobileMe, you can unregister the computer from syncing. You can unregister any computer that is registered for syncing from any other computer with Mac OS X v10.4.11, v10.5.8, v10.6.x, OS X Lion, Windows XP, or Windows Vista, as long as you know your member name and password.
Unregistering a computer from syncing does not delete any data.
To unregister a computer from syncing:
Mac OS X v10.4.11
Open System Preferences
Click .Mac
Click Advanced
Select the Computer you wish to unregister
Click Unregister
Mac OS X v10.5.8, v10.6.x, OS X Lion
Open System Preferences
Click MobileMe
Click Sync
Click Advanced
Select the Computer you wish to unregister
Click Unregister
Note: In Mac OS X v10.5.8, if you unregister all computers you may be prompted to delete unwanted sync data. If you are no longer syncing with MobileMe, you can delete the unused sync data from the MobileMe servers.
Windows XP or Vista
Open Control Panel
Click MobileMe Preferences
Click Sync
Click Advanced
Select the Computer you wish to unregister
Click Unregister

How to set screen resolution on Apple TV Gen2

This is my first bad out of the box experience with an Apple product. I got my brand new Apple TV Gen 2 and hooked it up to our Sony Receiver/TV.
Plugged everything in. Turned it on and I got the screen but am not able to change resolution. With the current resolution I can not see all the menus and the display does not fit on the 40" display.
Tried unplugging.
Tried doing a reset.
Tried holding the Menu & Down arrow
Tried looking through the menus, such as Settings, Video & Audio but can't find anything on setting screen resolution
Tried searching this forum for instructions for changing resolution
Much appreciation in advance for any tips or magic tricks on setting screen resolution.

i also have this problem. i had a long discussion with apple support and the result was that apple tv 2 is not build for connecting it to a receiver but only to a up-to-date flat TV. i don´t know how i managed it to use the 720p resolution but as i had it i set the auto power to off and let it switched on all the time.
after the update to 4.2.1 it had no chance to get it to 720p. it is locked to 1024x768 which is not the resolution i want to watch HD movies.
but my setup is not a normal one. i have a onkyo AV receiver which is sending the HDMI signal over a HDMI splitter to an LCD screen and a HD beamer. the LCD screen is an old one which has no HDMI input, i use a HDMI to analog-component converter for this. the HDMI output of the onkyo is connected to a wireless HDMI system from marmitek.
so its not so the ideal setting for apple tv. i hope that everything works fine if i have a new flat TV with a normal HDMI input.

How to set screen resolution in BDC

hi pls give info regarding how to set resolution for screen
thank you
Ravi

hi,
For screen resolution use ctu_params, with default size
Data : f_option type ctu_params,
f_option-updmode = 'S'.
f_option-defsize = 'X'.
f_option-dismode = 'N'.
call transaction 'VA01' using bdcdata options from f_option messages into bdcerror.
CALL TRANSACTION tcode... OPTIONS FROM opt
... OPTIONS FROM opt
Effect
Allows you to control processing using the values of the componetns of the structure opt, which must have the ABAP Dictionary type CTU_PARAMS. The components have the following meanings:
DISMODE
Display mode (like the MODE addition)
UPDMODE
Update mode (like the UPDATE addition)
CATTMODE

How to get screen resolution settings

How do u get the present screen resolution from code?
thanks

The AWT Toolkit class has got a method called getScreenSize(), it returns an instance of Dimension.
I'm not sure what to do when you have multiple screens though; maybe the methods of the classes GraphicsEnvironment and GraphicsDevice can be used.

How to change Screen resolution

Hi - I installed enterprise linux on VMware running on windows 7. The screen resolution show 800x600 which sucks. How can i change the screen resolution? thanks

You need to install VMware Tools, which will allow the VM to have a better screen resolution and color depth, a gigabit network connection and intelligent memory management. Also set your monitor to a device that supports the higher resolution.

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
