Yes, I have Intel CPUs: > [ 0.072372] CPU0: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T5500 @ 1.66GHz stepping > 06 > [ 0.160057] CPU1: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T5500 @ 1.66GHz stepping > 06 > You should test changes first by hitting e at the grub screen and hand > entering it there.

I have no big problems with X screen resolution. After loading the desktop environment I indeed have a screen more little than physical display but I can fix it by using ordinary gnome means (gnome-display-properties). But I cannot fix that problem in consoles. I'm setting screen resolution for boot only - When my system booting, I have very good fonts in console and full screen size - both in the grub console and in the console of initrd. Then, I type my LUKS-passphrase (I have the disk-encrypted system installed with defaul settings of Debian installer - /boot on /dev/sda1 and LVM on encrypted physical partition). Immediatly after that my fonts and screen are still normal and after some times they changes to awful. > I usually do that as desktop/netbook clients like a seamless bling boot > (boot splash matches desktop splash) - but if the desktop resolution is > different then the screen will resize when the desktop manager loads. > > I set X resolution in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/45custom_xrandr-settings > eg. contents:- > xrandr -s 1024x768 > > >> <snipped> place my record "ipv6.disable=1" - in the string >> "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT" > > Yes > > <snipped> > > I suggest you wait and see if anyone else has some comments. > > > > Kind regards > > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
